Gantries, or gantry cranes, are a type of crane built atop a gantry, which is a structure used to straddle an object or workspace. They can range from enormous “full” gantries, suitable for heavyweight lifting tasks, to smaller “portable” or “mobile” gantries that can be easily moved within industrial environments.
Explore our wide range of gantries, meticulously crafted to meet a diverse range of lifting needs across industries. Whether you opt for our sturdy steel gantries or lightweight aluminium models, our mobile gantries boast lifting capacities from 250kg to 5,000kg. Choose from our steel gantries featuring traditional I-beams or the advanced Eurosystem profile beam, perfect for both indoor and outdoor applications.
As trusted gantry manufacturers, we ensure each product meets rigorous quality standards, making them ideal for manufacturers, workshops, warehouses, and construction sites alike. Enhance your operations with our dependable gantries designed to optimise efficiency and safety in handling materials.

Gantries are utilised for a multitude of purposes across different sectors due to their versatility in handling heavy loads and materials. Their primary use is for lifting and transporting heavy objects from one location to another.
They are commonly found in industrial, manufacturing, and construction settings for tasks such as moving machinery, hoisting automobiles in service stations, or transferring heavy materials in warehouses. Moreover, they are also employed in shipyards for lifting large engines or in railways and aviation sectors for maintenance and manufacturing processes. With the ability to span horizontally and vertically, gantries provide a practical and efficient solution to a wide range of lifting and moving challenges.
Outlined below are the key features of our gantries, emphasising their robust design, versatility, and commitment to safety.
The hallmark of gantries is their signature “gateway” structure, which comprises two A-frame sturdy steel legs connected atop by a crossbeam. Thanks to their design, they find use in a myriad of environments from ports and docks to warehouses and construction zones.
While gantries can be stationary, many variants offer mobility. Smaller models equipped with wheels can be manually maneuvered, whereas the more substantial, industrial types are predominantly stationary.
Gantries boast an impressive weight handling range, starting from a couple of tons for lighter duties, stretching up to several hundred tons for hefty industrial activities.
We offer various types of gantries from portable gantries to motorised gantries. Our bespoke service is available on all of our cranes.
A Portable Gantry is a versatile and mobile solution for lifting and handling materials across various settings. It embodies a combination of convenience and efficiency, offering a solution that can be easily moved to different locations within or between sites, as the job demands. Characterised by its lightweight structure, ease of assembly, and disassembly, a portable gantry provides an excellent choice for sporadic lifting needs.
Its design caters to a broad range of applications, from industrial maintenance to event setup and small-scale manufacturing operations. Moreover, its compact and portable nature does not compromise its lifting capacity, making it a reliable choice for managing a variety of lifting tasks in a cost-effective manner.
Motorised Gantries elevate the standards of efficiency and precision in material handling operations. By integrating motorised mechanisms, these gantries provide streamlined lifting and transportation of heavy loads across industrial environments. Unlike manual or portable gantries, motorised variants offer enhanced control and speed, making them well-suited for high-volume and heavy load applications.
They are indispensable in settings like manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and other sectors requiring a robust and reliable lifting solution. With the capacity to handle substantial loads with precision, motorised gantries contribute significantly towards optimising operational workflows and ensuring a higher degree of safety during material handling processes. Their robust construction and motorised functionality are tailored to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial operations.
Our bespoke service ensures you get the crane specific to your needs. In fact, Granada Cranes are renowned for taking on jobs that other crane companies can’t or won’t tackle.
What are Gantries?
