Gantry systems span a working area between supporting legs. Select the clear span, working height and support arrangement against the load path and site constraints.
Define the configuration
Selection item | What to provide |
|---|---|
Working span | Required clear width and positions of the legs relative to the equipment/workpiece. |
Height | Usable hook position after allowing for the beam, trolley, hoist and lifting tool. |
Load | Workpiece plus the applicable suspended equipment. |
Mobility | Whether relocation or movement is actually specified, and under which conditions. |
Check the installation boundary
A gantry is not automatically mobile under load. Wheel presence or a product-family name is insufficient evidence; use the permitted movement in the exact equipment instructions.
Move from a layout to equipment
Prepare a workstation drawing and the required load/movement information. Review the actual model specifications and identify included hoist, controls and attachments before requesting the final installation and quotation scope.

Further questions for your purchasing review
What affects the total cost of a gantry lifting station?
Capacity, span, height, slewing or travel, lifting equipment, structural work and installation affect the total cost.
Draw the usable gantry working area
The useful opening is the clear space between the legs with the hoist, trolley and load in position. Overall frame width is not usable travel.
Layout item | What to mark |
|---|---|
Clear span | Mark the pickup and placement points between the legs. |
Under-beam clearance | Include hoist/trolley depth, hook, gripper and workpiece. |
Relocation | State whether the empty structure must move and the route; loaded travel needs explicit equipment approval. |
Site interfaces | Check floor/support, doors, services and interference at each intended location. |
