What Uses Do Gantries Have?
Gantries are overhead cranes used in industrial settings for material handling, manufacturing, assembly, and transportation or storage of goods. They provide a safe and efficient way to move heavy loads and equipment, without the need for manual lifting and carrying. Gantries can be equipped with specialised equipment such as vacuum lifters or magnets to facilitate the safe and precise movement of heavy loads.
What Equipment is Compatible with Our Gantries?
Gantries can be equipped with various attachments, including hoists, vacuum lifters, magnets, and specialised hooks or clamps. The type of attachment used depends on the specific application and the type of load being moved. For example, vacuum lifters can be used to handle large sheets of glass or other delicate materials, while magnets are useful for moving ferrous materials.
Overall, gantries are a versatile tool in industrial settings, providing a safe and efficient way to move heavy loads and equipment. By using specialised attachments, they can be customised for specific applications and types of loads, making them a valuable asset for any manufacturing or production facility.
