Top Gantry Crane Brands: Spanco and Gorbel for Your Lifting Needs.

Gantry cranes are essential for lifting and moving heavy objects in various industries. These cranes feature a horizontal beam supported by two or more legs that run on rails or wheels, allowing them to move along a track or on the ground. Gantry cranes are available in various sizes and weight capacities, making them suitable for various applications, from construction sites to warehouses and factories.

If you're in the market for a gantry  crane, you'll find a wide selection available from top brands like Gorbel and Spanco. Both companies offer high-quality gantry cranes designed for durability and performance.

For example, Gorbel's FGM 1-ton fixed-height steel gantry crane has a 20-foot span and is ideal for use in industrial settings. Its solid construction and high load capacity make it a reliable choice for heavy lifting. If you need a higher-capacity crane, Gorbel also offers the FGM 2-ton fixed-height steel gantry crane with a 15-foot span.

Spanco's A-series 1-ton aluminum adjustable-height and span gantry crane is portable, easy to move and set up. This crane is made from lightweight aluminum and can be adjusted to various heights and spans, making it versatile and convenient for many applications. Spanco also offers the PF-series 2-ton adjustable steel gantry crane and the crane for more extensive lifting needs.

For example, the Sparco E-series 3-ton gantry adjustable-height crane, while the A-series mentioned above is an aluminum gantry crane. The aluminum construction makes the A-series crane lightweight and easy to move around, while the steel construction of the E-series provides a higher weight capacity.

Other types of gantry cranes available include portable gantry cranes, rolling gantry cranes, and telescoping gantry cranes. Portable gantry cranes are designed to be easy to move around and set up quickly while rolling gantry cranes have wheels that allow them to be moved around easily.

Small gantry cranes are suitable for lifting lighter objects, while larger gantry cranes can handle heavier loads.
