Gantry cranes

What is a gantry crane?

A gantry crane is industrial lifting equipment designed to move heavy loads. It consists of two vertical legs (full gantry crane) or a single vertical leg (semi-gantry crane) and a horizontal beam. This structure enables the hoist to move along the crossbeam to lift and transport loads. It usually runs on rails fixed to the ground.

 

What are the types of gantry cranes?

Industrial gantry cranes include full gantry cranes and semi-gantry cranes. There are also similar devices, such as port cranes for loading and unloading ships, and rubber-tired gantry cranes, also widely used in ports. For occasional or temporary work, there are portable or adjustable gantry cranes.

These have the same functionality as overhead cranes, but are configured with two legs. The rails are located at ground level, usually fixed to a concrete slab, concrete foundation or specially designed steel girders.

Frequently asked questions

01.
Do you offer training services for overhead crane operators?
No, for now, Groupe Industriel Premium does not offer training for overhead crane operators. However, they recommend a partner company, SP Services-Conseils Prévention, for their expertise in this field. To learn more about training requirements, you can check out the article here: Is overhead crane operator training mandatory?
02.
Do you need an RBQ license to install an overhead crane in Quebec?
Generally, an RBQ license is not required to install an overhead crane in Quebec, as it is considered production machinery rather than a construction project. However, if the installation involves structural modifications, such as welding or reinforcing the building structure, an RBQ license may be required. For more details, you can read our full article here: Do you need an RBQ license to install an overhead crane in Quebec?
03.
When is it best to install an overhead crane in a new building?
On most construction sites, it is recommended to proceed with the installation of the overhead crane once the building is enclosed, the floor is completed, and electricity is available. This allows the installation to be done in a single mobilization, which is more efficient and reduces costs. However, it is necessary to ensure that a clear area on the floor is available to allow for the safe maneuvering of the overhead crane during installation.
