Gate cranes are made in two types of single bridge and double bridge. These cranes are used in warehouses or open sites. The gantry crane steps are placed on vertical pedestals and moving the pedestals on the rails installed on the ground provides longitudinal movement of the crane. There is no limit to the capacity and width of the opening in these cranes. Power supply to these cranes is usually provided by spring or motor retractor cables and the power cable is placed next to the bases on the ground along the travel path. The bridges of this crane can be made taller than the distance of its openings, in which case the crane can load from the middle of the beam outside the opening. These cranes are also called consular gates.
This type of crane can be used in various industries. A variety of gate cranes can be used to move materials, lift heavy objects and materials, move heavy machinery, construction work, and so on.
Gate cranes are divided into three categories: 1. Single bridge gate crane / 2. Double bridge gate crane / 3. Half gate crane
Single bridge gate crane is one of the types of gate cranes that has various applications. This type of crane is made with a bridge and its bridge is installed on two movable bases. The opening of the single-bridge gate crane supports up to about 40 meters and can carry loads of up to 15 tons. It should be noted that the cost of this type of gate crane is less than two-bridge gate crane because it is lighter and has many applications in light industry.
Two-bridge gate crane: Commonly used outside warehouses for lifting and loading items. Gate cranes consist of two bridges consisting of a bridge, two support legs, a trolley, electrical equipment and a lifting winch. The frame corresponds to the box-shaped welding mechanism. All mechanisms are controlled from the driver's cab. Power supply is done by cable or sliding wire. The capacity of double beams varies according to the user used.
A half-gate crane is a single-base crane that is ideal for providing material handling solutions in facilities that are problematic due to the presence of machinery, short distances or limited spaces. The advantage of a half-gate crane is that it can be installed under existing overhead cranes that already exist. This gives a fairly wide coverage of the floor surface. The crane maximizes the use of your space.
