Aluminum gantry cranes are lightweight, portable, and extremely stable under load, making them a popular material handling solution among companies, contractors, and maintenance applications. These systems are designed for mobility; one worker can assemble and dissemble a 3-ton aluminum gantry crane in less than three minutes.
For companies who travel from one job site to another, the aluminum gantry crane is an essential piece of lift equipment that improves productivity, safety, and efficiency. A central A/C unit is heavy enough to require a crane to lift it up to a roof or other mechanical aid to place it next to a house. These units are not something several men can pick up and move around easily. But, with the help of an aluminum gantry crane, workers can lift up to 3 tons quickly and safely, and move them wherever they need to go.
Pneumatic tires ensure easy transport under load, and are perfect for soft roofs. Just one or two workers can move the disassembled crane up stairways, onto roofs, or in other challenging locations. Once on location, the gantry crane is easily assembled, ready to lift, and able to precisely position heavy objects, such as bulky units.
Aluminum gantry cranes are also ideal for workers who maintain and repair units. Considering that most compressors can weigh anywhere from 250 to 1500 pounds, allowing workers to lift these components is risky and inefficient. Aluminum Gantry Cranes are extremely precise, adjustable for tight spaces, and tough enough to lift and transport very heavy loads. Because they are corrosion resistant, aluminum gantries are also ideal for refrigerated areas, clean rooms, and other controlled environments. These systems fit easily on service trucks, making them the perfect supplemental lift system to transport from one job site to another. Incorporating an aluminum gantry crane into your installation/maintenance routine is a highly efficient, cost-effective way to improve worker safety, increase productivity, and save time and valuable resources. For our friends in the industry, there’s really no reason not to use one.
