Semi gantry crane, as the name suggests, is a deformation of the traditional gantry crane, and it is a kind of lifting machinery equipment between bridge crane and gantry crane.

The semi goliath crane has only one outrigger. One end of the crane is mounted on the crane beam of the factory building like a bridge crane. Its lifting mechanism, trolley operating mechanism and bridge structure are basically the same as those of the bridge crane; while the other end has outriggers. One end usually runs along a track laid on the ground.

 

The semi portal crane can make full use of the columns and corbels of the factory building, saving production space; secondly, the semi portal crane can also be used in conjunction with the bridge crane in the same workshop, more effectively improving the utilization rate of the factory space and work Efficiency, therefore semi goliath cranes are often used in modern industrial plants.

 

Therefore, if you only need a lifting solution that covers part of the house, the semi gantry crane is a good choice.

Because traditional bridge cranes often span the entire width of the factory building, they are not only prone to waste of resources, but the actual results may not meet the needs; choosing a semi gantry crane not only allows the user to better achieve their goals , it can also reduce costs to a certain extent.

 

After all, semi gantry cranes require fewer support columns to be erected compared to overhead cranes or gantry cranes.

 

However, since the legs on one side run along the ground track, when installing the semi gantry crane, the user needs to ensure that there is enough ground space to lay its running track, and also keep the running area clean. , to ensure that the lifting equipment can operate safely and smoothly in the later period.
