Aluminium Lifting Gantry Crane

Quick Ref: CN-512
Mobile, portable, lightweight and adjustable aluminium lifting gantry systems with beams available up to 9 metres, working heights up to 5.8 metres and lifting capacity options up to 5 tonne.

An aluminium A-frame lifting gantry is a lightweight and portable lifting solution that can be very easily be transported, erected, disassembled and stored which makes an aluminium gantry a very versatile and often essential piece of kit where a temporary lifting means is required. All of the alloy lifting gantry cranes that we offer are height adjustable and some width adjustable. The key features are the lightweight design combined with a modular construction which allows the gantry to easily be assembled and disassembled in difficult to access and/or remote locations.

We offer a massive range in our online catalogue, from many top quality manufacturers, meaning that there is usually a standard aluminium gantry that will suit your application.

There are many different height and width options on offer and with capacities up to 5 tonne (5000kg) and beams spans up to 9 metres, there will likely be an aluminium gantry perfect for your lifting operation(s).

We also offer lightweight aluminium lifting gantries complete with castors/wheels, some being suitable only for moving the gantry without the load applied and others are potentially movable under load, subject to an adequate risk assessment and method statement being drawn up and followed, because there are many factors to take into account before the employer / user decides to move a gantry under load (with the load applied to the lifting beam).

Aluminium Lifting Gantry Systems with Castors (Potentially Movable Under Load)

All of our Aluminium Gantry cranes are of a modular design (knock-down) and therefore a very portable piece of lifting equipment. All of these gantry cranes are fully height adjustable and some are width adjustable with may optional extras available request such as pressure wheel kits (under load the standard feet would bear the weight and the castors would retract under pressure), electric hoists, wall brackets (for instances where it is not possible to position an a-frame, the wall bracket can become ideal) or manual winches to aid with height adjustment of the gantry.

We offer many different designs though the ones in this category are supplied without castors. Castors are not suitable for some gantry designs and therefore may be unsuitable for some applications from a safety point of view. All gantry system designs can be modified to customers requirements or dimensions and so please contact us if you do not see a gantry that meets your needs.

Mobile Aluminium Gantry Systems without Castors

Lightweight and portable aluminium ‘A’ Frame lifting gantry cranes that are supplied complete with split, 2-part top beam. The horizontal overhead lifting beam splits into two pieces so that is can easily be transported between locations; this makes moving or storing the gantry on site much easier, though more importantly the top beam can then be short enough to fit into a van for transportation between jobs. All are height and width adjustable and we can supply special design systems to meet our customer’s needs or specifications.

Lifting Gantry Accessories

All of our aluminium lifting gantry systems can be supplied with lifting equipment; chain blocks, electric hoists, beam trolleys (generally trolleys are specific to a particular brand because of box section aluminium used in the design and manufacture of the gantry), power supply systems, slings and shackles as required, but these are generally sold separately. We can design and supply a bespoke alloy lifting gantry to meet your specific requirements or specifications, so please feel free to contact us if you are looking for a gantry that is a little bit special or bespoke and we will do our best to assist.

Standard Aluminium Gantry Kits

Every aluminium gantry kit is supplied with 2 x aluminium A-frame leg sections, a top beam (this may be made up of parallel twin top beams, or the traditional single beam and in 1-piece or 2-pieces for additional versatility, transport or storage) and a trolley (variants on trolleys also being optional). Additionally, optional features and accessories are on offer such as wall brackets, geared travel trolleys, locking trolleys, pressure wheel kits (allowing a gantry to be moved on wheels/castors, but only when not under load), or even modified narrow aisle legs for those instances where space is very tight, such as escalator work, where the traditional gantry a-frame simply will not fit.
