Gantry Crane Development

Gantry crane is a widely used engineering lifting equipment, but in conventional design method, there are some unreasonable component, those affect quality and performance of equipment, also increase environment investment. In recent years, the engineering gantry crane has many development, the trend mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Widely used hydraulic technology
Hydraulic transmission is with small size, light weight, compact structure, variable speed, operation easily, smooth and safety advantages.

2. General-purpose gantry crane apply small and medium type, special gantry cranes more and more use large power duty
In order to improve the degree of mechanization of handling and installation work, the development of construction cranes still is based on light, flexible small and medium sized crane.

3. More and more apply international standards: standardization, serialization, universal

4. Develop multi-purpose product
In order to give full play to the role of construction cranes, expand its usage, some countries pay attention on the product's versatility in crane design.

5. New technologies, new materials, new structures, new technology
In order to reduce weight of the crane, improve crane performance, make sure reliable operation, most crane now adopt new technologies, new materials, new structures and new technology.
