Gantry cranes run on ground rails instead of building runways — which means the quote depends on a few specs an overhead crane inquiry doesn't have: cantilevers, travel distance and the rails themselves. Send the nine items below and our engineers return a configuration and budget price within 24 hours.

The 9 specifications, at a glance

Three gantry-specific decisions worth thinking through

Cantilever or not?

A cantilever extends the girder past the legs so trucks can be loaded outside the rail track. If trucks, trailers or storage sit beside your runway, specify it now — the girder and legs are engineered around it.

Who supplies the rails?

Ground rails, fixings and end stops can ship with the crane or be sourced locally. Tell us the travel distance and whether you want rails included; either way we send the wheel loads your foundation designer needs.

Full gantry, semi-gantry or rubber tyred?

If one side of your bay already has a runway or wall, a semi-gantry crane can save serious money. If you need to move between yards without rails, look at rubber tyred gantry cranes. Still weighing up which type and size? Work through how to choose a gantry crane first — this guide is the next step. And if you're not sure what a gantry crane even is, start with what is a gantry crane.
