SKS full gantry cranes
Gantry cranes are designed to lift items of various dimensions and weights. They are typically installed in river and industrial ports and used to lift bulk and oversized cargo between ship and shore. These cranes are frequently used at shipyards, where particularly high standards of accuracy are required.
Depending on the nature of the lifting task, these cranes can come in various sizes and can handle medium to heavy loads. The main purpose of a gantry crane is to ensure smooth operation and reduced downtime in ports and shipyards.
Our engineers tailor gantry crane solutions entirely to each customer’s individual needs. The user-friendly control system on our lifting equipment helps prevent placement errors and reduces handling time.

Fact Box
Gantry cranes lift everything within the range:
63 kg and up to 100.000 kg
The function of a gantry crane is very similar to that of an overhead crane. However, while overhead cranes run on tracks mounted under the ceiling, gantry cranes move along rails on the floor. A gantry crane is particularly practical when the area needing crane coverage is long and narrow, or when ceiling-mounted columns become obstructive when the crane is not in use. In certain cases, gantry cranes can also be used beneath larger overhead systems.
SKS Kraner offers expert advice, delivery, and installation of customized gantry cranes designed to meet your specific lifting needs and usage frequency.
