• Full Gantry Crane -The full gantry crane is the most common gantry lifting equipment, with both sides mounted on rails and capacities ranging from 5 to more than 500 tons. For workshop uses, the full gantry crane is usually designed without cantilever.
• Semi-gantry crane for warehouse uses - The semi-gantry crane is optimal material handling cranes for workshops with limited facility space. It can travel on a wall-mounted rail with the other side supported by two legs using facility structure.
• Single girder & double girder gantry crane - Single girder & double girder cranes are classified based on the numbers of main crane girders. Single girder gantry cranes are designed for lighter loads handling compared with that of double girder gantry types. They are one of the most frequently used material handling cranes with the overhead cranes. With various designs, they are commonly used for material handling in mechanical processing workshops, machinery or structure assembly yards, warehouses, and so on. The special lower beam reducer can increase the working space inside the crane.
• Mobile and portable gantry cranes are commonly used in workshops to lift and transport small objects. They are much more adaptable than other overhead gantry crane lifting solutions because they can be outfitted with adjustable height and span designs to easily pass through doors or other obstructions. The portable gantry crane usually has smaller lifting capacity, and also costs less than other lifting systems.

Concrete Build Workshops

Simple workshop

Standard factory buildings

Reinforced concrete structure of standard factory building

• Simple workshop: A workshop that has a relatively simple structure, a low construction cost, and a relatively short service life.
• Standard factory workshop : Buildings are classified into four types based on their structure: brick-wood structure, brick-concrete structure, reinforced concrete structure, and steel structure.
• Standard factory shop with reinforced concrete structure: the main load-bearing components, including beams, slabs, and columns, are all reinforced concrete structures. This structure is commonly found in large public buildings, industrial structures, and high-rise residential buildings.

Steel structure workshop: refers to the fact that the main load-bearing components are made of steel. Steel pillars, steel beams, steel structure foundations, steel roof trusses (of course, the span of the factory building is relatively large, and it is now essentially steel structure roof trusses), steel roof, steel structure walls can also be maintained by brick walls. Many steel structure workshops have begun to be adopted in my country as steel production has increased. It is further subdivided into light and heavy steel structure workshops. Steel structures are industrial and civil construction facilities made of steel.

The following are the characteristics of the steel structure workshop:

• The steel structure is light in weight, strong, and spans a wide range of sizes.
• Steel structure buildings have a short construction period, which reduces investment costs.
• The steel structure is highly resistant to fire and corrosion.
• The steel structure building is portable, and recycling is non-polluting.

Single-storey workshop factory building

Multi-storey factory workshop

Warehouse workshop

• Single-story factory workshop: It has the advantages of forming a tall use space, easily meeting the requirements of the production process flow, convenient internal transportation organization, being conducive to the placement of heavier production equipment and products, and realizing the industrialization of factory building components and on-site construction mechanization. As a result, single-story workshops are commonly used in industrial buildings such as metallurgy, machinery manufacturing, motor manufacturing, chemical manufacturing, and textile manufacturing.
• Multi-story factory workshop : The factory structure should be chosen first based on the requirements of the manufacturing process and the number of floors. Second, the supply of building materials, local construction and installation conditions, structural part production capacity, and natural conditions of the base should all be taken into account.
• Warehouse workshop: it belongs to "industrial storage land". Industrial storage land includes land used for dedicated railways, wharfs, and roads, as well as land used for production workshops, warehouses, and ancillary facilities of industrial and mining enterprises. The land should be classified as water and other land, excluding open-pit mine land. It is not as simple as industrial land + storage land. General storage land and logistics development land are two types of storage land.

Workshop Gantry Crane Design f or Your Use

The gantry crane is available in a variety of styles. The gantry crane is made up of a single or double girder, supporting legs, an electric hoist or trolley, a crane running mechanism, and an electrical system.

• Metal construction- The box structure is commonly used for gantry crane metal structures. Its main beam can be designed with outreach to form a cantilever on one or both sides, thereby increasing the lifting space. You can also opt for a gantry crane without a cantilever.
• Lifting Devices of various types - The gantry crane will be outfitted with various lifting devices, such as a hook, grab, magnetic chuck, and other specialized devices, depending on the practical application. Hoists, motors, and other key components are also available in a variety of configurations.
• Crane Control system - The gantry crane's control system is typically operated from the cab room or from the ground via pendant control or wireless remote control. The control system can be designed to meet the needs of the actual operation. The working temperature for workshop gantry crane operation is typically between -20°C and +40°C.
