TYPICAL DESIGN OF LIGHT MANUAL GANTRY CRANES

Gantry manual crane consists of two vertical supports with braces, between which a horizontal beam is fixed. The main bearing elements may have a different configuration. For racks, tubular or box-shaped structures are mainly used, often of a telescopic type. An I-beam or a pipe of round or rectangular section is installed as a bearing bridge.

The choice of the profile of the supporting structures depends on the lifting capacity of the mobile crane and the scope of its use. It also depends on the type of lifting device used.

Manual mobile cranes are very easy to install by a team of 2-3 people within 30-45 minutes with little or no use of special complex tools. They consist of 8 - 10 separate parts, which are easily joined and secured with clips, bolts or special locks.

OPERATION OF MANUAL MOBILE GANTRY CRANES

Gantry cranes with a manual hoist are used to lift loads up to 200-300 kg, but when using a mechanical chain hoist with a manual drive or a winch -. They are used in car services, warehouses with a limited area, hard-to-reach places where heavy lifting equipment cannot reach.

A light portal crane is a mobile structure, in most cases it is equipped with a chain or cable type hoist with a lifting capacity of up to 5 tons and a load lifting height of up to 5 meters. The width of the span of the carrier beam can reach 7 meters. Some powerful models of mobile cranes have the function of moving the lifting carriage along the carrier beam. Movement is carried out by means of electric motors or manually
