Gantry Cranes

Gantry cranes are a type of crane built atop a gantry, which is a

structure used to straddle an object or workspace. They also called

portal cranes, the "portal" being the empty space straddled by the

gantry. The terms gantry crane and overhead crane often used

interchangeably, as both types of crane straddle their workload.

Gantry cranes in the form of container cranes are prominent

features of most container terminals, used to load intermodal

containers on and off container ships. Gantry cranes can range

from enormous "full" gantry cranes, capable of lifting some of the

heaviest loads in the world, to small shop cranes, used for tasks

such as lifting automobile engines out of vehicles.
