Capacity Range
• 0.5Ton to 20 Ton

Description

• Available as Base Plate Mounted, insert Mounted, and Sleeve Insert Mounted
• All three types of the Free Standing series use a similar mast pipe, head assembly, and I-beam boom
• Difference in the models is found in the mounting arrangement
• Provide for 360° of continuous rotation
• All models have a round mast pipe that remains stationary throughout rotation

• Easy to install
• Perform a multitude of functions within a work area
• Cantilever type boom allows maximum hoist lift
• Available with motor operated boom (motorized rotation)

Move hard to handle cartons and machinery. Lift them up, over, around and about the work or storage area. Get the pinpoint placement, accuracy, speed and load control required in aircraft, automotive, and marine repair applications, as well as the ruggedness to function in loading areas, warehouses, and machine shops. Contrx gantry cranes are available in fixed and telescoping standard designs, with capacities from 1 to 20 ton. Custom and motorized travel designs are also available on request. Motorized designs for large capacities only. Goliath / Gantry Cranes are self propelled cranes running on rails installed at ground level. The above image shows two such cranes working in tandem. Such cranes are used at -

• Construction sites
• Ports and harbors
• Workshops where existing columns cannot bear the wheel loads of a bridge crane
• Workshops with low roof tie height that might restrict the height of lift of a regular bridge crane
• Locations where bay lengths are excessive
• Locations where bay lengths do not remain constant
• Sites / projects where crane itself needs to be relocated from one place to another
• Locations where loads are to be shifted from points outside the crane span as in the case of an overhang on either side of the rails

In workshops where part utilization of shop bay is required (as in a tool room attached to a press shop), a Semi-Goliath/ Gantry Crane is used. In such a configuration one end-carriage of the crane will travel on the regular gantry rail while the opposite end-carriage will travel on a rail mounted typically on the ground or at a lower elevation.

A Goliath/ Gantry Crane is typically more expensive than an equivalent EOT Bridge Crane. However in almost all the relevant cases as mentioned above, a cost analysis shows that it is cheaper to go in for a Goliath / Gantry Crane as against a Bridge Crane. The cost analysis can be done by taking into consideration the following -

• Cost of Gantry Girders that are required in case of a Bridge Crane
• Cost of Columns required for supporting the above Gantry Girders
• Difference in costs of civil foundation for columns (for Bridge Cranes) versus civil foundation for gantry rails (in Goliath / Gantry Cranes)
• Difference in Down Shop Leads cost of Bridge Crane versus Cable Reeling Drum and Cable Cost for a Goliath / Gantry Crane

Goliath / Gantry Cranes can be either of the Single Girder type or Double Girder type.

Standard Features of Venus Engineers' Goliath / Gantry Cranes -

• Optimum design ensuring minimum Dead Weight, Wheel Loads, Head Rooms and Clearances, reducing building costs.
• Forged runner wheels on Spherical Roller Bearings, resulting in long trouble free service.
• Hobbed and Run- `In Heat Treated Gears machined from High Carbon Steel / Alloy Steels to ensure smooth, silent and durable service.
• Wide range of Heights of Lift, Hoisting, Cross & Long Travel Speeds to suit every operational requirement.
• Amply proportioned Main Girders and Legs of Box section, fabricated from IS 2062 plates that have undergone rigorous quality testing. All butt welds are 100% radiographed. Main Girders and Legs further stiffened with long and short diaphragms.
• End Carriages are made either from rolled sections or fabricated from plates.
• 2 Legs are of flexible design while the opposite 2 Legs are of rigid design. Flexible Legs are joined to the Main Girders through hinged joints.
• All Legs are braced.
• Well proportioned Live Axle Type Runner Wheels on "L" type bearing housings.
• Rope Drum fabricated from seamless pipes (ASTM A-106 Grade B) or from IS 2062 plates. The Rope Drum is stress relieved and the long seams are 100% radiographed.
• Standardized sub-assemblies used for complete range ensures quick supply of spares in case of emergencies or routine maintenance.
