Gantry crane
Universal Hoist Double Girder Gantry Crane
Product Overview
The Universal Hoist Double Girder Gantry Crane by Weiyuan is a robust and versatile lifting solution designed for a wide range of industrial applications. Featuring a general-purpose steel wire rope electric hoist as the primary lifting mechanism, this crane combines durability with stable, reliable performance. The entire system is built with a modular and parametric design, ensuring it is easy to install, operate, and maintain. With flexible configurations for structure, control, and operation, this gantry crane is a widely used and highly adaptable workhorse for both indoor and outdoor material handling.
Product Advantages
Stable and Reliable Performance
Engineered for safety and consistency, this gantry crane uses a proven universal electric hoist that provides durable and dependable lifting. The structure is robust, ensuring smooth and secure movement of loads across its entire operational area.
Versatile Structural Options
The crane can be customized to meet specific application needs. It is available in different structural forms, including full box-type girders for maximum rigidity, lighter truss-type structures for long spans, or a combination. It can also be configured with or without cantilevers (single or double) to extend the working area beyond the rails.
Flexible Control and Operation
Choose from multiple operation modes to suit your facility’s workflow, including ground-based pendant control, cabin operation for a dedicated operator, or remote control for enhanced visibility and safety.
Wide Range of Applications
Its durable construction and adaptable design make it suitable for a vast number of environments, including manufacturing plants, precast concrete yards, freight yards, container terminals, and general outdoor storage areas.
Easy Installation and Maintenance
Thanks to its modular design, the crane is straightforward to assemble and install. Components are standardized for easy access and replacement, simplifying routine maintenance and minimizing downtime.
Intelligent Functionality
The crane can be equipped with a suite of Weiyuan’s intelligent functions, such as inching movement for precise positioning, electric anti-sway for stable load handling, and wireless expansion capabilities to connect to the Weiyuan Crane Industrial Internet Platform.
Application Scenarios
Outdoor Freight Yards and Storage
Ideal for lifting and moving heavy materials, shipping containers, and bulk goods in outdoor stockyards and logistics hubs where a permanent overhead runway is not feasible.
Manufacturing and Assembly Plants
Used inside large workshops for assembling heavy machinery, moving large components along a production line, or general material handling tasks that require covering a large floor area.
Precast Concrete and Stone Yards
The robust design and high capacity make it perfect for handling heavy concrete slabs, blocks, pipes, and marble or granite blocks in casting yards and stone processing facilities.
Railway and Port Terminals
Efficiently handles loading and unloading of goods from trains and trucks, providing a reliable and powerful lifting solution for intermodal transport hubs.

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between a box-type and a truss-type gantry crane?
A: A box-type girder is made of solid steel plates, offering high rigidity and strength, making it ideal for heavy loads and harsh environments. A truss-type girder uses a lattice structure, which is lighter and more cost-effective for very long spans and is better suited for windy outdoor conditions as it has less wind resistance.
Q: Can this gantry crane be used indoors?
A: Yes. While gantry cranes are common for outdoor use, they are also an excellent solution for large indoor facilities where installing overhead runway beams on the building structure is not practical or desired.
Q: What does the A4 work level mean?
A: The A4 work level (equivalent to M4 in ISO standards) indicates that the crane is designed for light to medium service. It is suitable for applications with moderate load spectrums and a moderate number of operating cycles, typical of general manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance work.
Q: What are the benefits of adding a cantilever?
A: A cantilever is an extension of the main girder that projects beyond the support legs. This allows the hoist to operate outside the span of the crane’s rails, effectively extending the working area and making it easier to load and unload materials from the side.
Q: Is it possible to upgrade the crane with smart features later?
A: Yes, the modular design allows for future upgrades. Weiyuan’s intelligent functions, such as anti-sway control or remote monitoring through our Crane Industrial Internet Platform, can often be retrofitted to an existing crane to enhance its performance and safety.
