Truss type gantry crane custom Lifting Solutions

In outdoor environments such as open storage yards, road and bridge construction sites, and large-scale prefabrication plants, lifting equipment must not only handle heavy loads but also withstand harsh conditions like strong winds, rain, snow, and complex ground foundations. While traditional box-girder gantry cranes offer high rigidity, their heavy weight and large wind resistance lead to higher foundation costs and greater safety risks under strong winds. The Truss Type Gantry Crane replaces solid box girders with a spatial lattice truss main girder, trading structural efficiency for lightweight design, superior wind resistance, and easy relocation—making it the ideal choice for modern outdoor lifting operations.

Core Advantages: Why Choose a Truss Structure?

Lightweight & Cost-Effective: The main girder is welded from steel sections or angle steels into a spatial truss. Utilizing the principle of triangular stability, the load is evenly distributed across each member, with the steel primarily bearing axial tension and compression. For the same span and lifting capacity, a truss main girder can save 30%–40% in steel compared to a traditional box girder, significantly reducing the overall weight. For soft soil foundations or temporary project sites, this means lower foundation construction requirements and greater site adaptability.

Superior Wind Resistance: The open truss structure has a minimal wind-facing area, effectively reducing the impact of wind loads on the crane’s stability. When equipped with rail clamps and wind anchoring devices, it can be safely locked down in winds of Force 6–8, enhancing the safety margin for outdoor operations.

Easy Transportation & Assembly: The regular, hollow truss cross-section allows the girders to be nested and stacked for transport, saving logistics space and freight costs. Combined with a modular design and pin connections, on-site assembly and disassembly are highly efficient. For road and bridge projects requiring frequent relocation or rental businesses, this significantly shortens construction schedules and reduces overall operational costs.

Truss Type Gantry Crane Deep Customization: Matching Real-World Conditions

Flexible Parameter Configuration: Lifting capacities range from 5 to 200 tons, and spans from 12 to 100 meters, with non-standard designs tailored to specific site dimensions. For prefabricated beam yards, cantilever structures can be customized to expand the operational coverage.

Upgraded Drive & Control Systems: Equipped with a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), the crane achieves stepless speed control and micro-adjustments for both hoisting and traveling, ensuring smooth and precise positioning of heavy loads. Multiple control options are supported, including ground pendants, wireless remote controls, and operator cabins.

Environmental Adaptability & Protection: For high humidity, salt spray, or extreme temperature variations, we offer customized anti-corrosion coatings, dustproof and waterproof sealing for electrical cabinets, and high/low-temperature resistant components to ensure low failure rates and long service life in harsh conditions.
