Each business needs the most flexible choice of equipment for their operation. For companies that need to move, ship, or store large items such as aircraft engines or assemble and repair equally heavy or oversized items, a 7.5 to 10-ton gantry crane from Protek Crane Solutions is often the right choice for flexibility and durability.
There are several options when it comes to overhead cranes and hoists. Bridge cranes and monorail hoists can serve the same function as a gantry crane, but the essential advantage it has over the other two is that the gantry crane is on wheels, often fitted to a set of rails for smooth operation. This means the entire structure is moveable as a single unit. It allows employees to shift the crane to multiple points within the facility or move it just a few inches to ensure the workload lines up correctly for assembly or to rest on a storage pallet or shelf.
Among Protek’s best models is an all-steel construction series from SPANCO. The 7F1516 models have a fifteen-foot span, weigh only 1879 lbs, and have the following features:
- Weight capacity of 15,000 lbs or 7.5 tons
- A Clear Span of 13 feet 7 inches for handling outsized items
- Floor-to-beam height of 16 feet to lift and efficiently transport large items
- Overall height of 17.5 feet and overall span of 15 feet
- Flange width of 6 inches
- Wheel tread of 6.5 feet
- 12” polyurethane tread casters with Four-Position swivel locks
- ANSI and OSHA-compliant
Together, these features provide superb support on the work floor, keeping employees safe and reducing the risk of product loss during operating hours. The all-steel construction allows for heavy, daily use and ensures that this gantry crane will be a valuable asset to any business for many years.
