Our patented telescoping beam system allows single-operator adjustment in minutes. Secure locking pins engage at 6-inch (150mm) intervals, ensuring rigid load support at any span width. No specialized tools required – extend, lock, and lift.

Telescoping Gantry Crane Key Features & Benefits

• 1. Adjustable Span (Telescoping Beams):

  • Core Innovation: The defining feature – one or both horizontal beams telescope smoothly within themselves.
  • Space Optimization: Easily adjust the crane’s width (span) to match aisle widths, maneuver around obstacles, or store compactly when not in use. Significantly reduces the crane’s footprint.
  • Work Area Versatility: Handle loads in areas with varying widths without needing a permanent wide-span installation. Adapts to different work cells or projects.

• 2. Robust Construction:

  • Heavy-Duty Steel: Fabricated from high-grade steel (A36 or equivalent) for exceptional strength, rigidity, and long-term durability under demanding loads.
  • Precision Engineering: Components are precision-machined and welded to ensure smooth operation, alignment, and structural integrity.

• 3. Smooth Mobility:

  • Locking Casters: Equipped with industrial-grade, swiveling casters (often polyurethane or nylon) featuring positive locking mechanisms on all legs. Enables effortless positioning and secure stabilization during lifting operations.
  • Variants: Available in fixed-height or adjustable-height (telescoping legs) configurations for maximum adaptability to ceiling heights and load profiles.

• 4. High Lifting Capacity:

  • Wide Range: Capacities typically range from 1 Ton (2,000 lbs) up to 10 Tons (20,000 lbs) or more, catering to diverse industrial needs.
  • Safety Factor: Designed with a significant safety factor exceeding industry standards (e.g., CMAA, OSHA) for reliable and secure operation.

• 5. Compatible with Various Hoists:

  • Universal Design: Flanged beam profile designed to seamlessly integrate with manual chain hoists, lever hoists, or electric wire rope/chain hoists (purchased separately).
  • Trolley Options: Includes a robust trolley (manual push or geared) that runs smoothly along the telescoping beam(s).

• 6. Easy & Safe Operation:

  • Simple Adjustment: Telescoping beams typically feature a straightforward pin-and-hole or bolted locking system for quick and secure span changes.
  • Integrated Safety: Includes essential features like end stops on beams, caster locks, and clearly marked load capacity labels. (Optional overload protection available).

• 7. Reduced Installation Cost & Time:

  • Portable Design: Requires no permanent foundations, complex runway beams, or significant building modifications. Simply position and lock the casters.
  • Quick Setup: Ready for use almost immediately after delivery and assembly.

Technical Specifications (Typical Range – Specifics Vary by Model)

Optional Accessories:

• 1. Electric Chain or Wire Rope Hoists

• 2. Geared Trolleys

• 3. Festooning Systems (for electric hoists)

• 4. Outrigger Kits (for enhanced stability on uneven surfaces)

• 5. Load Limiters / Overload Protection

• 6. Galvanized Finish (for corrosive environments)

Stability Engineering:

• 1. Wide-Leg Stance: Optimized base geometry prevents tipping, even at maximum span.
• 2. Dual-Locking Casters: Swivel locks + wheel brakes provide 360° stability.
• 3. Ground Clearance: 3–4″ (75–100mm) clearance under legs for seamless movement over cables or uneven floors.

Safety Compliance:

• 1. ASME B30.2 & OSHA Certified: All cranes include a load test certificate.
• 2. Fail-Safes: Automatic beam end stops, anti-slip treads, and CE/EN 14985 compliance (optional).
• 3. Clear Visibility: Yellow safety striping and laser-etched capacity labels (span vs. load charts) on every beam.

Telescoping Gantry Crane Applications

• 1. Workshops & Garages: Lifting engines, machinery, fabrications.

• 2. Warehouses & Distribution Centers: Handling pallets, equipment, heavy goods in aisles or open areas.

• 3. Construction Sites: Positioning materials, equipment, prefabricated elements.

• 4. Maintenance & Repair Bays: Servicing large vehicles, industrial equipment.

• 5. Manufacturing: Moving work-in-progress between stations, loading/unloading machines.

• 6. Shipping/Receiving Docks: Unloading trucks or containers where space is constrained.

• 7. Events & Staging: Rigging and positioning heavy equipment or stage elements.
