Gantry Cranes
Gantry cranes are a type of crane built atop a gantry, which is a
structure used to straddle an object or workspace. They also called
portal cranes, the "portal" being the empty space straddled by the
gantry. The terms gantry crane and overhead crane often used
interchangeably, as both types of crane straddle their workload.
Gantry cranes in the form of container cranes are prominent
features of most container terminals, used to load intermodal
containers on and off container ships. Gantry cranes can range
from enormous "full" gantry cranes, capable of lifting some of the
heaviest loads in the world, to small shop cranes, used for tasks
such as lifting automobile engines out of vehicles.
