Overview of shipyard gantry cranes

The shipyard gantry crane can be designed into single girder gantry crane and double girder gantry crane.

The shipyard gantry cranes are mainly made up of steel gantry frame, upper trolley, lower trolley, trolley travelling mechanism, maintenance, lubrication, elevator, and electric equipment, etc. The shipyard gantry crane also has a rail clamp device (or wheel actuator), an anchor device, a lifting weight limiter system, a wind speed and direction system, a limit switch for each mechanism, and other safety protection devices.

The size and completeness of the blocks that make up the hull are two of the most important variables in a shipyard's productivity. When a large hull block needs to be lifted, one shipbuilding gantry crane is required.

Functions of shipbuilding gantry crane

A shipyard gantry crane is a highly efficient lifting solution designed to increase dockyard productivity. It is capable of lifting and moving large blocks of hull during the construction or repair of a ship. Gantry cranes in shipyards are classified into two types: single girder and double girder. It can be divided into two types of running mechanisms: rail mounted and rubber tyred. Superior quality, high rigidity, excellent safety, and great flexibility are all advantages of the shipbuilding gantry crane.

The size and completeness of the blocks that make up the hull are one of the most crucial factors in a shipyard's productivity. The shipbuilding gantry crane will take over when a large hull block needs to be lifted.

Types of gantry cranes for shipbuilding and shipyard

To accommodate various lifting needs of clients, we offer a wide range of shipyard gantry cranes. Here, we strongly advise using two of the most common used gantry crane in shipyards.

Rail mounted gantry crane

In shipyards, rail mounted gantry cranes are the most typical lifting equipment. The rail-mounted shipyard gantry crane can move a variety of items and loads along crane tracks set into the ground. The work space of the gantry crane can be significantly increased by building the gantry lifting equipment with outreach at both ends of the main beam to create cantilevers.

In order to protect the operators, rail mounted gantry cranes for shipyards typically use cab or remote control operation. The rail mounted shipyard gantry crane has the features of broad adaptability, high utilization, high production, and long-lasting performance.

Rubber tyred gantry crane

The rubber tired gantry crane is the perfect lifting solution to increase your shipyards' flexibility and mobility. This kind of shipyard gantry crane is mounted on rubber tires which can travel freely anywhere within the working areas rather than operating on rails. The shipyard mobile gantry crane can lift in a range of capacities to accommodate the majority of customer requirements.

The portable shipyard gantry crane is a popular choice for many crane users because to its convenient portability, extensive lifting capacity, adaptable mobility, and straightforward operation.

Shipbuilding gantry cranes for sale, custom gantry cranes are available.

Advantages of shipbuilding gantry crane:

Large shipbuilding gantry cranes have clear advantages over conventional gantry cranes when it comes to installing and moving hull parts. It crosses the berth (dock) and can offer dockside assembly services. It can turn the hull and adjust the fragment to the welding position required by the ship in addition to performing lifting and horizontal transportation duties.

In order to guarantee the quality of the machinery, our shipyard's gantry crane uses an optimum design and construction method. It offers crane operators a variety of advantages as an effective lifting instrument.

Lightweight and rigidly robust

The distinctive metal structure's welded girder construction results in a lighter structure with more rigidity. Additionally, it features low wheel pressure.

Maximum safety

The risk of major and even fatal accidents is significantly reduced because the shipyard gantry crane is often operated by an operator from the control station. Additionally, several trustworthy safety tools like windproof tools are available to stop high winds or storms.

Stable and long-lasting performance

The efficient and rational structure contributes to the equipment's longer working life. All of the gantry crane's components and parts are purchased from reliable vendors and have excellent interchangeability. Additionally, there are safety precautions measures like anti-swaying devices that can be used to guarantee a steady and trustworthy movement. The gantry crane in the shipyard likewise needs little maintenance.

Simple and practical operation

The equipment typically operates quietly. A wide field of vision and precise operation are provided by the roomy cab design.

High use of available space

They can maximize working spaces and achieve wide coverage for both rubber-tired and rail-mounted gantry cranes. The shipyard gantry crane can be used in a variety of workplaces.

Features of Shipbuilding Gantry Crane:

It can do a variety of tasks, including single hanging, hoisting, turning, and small horizontal turning in the air;
There are two types of gantries: single-girder and double-girder gantry cranes. The girder utilizes the ideal variable section design to rationally utilize materials;
The stiff gantry legs can be ordered with either a single column or a double column design.
The upper and lower trolleys can operate independently of one another;
All lifting and traveling mechanisms use frequency conversion speed regulation;
A jib crane for maintenance of the upper and lower trolley is installed on the top of the girder at the side of the rigid leg.
In order to fend off storm attacks, rail clamp and ground anchor are installed.

Double girder gantry crane for shipbuilding, your shipyard gantry crane

Safe operation of shipbuilding gantry cranes

In order to avoid accidents, the safety issues during shipyard crane operation must be addressed. The crane driver operating the shipyard gantry crane often sits in the cab room, thus the crane operators must undergo thorough training on heavy duty crane knowledge and the specific equipment they will be working with. Additionally, a coworker from the ground is typically needed to help the driver in operating the gantry crane due to the limited view from the cab area. The crane cabin we created has a comfortable feature that gives operators ease of use and clear view.

Due to the size and capacity of shipyard cranes, we have worked very hard to assure their safety in all areas, including design, manufacturing, delivery, installation, and maintenance. In addition, crane users should focus more on safety concerns to avoid human error and component failure. For instance, operators must closely adhere to all operational guidelines, and in the event that a component fails, prompt repair or replacement must be carried out. We sincerely hope that everyone involved in the crane operation is secure. Consult our engineers online to learn more about safety-related issues right now.
