How to Select a Gantry Crane
To help you select a crane that is appropriate for your customer’s specific application — and to determine its price — you’ll need to gather the following information:
- 1) Capacity: The maximum weight of your customer’s applications must never exceed the crane’s capacity, as listed on the crane’s label.
- Design Load = Capacity x 1.4
- Crane’s Design Load = Crane’s Capacity + 15% x Capacity (for hoist and trolley weight) + 25% x Capacity (for impact)
- 2) Height Under Beam: The distance from the floor or lifting surface to the bottom of the beam.
- 3) Overall Crane Height:Under beam height + beam height + festooning (if required).
- 4) Overall Span: Total length of the crane’s I-beam bridge.
- 5) Clear Span: The distance between the inside of the crane’s legs.

Mobile Material Handling
Ace Industries offers fixed and adjustable height steel gantry cranes which provide an economical way to lift materials anywhere in a facility. The wheels enable you to move the gantry around your facility. This is a more cost-effective lifting solution for areas of infrequent lifts than a more expensive permanent structure. Our heavy duty end frame design with square tubing uprights, knee braces and channel base provides stable lifting and movement.

Ace industries has sales representatives located throughout a large portion of the US who can provide material handling solutions suited to your needs and your budget.
