Structural Design Considerations for Increasing Gantry Crane Capacity

Increasing the capacity of a gantry crane—from 10 tons to 20 tons, 50 tons, 100 tons, or even heavier—requires far more than upgrading the hoist or using stronger wire ropes. Capacity enhancement is an engineering and structural transformation that impacts every part of the crane’s mechanical, structural, and electrical design. Whether upgrading an existing crane … Read more
