In the industrial sector, cranes are indispensable equipment and they provide important solutions for a wide variety of tasks. Gantry cranes and bridge cranes are two common types of cranes. There are some obvious differences in their design and application. So how do you choose to buy one? The following is an in-depth look at the differences between gantry cranes and bridge cranes, including their structure, application areas, advantages and disadvantages, and more.

 

 

1. Different structures.

 

The overhead bridge crane is usually composed of a main beam, a motor, a truck operating mechanism and a trolley, etc. The main beam spans over the workshop or warehouse to form a material handling channel, and the trolley moves horizontally on the main beam to achieve two-dimensional material handling;

 

A 10 ton gantry crane has a gantry shaped metal structure, usually consisting of a beam, a column and a support beam, which moves between the two columns, the support beam provides additional support and stability, and the trolley moves laterally on the main beam to achieve material handling.

 

2. Different application scenarios.

 

10 ton gantry crane is mainly suitable for outdoor environment, such as ports, railway freight yards, open warehouses, etc., suitable for large span, large lifting height of material handling, such as containers, steel and so on.

 

3. Different performance characteristics.

 

Overhead bridge crane is usually suitable for the need to move in a large range of situations, can meet the needs of general material handling, its main beam and end beam made of high-strength steel, with good bearing performance;

 

4. It works differently.

 

The movement of the beam of the 10 ton gantry crane is controlled by an electric motor or other driving device, which allows it to move in a wide range of horizontal directions. The lifting mechanism is responsible for moving up and down to complete the lifting task of the object.

 

5. Productivity.

 

 

 

10 ton Single Girder Overhead Crane

10 ton overhead crane is composed of the main girder, end girder, electric wire rope hoist and operating mechanism welded by steel plate and I-beam. It is widely used in various factories, storage warehouses, material yards, glass factories, power plants and other occasions to lift goods.

 

 

It is widely used in workshops, warehouses and other material handling occasions in machinery manufacturing, metallurgy, and food, papermaking, building materials, electronics and other industries. It is forbidden to use in flammable and corrosive media environment. The working level is higher than that of traditional overhead cranes, which can reach A5-A6.

 

 

10T Explosion-proof Bridge Crane

The 10T explosion-proof bridge crane is the explosion-proof version of the bridge crane. It is mostly used in machinery manufacturing, assembly, warehouse and other places.

 

 

Metallurgical electric bridge crane applications are generally suitable for ambient temperatures from -10 degree to +50 degree . And the radiation temperature of the molten metal to be lifted and transported to the forging hook and plate hook should not exceed 300 degree . Its working class can reach: A7, A8, used in relatively busy metallurgical foundry workshops.

 

 

 

 

Grab bucket eot crane is a kind of hoisting machinery, which is a kind of machinery for cyclic and intermittent motion. It has automatic weighing and recording functions, the high working level is suitable for the long-term and uninterrupted work of enterprises such as waste incineration power plants.

 

 

 

 

 

Gantry cranes are generally used in conjunction with winch trolley, its metal structure is like a door-shaped frame, and two feet are installed under the bearing main beam. It can walk directly on the track, and the two ends of the main beam can have outstretched cantilever beams. It is mainly used for the loading and unloading of outdoor cargo yards, stockyards and bulk cargoes.
