What Is a Gantry Crane?
A gantry crane is a freestanding frame with an I-beam across the top. Hang a hoist and trolley from the beam and you can lift engines, transmissions, dies and machinery anywhere you can roll the crane, with no ceiling beams or floor anchors.
A portable gantry crane on casters is the most flexible lifting setup for a garage or small shop: lift an engine out, roll it to the stand, then push the crane against the wall when you are done. Steel gantries carry the most weight for the money, while aluminum gantry cranes are light enough for one or two people to move and set up, and they do not rust.
Choose a fixed height crane when you always lift at the same height, or an adjustable gantry crane to fit under garage doors and low ceilings. Not sure? Call (470) 208-2754.
How to Choose a Gantry Crane
Capacity
Pick a crane rated above your heaviest lift, including the hoist and rigging. Ours range from 1,000 to 10,000 lb.
Height
Measure your ceiling and door openings. Adjustable cranes lower to fit, and under-beam height sets how high you can lift.
Beam Length
The beam (span) sets the working width: 8 to 20 ft. Wider spans straddle vehicles and benches.
Steel or Aluminum
Steel is the most economical for heavy loads. Aluminum is lighter, easier to move and corrosion resistant.

Can a gantry crane lift an engine?
Yes. A 2,000 lb gantry with a matching hoist handles most car and light truck engines, and the open frame lets you roll the crane over the vehicle and then over the engine stand.
How tall should my gantry crane be?
Check your ceiling, door openings and the lift you need. Under-beam height minus the hoist and rigging height is roughly how high you can lift. Adjustable models lower to fit under doors.
Is a hoist included?
No. Gantry cranes are sold without a hoist or trolley so you can match them to your load. Call us and we will help size one.
Steel or aluminum gantry crane?
Steel costs less for the same capacity and suits a fixed work area. Aluminum weighs much less, so it is easier to move, set up and store, and it will not rust.
Can I move a gantry crane with a load on it?
Most gantries are designed to be positioned unloaded, then locked before lifting. Follow the owner's manual for your model.
How do gantry cranes ship?
They ship LTL freight, usually knocked down in several pieces for assembly on site. Freight is shown as a delivery option on each product page.
