Cantilevered gantry crane

From YourAssociationWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

A cantilevered gantry crane is a single or double legged gantry crane designed so that the bridge girder extends over the leg or legs so as to form a cantilevered configuration. Such a design increases the loading surface of the bridge girder, therein increasing the reach capabilities of the gantry crane.[1]
