Gantry Cranes
Gantry Cranes are self-supporting cranes, meaning they don’t rely on any building structure for operation. Unlike overhead cranes that need beams or columns, gantry cranes stand on their own legs and move along a rail or wheels. This makes them highly versatile—suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, though especially preferred for outdoor environments such as yards, fabrication sites, and loading bays.
At Konex Material Handling Systems LLP, we offer gantry cranes in both Single Girder and Double Girder configurations, designed to match your lifting requirements precisely. With lifting capacities of up to 30 tons, our gantry cranes are widely used for moving light to heavy loads across industrial plants, construction zones, and logistics facilities. As a trusted Gantry Crane Manufacturer in India, we deliver reliable, durable, and fully customized solutions built to suit your operational needs.

Types of Gantry Cranes We Manufacture
Single Girder Gantry Crane
These cranes are built with a single beam and are ideal for lighter loads or limited headroom environments. Single girder gantry cranes are cost-effective, easier to install, and suitable for general-purpose applications. They are often used where moderate lifting capacities are required without compromising on mobility.
Double Girder Gantry Crane
For higher lifting capacities and longer spans, double girder gantry cranes are the preferred choice. Equipped with two parallel girders and a robust hoisting mechanism, these cranes are designed for handling heavy-duty operations in industries like steel processing, large-scale fabrication, or heavy equipment handling.
Semi-Gantry Crane
A semi-gantry crane combines the features of both overhead and gantry cranes. One side of the crane runs on an elevated rail (attached to a building), while the other side moves on the floor. This setup is ideal where partial support from the building is available, offering both structural efficiency and floor space optimization.
Heavy Duty Gantry Crane
Robust, powerful, and built for challenging environments—heavy duty gantry cranes are ideal for handling large, heavy loads in demanding industrial applications. Commonly found in shipyards, construction sites, and manufacturing plants, these cranes provide exceptional lifting capacity where permanent infrastructure may be limited or where flexibility in load handling is essential. Their primary advantage lies in their strength, durability, and ability to manage extreme lifting requirements efficiently.
Applications of Gantry Crane in Industry
Benefits of Using a Gantry Crane
- Self-supporting structure, no need for permanent building supports
- Versatile for both indoor and outdoor heavy-duty operations
- Can be relocated as needed, depending on project requirements
- Offers high lifting capacity without major structural modifications
- Ideal for demanding applications in large-scale or evolving industrial environments
What is a Heavy Duty Gantry Crane?
A Heavy Duty Gantry Crane is a large, robust lifting system engineered to handle exceptionally heavy loads in industrial settings. These cranes are designed for operations where strength, stability, and high lifting capacity are crucial—such as shipyards, steel plants, construction zones, and large manufacturing facilities.
Unlike lightweight or portable cranes, heavy duty gantry cranes are built for long-term, intensive use and can be equipped with advanced lifting mechanisms, motorized movement, and custom spans to suit large-scale applications. They are essential for industries requiring dependable, high-capacity lifting solutions with the flexibility to operate in areas without permanent overhead crane structures.
Customization & Manufacturing Capabilities
At Konex, we understand that no two industrial environments are the same. That’s why every gantry crane we manufacture is fully customizable. Our engineering team works closely with each customer to determine the ideal:
- Span length

Choosing the Right Gantry Crane
Selecting the right gantry crane depends on a range of operational and environmental factors. Start by assessing your lifting capacity requirements—what weight will you need to lift regularly, and how often? Then, consider the working environment: is it indoors, outdoors, or a combination?
For heavy industrial tasks that involve consistent, high-capacity lifting, a heavy duty gantry crane is the ideal choice. These cranes are engineered for strength and durability, making them suitable for large-scale applications such as shipbuilding, fabrication yards, and infrastructure projects. The layout of your facility also matters—especially ceiling height, floor conditions, and available space.
Finally, factor in the frequency of usage: high-cycle operations demand robust, feature-rich systems designed to withstand continuous use. Our experts at Konex are always available to help you assess these factors and recommend the most suitable gantry crane for your application.
