Gantry & Overhead Cranes for Sale & Rent
Gantry and overhead cranes lift along a fixed span rather than slewing from a base. Overhead (bridge) cranes run on rails built into a building to serve a workshop or warehouse bay; gantry cranes carry the same bridge on legs that travel on ground rails or rubber tyres, for yards, ports and precast plants. Both give repeatable, controlled lifting over a defined area.
They are specified by span, lifting height and safe working load, from a few tonnes in a workshop to hundreds of tonnes in container and shipyard gantries. Konecranes, Liebherr, Demag, ABUS and ZPMC are common suppliers. Rail-mounted (RMG) and rubber-tyred (RTG) gantries are the standard classes in container handling.

Frequently asked questions
Gantry vs overhead crane — what is the difference?
An overhead (bridge) crane runs on rails fixed to the building structure; a gantry crane carries the bridge on its own legs that travel on ground rails or tyres, so it needs no supporting building. Otherwise the lifting principle is the same.
What are RMG and RTG cranes?
Rail-mounted gantry (RMG) and rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) cranes used to stack and move shipping containers in ports and intermodal yards — RMGs run on fixed rails, RTGs on tyres for flexibility.
How is an overhead crane rated?
By safe working load, span (rail-to-rail distance) and lifting height. Duty cycle — how intensively it is used — also determines the classification and component sizing.
What should I check when buying a used gantry or overhead crane?
Runway and wheel condition, hoist and rope wear, structural welds, control and safety systems, and whether the span and height match your building or yard.
