FullSharp supplied a 500 kg push-type gantry crane with an electric hoist for plants in leased buildings that cannot drill into the ceiling but still lift loads of several hundred kilograms. The load goes to the floor through two legs on casters, and the gantry is pushed into place, used, then moved or parked in a corner.

Many plants lease their building and can't drill into the ceiling structure, yet still need to lift loads weighing several hundred kilograms. Borrowing a forklift for each short lift wastes time waiting and lacks the precision needed to set loads into an exact spot. What's needed is freestanding, movable lifting equipment.

FullSharp supplied a 500 kg push-type gantry crane carrying an electric hoist, with the entire load transferred to the floor through its two legs. The operator pushes the gantry into place, then presses the hoist button to lift and lower. Once done, the gantry can be pushed to another area or parked in a corner of the shop.

Installed Equipment

  • 500 kg crossbeam: a steel beam spanning between the two gantry legs, with the underside serving as the runway for the trolley carrying the hoist.
  • Two gantry legs with casters: steel legs on wheels, moved by one or two people across a flat floor.
  • Electric hoist on the beam: push-button lifting and lowering with a load-holding brake at stop, and a pendant control within reach of the operator standing below.
  • Caster locking brakes: lock the wheels before lifting so the gantry stays steady throughout the work.

Benefits for the Plant

No ceiling drilling needed

The entire load transfers to the floor through the two legs, so leased buildings or light prefab roofs can still use it.

Shared across areas

Push the gantry to another spot whenever needed; one unit serves several stages in the plant.

Quick to set up and store

Assemble and adjust it in a short time, then push it into a corner to free up the floor when work is done.

  • Repair areas for engines and gearboxes
  • Warehouses needing lifting at multiple points
  • Mold and fixture workshops

Frequently asked questions

Can a gantry crane work without attaching to the building?

Yes. The whole load passes through two legs to the floor, so nothing is fixed to the ceiling. FullSharp checks floor condition before supplying it.

How many people does it take to move a gantry crane?

One or two people push it across a flat floor on its casters. The steel crossbeam serves as the runway for the hoist trolley.

Why not use a forklift for short lifts?

Borrowing a forklift means waiting and lacks the precision to set loads into an exact spot. A gantry with a hoist lifts and lowers by button.

Consultation for Your Plant's Installation

FullSharp surveys floor flatness, clear height, and the dimensions of the load to be lifted before selecting the gantry span. We calculate the remaining lifting height after accounting for the hoist and hook, then trial-assemble it at your plant. Call FullSharp to schedule an on-site measurement.
