Overhead Gantry Crane/ Jib Hoist Training
An overhead gantry crane, commonly called a bridge crane, is a type of crane found in industrial environments. An overhead crane consists of parallel runways with a traveling bridge spanning the gap. A hoist, the lifting component of a crane, travels along the bridge.
Gantry Crane training courses last between 1-2 days depending upon the requirements of the operator, developing essential skills such as company machine operation, health and safety, and accepted good practice.
Gantry Cranes can be either Pendant or Remote Control operated. We are experienced in various attachments such as vacuum, electro magnets, as well as spreader beams.
