A new 70 ton special gantry crane has been installed and tested at the facility of HS Marine, a manufacturer of cranes for marine and offshore applications. Combining telescopic structure, customised configuration and electric power, the machine will soon be used to move the cranes between different areas of the facility, particularly facilitating the transfer of finished products to the areas dedicated to final testing.
A configuration tailored to the application
With a lifting capacity of 70 tons, the gantry crane has been developed around the characteristics of the loads to be handled. Its dimensions have been defined according to the geometry of the cranes, resulting in a configuration designed to meet the customer's operational requirements.
Loads can be lifted using the wheel groups or by extending the four telescopic columns, increasing the machine's overall height. This feature also allows the gantry crane's dimensions to be adjusted to facilitate passage through factory building openings and provide greater flexibility when moving between different work areas.
The load is secured using slings or chains connected to two movable trolleys mounted on the upper beams. Adjusting the trolley position, it is possible to match the lifting points to the characteristics of the load, facilitating correct positioning.
Zero-emission operation
Electrically powered, the gantry crane features latest generation electrical components. The electric motor is driven by a high-performance inverter, while the lithium battery provides extended operating autonomy based on the planned duty cycles. This configuration reduces emissions and noise levels, offering significant advantages when handling loads inside production facilities.
