Published: Oct. 24, 2018, 2:20 p.m.

The term “gantry crane” tends to get thrown around a lot in the material handling industry. We often find that when folks say gantry crane, they’re often referring to an overhead bridge crane system. A gantry crane and bridge crane are actually very different types of overhead cranes.

In this podcast, we discuss the following:

  • The definition of a gantry crane
  • The different types of gantry cranes
  • What gantry cranes are used for
  • Gantry crane design considerations
