PRODUCTS & CASES

100-ton gantry cranes are a solution for medium-to-large cargo transfers in modern industrial systems. They can easily lift containers and large industrial facility components and are widely used in heavy-load environments such as ports, shipyards, and large construction sites.

Parts

The structural design of the 100-ton gantry crane focuses on the core functions of strong load-bearing capacity, stable operation, and convenient operation. It mainly consists of five parts, which work together to improve the overall operating performance of the crane:

Gantry structure: As the main frame of the crane, it is constructed of high-strength steel and is commonly available in two types: truss and box-type. The truss structure is lightweight and offers excellent wind resistance, making it suitable for windy outdoor environments. The box-type structure offers greater rigidity and load-bearing capacity, making it suitable for heavy-duty operations requiring extreme stability. The outriggers on both sides of the gantry provide stable support for the entire structure. Some models can be designed with a cantilevered gantry to further expand the operating range.

Trolley mechanism：Mounted on the gantry crossbeam, it drives the hook along the crossbeam, enabling horizontal transfer of heavy loads. The mechanism utilizes high-precision guide rails and drive units for high precision and low noise, enabling precise transport of heavy loads to the designated location.

Track system：This mechanism drives the entire crane along the ground track, determining the crane's operating range. The trolley mechanism of rail-mounted cranes utilizes dedicated rails for stable operation and precise positioning. Tire-mounted cranes, equipped with high-strength rubber tires, eliminate the need for fixed rails, allowing for flexible adjustment of operating positions to accommodate temporary or changing operating scenarios.

Braking system: This component ensures operational safety. It is used to control the lifting mechanism, the start and stop, and the deceleration during track operation, preventing the load from sliding or the equipment from shifting due to inertia, and reducing safety hazards.

Control systems: There are two types of control systems: cab control and ground remote control. The cab is typically located in a well-viewed area and is equipped with operating handles, an instrument panel, and safety control buttons, allowing the operator to directly observe the operation and precisely control the equipment. Ground remote control allows the operator to control the equipment from a safe distance, making it particularly suitable for flexible operation in complex working environments. Both control methods can be selected or combined based on actual needs.

With their powerful load-bearing capacity and flexible adaptability, 100-ton gantry cranes play a vital role in modern industry and logistics. At ports and container terminals, they efficiently handle container loading and unloading between ships and transport vehicles, improving cargo turnover. 100-ton cranes are also used in shipyards, precisely lifting heavy components such as hull sections and large engines, making component positioning and installation during shipbuilding and repair more stable and simple. In heavy machinery plants, they can transport large machine tools, heavy castings, and other equipment, reducing labor costs and operational risks, and improving production efficiency. At large-scale construction sites, such as bridge construction and factory building construction, they can also lift heavy building materials such as prefabricated beams and steel frames to ensure projects proceed on schedule. For special needs such as windy outdoor environments and temporary operations, structural components can be adjusted to suit specific scenarios.
