Shipyard Gantry Crane: High Performance Crane Solutions For Shipyards

As a core piece of lifting equipment in the shipbuilding industry, the shipyard gantry crane is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of marine construction, offering unparalleled load capacity, precision control, and operational reliability. Designed specifically for the assembly, transportation, and installation of large ship components—such as hull sections, engines, propellers, and superstructures—this gantry crane serves as the backbone of efficient and safe shipbuilding operations, enabling shipyards to handle ultra-heavy loads with exceptional stability and accuracy.

Core Advantages Tailored for Shipbuilding Needs

• 1. Ultra-High Load Capacity: Engineered with robust steel structures and advanced lifting mechanisms, our shipyard gantry cranes boast a rated load capacity ranging from 50 tons gantry crane to over 1,000 tons gantry crane, capable of handling the heaviest components in modern ship construction. The optimized beam design and reinforced supports ensure structural integrity even under extreme loads, making it ideal for lifting large hull blocks and marine propulsion systems.
• 2. Precision & Stability in Complex Operations: Equipped with high-precision variable frequency drives (VFD) and advanced control systems, the crane enables smooth and accurate positioning of heavy loads. The anti-sway technology minimizes load oscillation during lifting and traversing, critical for precise assembly of ship sections where millimetric accuracy is required. Additionally, the wide span design (customizable up to 100+ meters) covers large work areas in shipyards, reducing the need for multiple lifting devices and improving operational efficiency.
• 3. Durability & Adaptability to Harsh Environments: Shipyards operate in harsh, corrosive marine environments—our gantry cranes are built to withstand saltwater, humidity, and extreme temperatures. The steel components undergo anti-corrosion treatments (such as galvanization and epoxy painting), and key mechanisms are sealed to prevent dust and water ingress. The crane can also be customized with weather protection systems (e.g., rain covers, wind speed monitors) to ensure reliable operation in all weather conditions.
• 4. Safety-First Design: Safety is paramount in shipyard operations. Our shipyard gantry cranes are equipped with multiple safety features, including overload protection, emergency stop systems, limit switches (for lifting height and traversing range), anti-collision devices, and real-time load monitoring. These systems work together to prevent accidents, protect personnel, and safeguard valuable ship components.
