Independent lifting coverage
Freestanding gantry and portal cranes for buildings or yards where roof-supported runways are unsuitable.
Designed around the application
Capacity, span, headroom, duty, structure, controls and maintenance access are considered together.
Choosing the right crane
A gantry or portal crane carries its bridge on legs rather than relying fully on the building frame. It can be the right answer for outdoor yards, new production cells and existing buildings that cannot accept overhead runway loads.
CraneCert designs the structure, travel arrangement, power supply and lifting equipment as one coordinated system. We also plan installation access, foundations and future maintenance before fabrication starts.
The design brief
A useful quotation starts with the operating requirement, not just a headline safe working load.
Indoor or outdoor environment
Foundation and floor conditions
Clear span, travel length and hook coverage
Wind, corrosion and temperature exposure
Vehicle and pedestrian interfaces
Power delivery and isolation arrangements
Configuration options
Two supporting leg frames create a fully independent travelling crane structure.
One runway is building-supported and the other runs on a floor-level leg where the site allows it.
A static frame for maintenance, machinery handling or a defined lifting station.

Share what you know. If capacity, span or hook height are still uncertain, we will help establish them during the survey.
Questions, answered
An overhead crane normally runs on elevated runways supported by the building or independent columns. A gantry crane carries one or both sides of the bridge on legs.
Yes, when wind actions, corrosion protection, drainage, electrification and safe parking are included in the design.
We coordinate the complete requirement and provide the crane and supporting steelwork package agreed for the project, with foundation information for the site team.
Single Girder Overhead Cranes
A practical, economical overhead crane layout for workshops, production bays and routine material handling.
Double Girder Overhead Cranes
Higher-capacity crane systems for demanding duty cycles, long spans and applications where hook approach matters.
Jib Cranes for Workshops and Production
Compact slewing cranes for machines, workstations and production cells where a full bay crane is unnecessary.
