WHY CHOOSE A SMALL GANTRY CRANE?
When space is limited or your lifting needs change frequently, small gantry cranes are often the most practical solution.

This means they can also be just as easily dismantled or transported between jobs wherever you need them.
This makes them ideal for all types of work and environments, including:
- Confined spaces
- Maintenance and repair tasks
- Construction and installation work

- Temporary lifting applications

Gantry & Shearleg FAQs
What is a small gantry crane?
A small gantry crane is a portable overhead lifting system used to raise and move loads. They are typically used where lifting is temporary or permanent/fixed crane systems aren’t available.
What makes small gantry cranes easy to move across job sites?
Small gantry cranes are fitted with robust, lockable castor wheels which makes it effortless to roll them to different locations. They are also lightweight enough to make this an easy task, ideal for moving from job to job or around site.
How do I prevent tipping or instability when using a portable gantry or mobile shearleg?
To prevent tipping or instability when using any small gantry crane, it’s important to ensure it’s set up correctly and operated within its safe limits.
Always place the gantry on level, stable ground and lock the castor wheels before lifting. Do not exceed the crane’s safe working load and position it directly under the beam to keep the weight distributed evenly.
What routine checks should I perform to keep my gantry crane in top condition?
Regularly inspect your portable gantry or mobile shearleg for signs of wear, including checking the lifting components, bolts, and wheels. Lubricate moving parts periodically, look for corrosion, and ensure all safety mechanisms are functioning correctly to extend the life of the equipment.
Can portable gantries and mobile shearlegs handle heavy-duty industrial lifting tasks?
Yes, portable gantries and mobile shearlegs are widely used for lifting industrial equipment, machinery, and heavy components, making them a versatile solution for both heavy-duty lifting and regular maintenance tasks in factories, warehouses, and construction sites.
