Bespoke Overhead Gantry

Gantry

The overhead gantry is a self-supporting handling device. CIPAL designs and manufactures it to order for industrial workshops and maintenance facilities. It lifts and moves heavy loads safely. It thus provides a reliable alternative when a traditional overhead travelling crane is not suitable for the site.

Each CIPAL gantry is an overhead structure sized to the site’s specific constraints. It adapts to the available headroom, required span and load capacity. This bespoke approach therefore ensures seamless integration into the existing working environment. It consequently suits production workshops, automotive maintenance facilities and industrial handling areas alike.

CIPAL gantries integrate the options required for each application. These include mobility on wheels or floor rails, pendant push-button or radio remote control, and load limiters. Each configuration furthermore meets the precise productivity and safety requirements of the site.

The engineering department sizes each gantry according to the application’s constraints. It takes into account frequency of use and the operating environment. Every unit is moreover delivered with a complete technical file: operating instructions, structural calculations and CE marking.
