Gantry crane

« Back to Glossary Index

A gantry is a bridge-like structure, with side supports, enabling it to span, to be, over something.
A gantry crane is exactly that: a crane, which thanks to its supporting side and cross beams, can straddle, be placed above cargo, and approach it from this position.
