Industrial Goliath Crane

The Gantry/Goliath EOT (Electric Overhead Traveling) Crane from Laxmi Engineering is a highly versatile and robust material handling solution designed to move heavy loads in outdoor environments or large industrial sites. Unlike traditional overhead cranes, a gantry crane (often referred to as a goliath crane) operates on wheels or tracks and does not require an overhead runway or building structure, making it ideal for handling materials in open spaces, yards, docks, and construction sites.

Key Features and Components:

1. Gantry/Goliath Structure:
   The gantry or goliath crane features a unique, freestanding frame with two legs (often fitted with wheels or rails), supporting the bridge of the crane. This allows the crane to move along a horizontal plane without the need for a dedicated overhead building structure, giving it the flexibility to operate in large, open spaces or outdoor environments.

2. Hoisting Mechanism:
   The hoisting system of the crane is designed for heavy-duty lifting and features high-performance electric hoists that provide precise and stable control over heavy loads. The hoist is equipped with a powerful motor, gearbox, and drum system to ensure smooth and efficient lifting and lowering.

3. Bridge and Trolley System:
   The bridge structure of the gantry crane carries the trolley, which moves horizontally along the bridge using a rail system or wheel-driven mechanism. The trolley is equipped with an electric motor that provides controlled motion for lifting and transporting loads across the span of the crane.

4. Traveling Mechanism:
   Powered by high-torque electric motors, the traveling system of the gantry crane allows for precise movement of the crane along the ground or rail track. This includes longitudinal movement (along the length of the crane) and lateral movement (across the yard or industrial site). The use of heavy-duty wheels or rail tracks enables smooth and stable travel even when carrying heavy loads.

5. Control System:
   The crane is equipped with advanced control systems that allow operators to easily maneuver the hoisting and traveling functions. This includes pendant controls, radio remote controls, and operator cabins with user-friendly interfaces. The control system ensures precise lifting, lowering, and movement of loads, enhancing safety and operational efficiency.

6. Safety Features:
   Laxmi Engineering integrates a wide range of safety systems into the gantry crane to protect both operators and the equipment. Key safety features include:

   • Overload protection to prevent lifting loads beyond the cranes capacity.
   • Limit switches to ensure the crane moves within its travel limits.
   • Anti-collision systems for preventing the cranes parts from colliding with obstacles.
   • Emergency stop buttons for rapid cessation of operation in case of emergencies.
   • Safety brakes to hold the crane and hoist in place during stationary periods.

7. Durability and Construction:
   Built for heavy-duty applications, the gantry crane is made with high-strength materials that ensure durability and long service life even in harsh outdoor environments. The crane is weather-resistant and designed to withstand challenging conditions such as rain, wind, and temperature fluctuations.

8. Customization:
   Laxmi Engineering offers the ability to customize gantry cranes to meet specific operational needs. This includes modifications in lifting capacity, span, height of lift, traveling speed, and rail layout. Whether the application involves lifting heavy machinery, containers, or construction materials, the crane can be tailored to provide maximum performance and efficiency.
