An overhead crane is a classic solution to move large components inside a factory. It's flexibility is recognized. However, the use of an overhead crane is limited to one hall and often heavy trailers are needed to move goods between halls. Moreover, for heavy cargo, the investment cost is substantial, as the overhead crane rails demand heavy duty columns to support them, demanding extensive civil works. This is especially problematic for retrofit. Another drawback is that loaded overhead cranes can't cross each other, limiting free production flow. Maneuvering long components can be a challenge too.
The Seaqx gantry cranes are a solution in cases where the points mentioned above matter. Our gantry cranes are completely omni-directional and can transport cargo between two halls. They are very well suited for retrofit, as they can be put into operation on any good factory floor, without extra measures or cost. They can cross one another easily. The Seaqx gantry cranes can operate in tandem, even with 3 or 4 cranes together, increasing capacity or to lift and maneuver long parts.
The cranes are fitted with standard Seaqx differential drives or with 2 or more Seaqx omni-directional drives that may be assisted by passive swivel wheels.
