Why use an aluminum gantry crane?

Aluminum Gantry Cranes for Versatility

There are many benefits to using the extremely versatile aluminum gantry crane. Here is what an aluminum gantry crane can do for you:

It is lightweight so one person can set it up and take it down in just minutes
It is corrosion resistant, which makes it great for outdoor use
It is the perfect choice if you have floor weight restrictions
Can be toted from job site to job site easily
No need for a fork truck or a hoist
Adjusts up to 12 feet from the top beam and therefore can lift a variety of bulky materials at a single job site
Its parts may be light weight, but it's capability is not. An adjustable aluminum gantry crane can support up to 4,000 pounds
A good choice if you are working in a clean room -- a room with a low level of environmental pollutants.
