GKS Packaging - Gantry

• Supporting overhead lifting equipment such as hoists and manipulators.
• Providing a stable frame for mounting processing equipment, like the linear weigher mentioned.
• Creating mobile workstations or assembly points within a production facility.
• Facilitating ergonomic material handling and positioning tasks.

Typical load capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 500 kg to 5,000 kg, depending on construction and beam size. Buyers should confirm the safe working load limit with the seller.

Typical span

The span (width) of a gantry can typically range from 2 metres to 8 metres, influencing the operational area. Exact dimensions for this unit should be confirmed.

Typical height under beam

Commonly, the height under the beam for mobile gantries is between 2.5 metres and 5 metres, allowing for varied lifting or equipment mounting heights. This unit's specific height needs verification.

Construction material

Gantries are typically constructed from robust steel sections (e.g., I-beams, box sections) to ensure structural integrity and load-bearing capability.

Mobility

Units like this are commonly fitted with heavy-duty castor wheels, often with braking mechanisms, for easy repositioning within a facility.

Footprint

The footprint is determined by the span and leg design; buyers should consider the required floor space for both operation and movement.

• What is the maximum safe working load (SWL) for this gantry?

  The maximum safe working load must be confirmed directly with the seller. It is critical to operate within the stated SWL to ensure safety and prevent structural damage.

• Are the castor wheels suitable for all industrial floor types?

• Can this gantry be used outdoors?

• Does this gantry come with any lifting equipment, such as a hoist?

• What assembly or disassembly is required for transport?

Access control and production support systems are valued for their role in maintaining facility security, hygiene compliance, and operational efficiency. Buyers typically prioritise units with robust construction, clear audit trails, and compatibility with existing infrastructure. When purchasing used equipment, inspectors should verify electronic components function reliably, examine wear on access mechanisms, and confirm software licensing remains valid. Industry sentiment favours systems demonstrating consistent performance records and straightforward maintenance requirements, particularly those serving food safety standards and minimising production downtime.
