Content Quick Link
The shipbuilding gantry crane is an industrial gantry crane, designed for handling hull components and assembly in shipyards with large lifting capacity, multiple functions and high efficiency,etc. The process gantry crane are adopted for efficient transport the subsections of large ship, butt jointing, and hull lifting,reversing and assembly,with the high reliability and stability.
Main parameters of shipyard crane
- Crane type: single girder & double girder gantry crane for shipbuilding
- Lifting capacity of shipbuilding gantry crane cranes : 2×50+100t, 2×75+100t, 2×100+160t, 2×150+200t, 2×400+400t
- Span of shipbuilding gantry crane cranes: 50～185m
- Lifting height of shipbuilding gantry crane cranes: 28～76/10～50m
- Application:Shipbuilding gantry cranes are processed for hull block handling in shipyard.
Tailored shipyard cranes are available for hull block handling in your particular shipyard applications. Free consultation on shipyard gantry cranes are available. Contact us to get your process gantry crane design and shipyard crane drawing.
Shipbuilding gantry cranes of single girder & double girder designs
Shipbuilding gantry cranes can be grouped into single girder and double girder shipbuilding gantry crane, which can be selected based on your shipyard applications and lifting requirements.
The single girder crane designs offers a shipyard crane solution featured as simple structure, easy to manufacture and installation, light weight, etc. Compared with double girder gantry crane design, the single girder gantry crane offers weaker overall stiffness but with lower gantry crane cost.
The double girder crane design offers a shipyard crane solution with heavier lifting capacity, larger span, and stronger overall stability, compared with single girder cranes. The double girder gantry cranes are available with a various crane designs and configurations, with muti functions, and high efficiency,etc.
If you are in need an efficient overhead travelling crane for big hull blocks handling, the process designed shipbuilding gantry crane will be an good solution. Contact us to get more information on shipbuilding gantry cranes and shipyard cranes.

Features of shipbuilding gantry cranes & shipyard cranes
- Multi- function shipyard crane - single hanging, lifting hanging, air overturning, air unbalanced tiny turn grievances, etc.
- Simultaneous & separate operation - The two hooks of the upper crab trolley, situated at the outer side of the main girder, can move separately and simultaneously within 0-2m. The main and auxiliary hooks of lower crab trolley, situated below the center of the shipyard crane girder, also can move simultaneously or separately according to your needs. which are .
- High wind resistance, reliable and safe shipyard crane - The shipyard gantry crane uses reliable wind-shielding devices such as rail clamp, ground anchor to to prevent the attacks of storms to insure the gantry crane safety.
- Rigid crane girder design, lower head weight - The crane girder of the shipbuilding gantry crane offers a high degree of vertical and horizontal rigidity with low dead weight which transmits small wheel loads to the crane runway .
- Various safety measures, reliable and stable -Overload protection,Thermal protection for main lifting motor, Hooks with safety latch, anti- collision crane buffers, various crane limiters,Emergency stop button, etc.
All in all, we can offer you tailored shipyard crane solutions with the features of reasonable structure, smooth starting and stopping, safe and reliable crane traveling, low noise and favorable performance, commodious driver's cabin offering good view,etc. All of our cranes and components are pre-assembled and tested before leaving factory to ensure safety and quality and the certificates of testing are provided.
