Why choose us?

Constructed with High-Strength Aluminum Alloy

Our aluminum portable gantry crane solves the problem of heavy, clumsy lifting equipment. Using high-strength aluminum alloy, we significantly reduce dead weight while ensuring load-bearing capacity. This gives the portable gantry crane excellent corrosion resistance for damp or outdoor environments and makes it light enough for one person to assemble and move.

Modular Design for Quick Assembly and Storage

All components of the portable gantry crane are designed to be disassembled. The crane features adjustable height and span, and some aluminum models can even be folded for compact storage. This means the portable gantry crane does not require a fixed installation site; you can move it to wherever it's needed and store it under a workbench or in a pickup truck when not in use.

Enhanced Workshop Mobility with Braked Casters

Designed for easy movement across workshops, the bottom of our portable gantry crane is equipped with universal wheels that have a braking function. The wheels are often made of wear-resistant rubber material to prevent scratching cement or tile floors. This allows a single worker to push the heavy load effortlessly and lock it securely in position during operation.

A 10 ton portable gantry crane is a heavy-duty lifting structure that brings true industrial lifting power to a mobile platform, capable of handling loads up to 20,000 lbs (approximately 10,000 kg) without requiring permanent building modifications. The crane is constructed from heavy-gauge steel tubing and features a tri-adjustable design: the height, span, and caster frame spread can all be configured independently to match the specific requirements of each job. In a heavy equipment dealership, a 10 ton portable gantry crane is used weekly to lift and reposition massive components such as excavator buckets, dump truck transmissions, and large hydraulic cylinders for service. The crane’s legs are height-adjustable, typically with multiple pin positions offering lift heights under the beam from 8 feet up to 20 feet or more. The span can be shortened for travel through narrow shop aisles and extended to straddle bulky machinery or shipping containers. Despite its high capacity, the 10 ton portable gantry crane is designed to be rolled under load by a crew of two to three people, using heavy-duty forged steel casters rated for the full working capacity. In a precast concrete plant, the crane is used to lift heavy building panels from the curing beds onto flatbed trucks, with the height adjusted to match the truck deck level. The crane’s modular structure allows it to be disassembled into components manageable by forklift for relocation between yards. For a 10 ton portable gantry crane sized to your specific span, lift height, and caster requirements, please contact our heavy lift equipment specialists.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer explosion-proof cranes for hazardous environments?

Yes, we offer a full range of explosion-proof cranes specifically designed for hazardous environments containing flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts. These cranes are crucial for petrochemical plants, oil refineries, chemical facilities, paint factories, and grain handling operations [21†L5-L10]. Our explosion-proof cranes feature flameproof enclosures (Ex d) made of cast aluminum or ductile iron capable of containing internal explosions, intrinsically safe (Ex ia/ib) control circuits that limit energy to non-ignition levels, and marine-grade corrosion-resistant coatings for saltwater and chemical exposure [21†L26-L30]. We provide ATEX and IECEx certified equipment suitable for Zone 0, 1, and 44 hazardous areas.
Our single girder overhead crane features a simple one-beam structure that reduces manufacturing costs by 30-50% compared to double girder models [3†L4-L9]. It is suitable for lighter lifting tasks, typically up to 10 tons, with a compact design that is easy to install and ideal for workshops where lighter loads are handled. In contrast, our double girder crane consists of two main beams and two end beams, providing strong bearing capacity, ability to withstand large loads (from several tons up to hundreds of tons), and is capable of covering large spans, making it suitable for heavy-duty industrial operations [1†L5-L7]. The double girder crane is a powerful crane type with a hoist and trolley system that can lift and move materials both vertically and horizontally [4†L46-L93].
Yes, our rail-mounted electric flat cars are available with battery-powered options for maximum operational flexibility. Battery-powered models utilize high-capacity industrial batteries (lead-acid or lithium-ion) to power the motor through a motor reducer, eliminating the need for trailing cables or exposed live rails. This configuration is particularly valuable for railway maintenance depots, shipyards, and outdoor storage yards where maintaining fixed electrical infrastructure would be impractical. The battery-powered rail flat car also features remote control operation, with battery level indicators and low-voltage cutoffs to protect battery lifespan.
Our mini spider crane (tracked mini crane) resembles a spider with retractable legs and booms, enabling operation in confined spaces such as narrow alleys, urban environments, indoor renovations, and historic buildings where larger cranes cannot operate [14†L30-L34]. Despite its compact dimensions, some spider crane models lift up to 10 tons, making them ideal for glass curtain wall installation, equipment installation, bridge maintenance, and material handling in petrochemical plants and railway construction [14†L11-L15]. The rubber tracks protect delicate floors while providing stability on uneven surfaces, and the 402° mobility allows precise load positioning in complex industrial layouts.
Our crane products are designed, manufactured, inspected, and accepted in strict accordance with relevant national standards and industry specifications such as GB/T3811 "Crane Design Specification" and GB/T14406 "General Gantry Cranes" [2†L15-L16]. Each crane goes through multiple inspection links, ensuring that product quality reaches an excellent level [2†L18]. Our core components are developed in cooperation with universities and research institutions and are self-manufactured, achieving control over product quality and production schedule [1†L21-L24]. We also provide a 1-year warranty service from the date of product delivery [2†L20-L63].

Customer Reviews

Thomas White

Our shop needed a portable gantry crane for removing and reinstalling heavy truck engines and transmissions. The aluminum gantry crane is lightweight enough for one person to move around but sturdy enough to handle 1,003 kg lifts regularly. Height adjustment is quick, and the locking casters keep it stable while working. Highly recommended for any auto repair shop.

Thomas White

Our warehouse has low ceilings in some areas but we still need to lift heavy loads. The portable adjustable gantry crane from Henan Yixing works perfectly. We can lower the beam height for the low-clearance areas, then raise it for taller trucks in the loading zone. Height is adjustable in increments of 150mm or 203mm over a range of several feet. The crane has been extremely reliable over two years.
