The Porta Gantry's top 5 features for goods lifting

The PORTAGANTRY is one of our most popular mobile gantry cranes, which leads the field in terms of strength, safety, and performance. Completely portable and made from durable and lightweight aluminium, our PORTAGANTRY provides an essential alternative to steel lifting systems.

Our PORTAGANTRY is easily customisable with a variety of beam lengths and A-frame sizes which allows for a range of work environments and applications.

The PORTAGANTRY has some great features which make it ideal for goods lifting applications. These include:

  1. Manufactured from marine grade aluminium – The PORTAGANTRY is constructed from aluminium which is anodised to provide a quality surface finish and a good level of corrosion resistance for even the harshest environments. This makes the gantry suitable for ATEX (explosive) environments [ATEX Zone 2 is standard, Zone 1 can be achieved with a simple upgrade].

  2. Materials handling capacity of up to 5000kg – The PORTAGANTRY comes in a wide range of sizes with capacity ratings from 500kg through to 5000kg. The gantry WLL is determined by the A-frame size and beam length.

  3. Height Adjustment – Each gantry A-frame has incremental 150mm or 200mm height adjustment, ranging from 5 to 9 adjustment points, depending on the size of the frame. The PORTAGANTRY A-frames comes with either assisted height adjustment or manual. The assisted height adjustments are fitted with either a Ratchet system or a Gear Wheel. You can learn more here.

  4. Swivel locking castors – Each leg of the gantry is fitted with an ergonomic 360° swivel locking castor [as standard] enabling the gantry to be easily moved into the required location. The castors can be easily locked into position.

  5. Compatible with a variety of trolley options and accessories – The PORTAGANTRY is compatible with a range of trolley options including our gated trolley and gear driven trolley which enables a range of hoists to be easily attached for lifting operations. Our trolley options can be locked into position along the beam. We offer a wide range of accessories that are designed to support with your unique lifting and lowering operational needs. You can learn more about our compatible accessories here.

The PORTAGANTRY is an essential piece of workplace equipment for the lifting and lowering of equipment or machinery. It offers high levels of stability and safety, reduces a range of manual handling issues and provides unparalleled versatility amongst lightweight portable lifting systems.
