Why Choose Goliath Crane?
A Goliath Crane (also known as Gantry Crane) is widely used in open yards, fabrication units, construction sites, shipyards, and areas where overhead EOT crane installation is not feasible.
It runs on rails fixed on the ground and can be designed with single girder or double girder construction, depending on load and application.
It is preferred for its flexibility, high load-handling capability, and suitability for outdoor and large-area operations
1. Suitable for Light to Very Heavy Loads (1 Ton – 200 Ton+)
Goliath Cranes are designed to handle a wide range of loads efficiently.
Common applications:
- Steel yards
- Precast segments
- Heavy fabrication structures
- Construction material handling
- Containers and raw materials
- Shipyards and project sites
They are ideal where heavy or bulky loads need to be handled in open spaces.
2. No Need for Building Support (Self-Supported System)
One of the biggest advantages of a Goliath Crane is that:
- It does not require building columns or roof structures
- No load is transferred to sheds or buildings
- It operates independently on ground-mounted rails
Perfect for outdoor yards and locations with no permanent shed.
3. Flexible Design – Single or Double Girder Options
Goliath Cranes can be customized as:
- Single Girder – economical and lightweight
- Double Girder – for heavy-duty, high-capacity applications
This flexibility allows selection based on load, span, height, and duty cycle.
4. Efficient 3-Way Material Movement
The crane enables smooth movement in all directions:
- Up/Down – Hoist lifting
- Left/Right – Cross travel on girder
- Forward/Backward – Long travel on ground rails
This ensures fast, smooth, and highly productive material handling.
5. Ideal for Large Span & Outdoor Areas
Goliath Cranes are best suited for:
- Large open yards
- Long travel distances
- Wide span requirements
They provide excellent stability and smooth operation over long rail lengths.
6. Robust Structure for Harsh Environments
Designed to withstand:
- Outdoor weather conditions
- Dust, heat, and heavy-duty cycles
- Continuous industrial operations
This makes Goliath Cranes suitable for demanding working environments.
7. Advanced Safety & Control Features
Goliath Cranes can be equipped with:
- Overload protection
- Limit switches
- Emergency stop system
- Anti-collision devices (optional)
- VFD for smooth speed control
These features ensure safe and reliable lifting operations.
8. Easy Installation & Low Maintenance
Since no building structure is involved:
- Installation is faster
- Civil work is minimal
- Maintenance is easy due to accessible components
This results in reduced downtime and long service life.
In Summary – Why Choose a Goliath Crane?
A Goliath Crane is preferred because it is:
- Suitable for light to very heavy loads (1–200 Ton+)
- Self-supported (no building structure required)
- Ideal for outdoor and open-yard applications
- Flexible (Single or Double Girder design)
- Robust, safe, and reliable
- Cost-effective for large-area material handling
It is the best lifting solution for fabrication yards, construction sites, steel plants, warehouses, shipyards, and logistics yards.
