Air Technical Industries has developed a double or single girder gantry crane, available up to 20,000 lb. capacity, that is pre-assembled, tested, certified and folded to fit in a 20' ISO container for shipment and storage. With the push of a button it transforms into a full-featured, ready-to-use overhead crane requiring no tools, skilled personnel or auxiliary equipment in the set-up process.
Features include omni-directional mobility or just X-Y axis for indoor or outdoor use on flat surfaces. It gives the user flexibility of multitasking in unusual environments or circumstances.
The crane offers immediacy of use whenever needed. It is not fixed to the floor or building columns and does not need a runway.
The pronto presto overhead crane is available in capacities of 4,000, 6,000, 10,000 and 20,000 lbs. with a span width limited only to the size of the container. If a 40' ISO container is used, spans of 20' to 38' are available. It comes in under beam heights of 12', 14', 16' and 18'. The electrically powered hydraulic unit can be 110 volt AC single phase. Larger capacities can be 240 - 480 volt AC 3-phase or 12V DC powered for use in remote locations where power is not available. The push button controls are 110 volt AC or 12 volt DC. Wireless controls are available.
Mobility is provided on eight polyurethane swivel wheels with swivel locks and wheel brakes. Smaller units can be manually manipulated. Heavier units are self-propelled with power steering control.
The base unit has a chain hoist with a manual trolley. A chain hoist usually requires more headroom. Options for a wire rope hoist and motorized trolley are available. For example, if headroom is limited, the wire rope hoist can nest between a double girder configuration, reducing the headroom by approx. 12" - 18", enabling low-profile overhead clearance and higher lift.
The foldable, self-erecting gantry crane is a suitable tool where heavy duty lifting, mobility and expediency of prompt deployment are essential and critical.
