Difference between bridge crane and gantry crane
 
 
Bridge crane is a crane on the overhead rack orbit, also known as crane. It is a horizontal lifting trolley crane running along the track, you can take full advantage of the space below the crane lifting materials, unhindered ground equipment. Gantry crane is a variant of the overhead crane, also known as gantry. The distinction between the bridge crane and gantry crane can follow the following points:
 
First, the crane structure
Bridge crane steel structure divided parts, mechanical transmission parts and electrical parts. Steel bridge and a small portion of the frame composed by girder bridge, side beams, walkway, fence and operating chamber. Composed by car frame and railings; mechanical transmission part by the traveling mechanism, trolley traveling mechanism and lifting agencies; electrical part by electrical lines and electrical equipment.
 
In generally gantry crane is the lifting equipment like portal frame structure beneath the girder bearing mounted legs with travel agencies. You can walk the track on the ground directly; both ends of the girder can be extended with a cantilever. Gantry crane includes the door frame, big, car running gear and electrical parts. Mast includes the main beam, legs and beams composed; large, car-by-round box section and deceleration electromechanical machine components; electrical parts including the operating room and cable.
 
Second, the crane lifting
The main operations of bridge crane are used in workshops, warehouses, garages, loading cargo for loading and unloading. From the weight lifting as a quorum, a few tons to hundreds of tons.
Main job of gantry crane used in the library field, railway stations, ports, terminals and other outdoor yard for loading and unloading cargo. Shoulder one-piece or large bulky goods.

Third, the advantages and disadvantages of cranes
Bridge crane lifting capacity, high speed, high efficiency; loading and unloading operations at the site, but need to build piers, resulting in increased costs. When the job only in the span of lifting cargo, smaller operations.gantry site utilization is high, a large operating range, wide adaptability, versatility, can be used in the port yard.
