Types of Indoor Gantry Crane
Aicrane has four main types of indoor gantry crane for sale for our clients. There are rubber tyred type, regular type, semi type and portable type. Each type has their own features. You can choose based on your project requirement.
Rubber Tyred Type
Rubber Tyred Type
The rubber tyred gantry crane is equipped with rubber tires, allowing easy movement on flat, smooth indoor surfaces.
- Ideal for Indoor Use: Commonly used in factories, warehouses, and logistics centers where track installation is not possible.
- Versatile: Suitable for light to medium-duty lifting tasks such as material handling and assembly line operations.
- Relocation Flexibility: Can be easily moved to different locations, improving operational efficiency.
- Floor Protection: Rubber tyres reduce the risk of floor damage, making it ideal for sensitive indoor environments.
Regular Type
Regular Type
The regular type usually moves along the existing rail indoor. This help to increase the stability when the gantry crane moves. There are two models we often supply. The lifting capacity and working class of the single girder gantry crane model is lower than the double girder gantry crane model.
The AQ-MH model is single girder indoor gantry crane.

Combined Solution – Indoor Gantry Crane & Steel Structure
The combined solution that integrates the indoor gantry crane with a steel structure is an advanced and highly efficient setup used in many industrial settings, particularly in manufacturing plants, warehouses, and large storage facilities. This solution combines the flexibility and functionality of gantry cranes with the robustness and durability of steel structures.
- Efficient Space Utilization: The steel structure serves as a strong and reliable framework that supports the crane and other components, ensuring safety while maximizing the available space.
- Durability and Strength: Steel is renowned for its strength and resilience, providing a sturdy foundation for the crane and other equipment. This allows the system to handle heavy loads consistently and safely.
- Flexibility in Design: The combination of these two elements allows for customizable designs. Steel structures can be built to accommodate specific crane capacities, workshop layouts, and operational needs, ensuring the system is perfectly suited to the facility’s requirements.
- Cost-Effectiveness: If you don’t have the workshop or other existing construction yet, by combining the crane and steel structure, you reduce the need for additional support systems, which can lead to cost savings in both materials and labor.
Differences Between Indoor Gantry Crane & Outdoor Gantry Crane
Indoor gantry cranes are designed with specific features that distinguish them from outdoor gantry cranes. These features are tailored to address the unique requirements of indoor environments, while outdoor gantry cranes are built to withstand harsher conditions and accommodate larger-scale operations. Below, we’ll explore the key features of indoor gantry cranes and how they compare to outdoor gantry cranes.
Size and Load Capacity
- Indoor Gantry Cranes: Typically, indoor gantry cranes are designed to handle lighter loads compared to outdoor gantry cranes. They usually have load capacities ranging from a few hundred kilograms to around 20 tons. This makes them suitable for small- to medium-scale operations such as material handling in workshops, assembly lines, and warehouses.
- Outdoor Gantry Cranes: In contrast, outdoor gantry cranes are designed for larger, heavy-duty tasks and can handle much higher loads, often from 30 to 100 tons. They are built to lift massive industrial loads, such as shipping containers, heavy equipment, and construction materials at large sites like docks, ports, or construction zones.
Materials and Durability
- Indoor Gantry Cranes: Since indoor gantry cranes are used in relatively controlled environments, they are often made from lighter materials, such as steel or aluminum, to reduce weight and cost. These materials are durable enough for indoor use but do not need to withstand harsh weather conditions like outdoor cranes.
- Outdoor Gantry Cranes: Outdoor gantry cranes are built with heavy-duty materials to withstand extreme weather conditions, including rain, wind, and UV exposure. They are typically constructed from reinforced steel, which provides additional strength and durability to support higher loads and ensure reliability in the outdoor environment.
Weather Resistance and Environmental Considerations
- Indoor Gantry Cranes: Indoor gantry cranes are not designed to face the elements. They operate in sheltered environments, such as factories, warehouses, and garages, where temperature, humidity, and weather conditions are controlled.
- Outdoor Gantry Cranes: On the other hand, outdoor gantry cranes are specifically designed to endure exposure to various weather conditions. They are often equipped with weather-resistant coatings, corrosion protection, and enhanced sealing to prevent damage from rain, snow, or extreme heat.
Operation and Control
- Indoor Gantry Cranes: Indoor gantry cranes often have simpler control systems and can be manually operated or powered by electric motors or hydraulic systems for smoother movement.
- Outdoor Gantry Cranes: Outdoor gantry cranes are typically equipped with more advanced control systems, including remote control options. They are often used in larger and more complex operations where precision, speed, and efficiency are critical. Additionally, outdoor cranes may include features like anti-sway control, collision detection, and high-capacity hoists to meet the demands of heavy-duty lifting.
Maintenance Requirements
- Indoor Gantry Cranes: Maintenance for indoor gantry cranes is usually straightforward due to the relatively controlled environment in which they operate. These cranes typically require regular lubrication, inspection of electrical components, and cleaning to ensure smooth operation.
- Outdoor Gantry Cranes: Maintenance for outdoor gantry cranes is more involved due to their exposure to harsher environments. Regular inspections, corrosion prevention, and weatherproofing measures are essential to extend the lifespan of outdoor cranes.
Indoor and outdoor gantry cranes are designed for different environments and applications, each with its own set of advantages. Indoor gantry cranes are typically smaller, more mobile, and more affordable, making them ideal for lighter, more flexible operations in controlled environments. On the other hand, outdoor gantry cranes are built for heavy-duty lifting in challenging outdoor environments, with enhanced durability, load capacities, and safety features. Understanding these differences will help you select the right gantry crane for your specific needs, whether you’re handling lighter tasks indoors or tackling heavy industrial lifting outdoors.
