Mobile and Fixed Gantry Cranes

Capacity from 250kg up to 10,000kg and span from 3m up to 6m (plus) gives the Hercules mobile gantry crane a wide range of possibilities and areas to be deployed. The simple design makes it easy to assemble and dismantle anywhere indoors or outdoors. Effortlessly shifted on its castors. Height adjustable versions can be built to order.

Vector Lifting manufactures custom travelling gantry cranes, designed to meet both Australian Standards and end user requirements. Crane capacities, spans, and height of lift are completely customisable to meet specific requirements. Generally, travelling Gantry Cranes are rail mounted, however can also be tire or track mounted. Vector Lifting can also provide complete turn-key installations, including civil and rail design, and crane installation. Feature Project Vector Lifting was awarded the Design and Construct Contract for the supply of the Australian Marine Complex Portal Crane. The crane has a 150 tonne main hoist and 50 tonne auxiliary hoist, providing 30m height of lift and 60m clear span. The crane is self-propelled, allowing travel in and out of the assembly hall.

Vector Lifting designed monorail systems are efficient and reliable material handling solutions designed for the safe lifting, transportation, and positioning of loads ranging from 125 kg up to 25,000 kg. These systems consist of a single overhead track (beam or rail) along which a hoist or trolley travels, enabling linear or curved movement of materials within industrial facilities.

Monorails are widely used in manufacturing plants, warehouses, assembly lines, power stations, steel plants, automotive industries, and heavy engineering applications, where precise and repeatable load handling is required.

The system can be configured with straight tracks, curves, switches, and turntables, allowing flexible routing to suit specific process layouts. Depending on load capacity and operational needs, monorails can be equipped with manual, electric, or motorized trolleys, and paired with electric wire rope hoists or chain hoists.

Constructed from high-strength structural steel sections (I-beams, box girders, or custom profiles), monorail systems ensure durability, stability, and long service life. Safety features such as overload protection, end stops, limit switches, anti-derailment devices, and emergency braking systems are incorporated to ensure safe operation.

Monorail material handling systems offer space-saving design, low maintenance requirements, smooth load movement, and high operational efficiency, making them a cost-effective solution for handling both light and heavy loads up to 25 tons in demanding industrial environments.
