Shipbuilding gantry crane is a kind of great lifting capacity, large span, high lifting altitude, multi function, high efficiency of gantry crane, is special for the fragmented transport, end-to-end joint and turning operation of large ship hulls. Shipbuilding gantry crane is used in the place of manufacturing of ship and dock. With the development of large-scale shipbuilding, Shipyard gantry crane for sale , shipbuilding gantry crane is the rapid growth of demand. Compared with the traditional portal crane, large shipbuilding gantry crane has the obvious advantage of the installation and transportation of hull sections. It spans the dock (berth), can provide on-site assembly service at the coverage plane in the dock, not only has the lifting, horizontal transport function, but also can implement hull air turnover, adjusting the fragment to the welding position of ship required.

Korig has rich experience on the manufacturing of gantry cranes for ship building with big lifting weight, lifting height and span.

Product Introduction: Shipbuilding Gantry Crane

The Shipbuilding Gantry Crane is a heavy-duty lifting system designed for the precise and efficient handling of large ship components in marine construction. Built with high-strength steel, double girders, and advanced hoisting mechanisms, this crane ensures stability, safety, and high load capacity (ranging from 50 to 1,000+ tons).

Key Features:
✔ Robust Construction – Reinforced steel structure for durability in harsh shipyard environments.
✔ Precision Control – Smooth movement via variable frequency drives (VFD) for accurate positioning.
✔ Customizable Span & Height – Adaptable to different shipbuilding docks and workshops.
✔ Safety Compliance – Equipped with anti-collision systems, overload protection, and emergency brakes.
✔ Versatile Lifting – Compatible with spreader beams, hooks, and magnetic lifters for various loads.

Shipbuilding gantry crane is an essential and highly specialized piece of equipment designed specifically for the complex and demanding tasks within the shipbuilding industry. It plays a crucial role in the fragmented transport, end - to - end joint, and turning operation of large ship hulls.

In the process of fragmented transport, ship hulls are often constructed in sections in a shipyard's manufacturing facilities. These sections, which can be massive in size and weight, need to be moved precisely around the yard. The shipbuilding gantry crane, with its robust lifting capacity and large - span structure, is well - equipped for this task. It carefully hoists each hull section using specially designed lifting slings or clamps that are engineered to evenly distribute the weight and ensure a secure hold. The crane then navigates through the busy shipyard environment, avoiding other ongoing construction activities, to transport the hull sections to the assembly area. This fragmented transport is vital as it allows for more efficient construction, enabling different parts of the ship to be fabricated simultaneously in various areas of the yard.
