Who builds gantry cranes for Bhilwara and Jodhpur plants?
R K Engineering Works, Jaipur, builds gantry and goliath cranes for Bhilwara and Jodhpur. We visit the site, size the crane to your load, span and duty, design it to IS 3177 and IS 807 with wind checked to IS 875 (Part 3), install it, and hand it over after a 125% load test with a full document set.
Survey, erection and service visits to Bhilwara and Jodhpur are planned from our Jaipur works, so you deal with the engineers who design your crane.
What is a gantry crane and when do you need one?
A gantry crane is a bridge crane that stands on its own legs and runs on rails at ground level. It does not need building columns or a runway girder. You need one when the work area is outdoors, when the building cannot take crane loads, or when you want to lift in a yard, a rail siding or a loading area.
- Bhilwara: textile machinery and beam handling, cement and mineral plants, steel and fabrication yards.
- Jodhpur: sandstone and granite yards, handicraft and furniture units, steel stock yards and fabrication shops.
- Both: precast concrete yards, workshop extensions and loading bays where a building crane is not possible.
Which type of gantry crane should you choose?
| Type | How it works | Where it fits in Bhilwara and Jodhpur |
|---|---|---|
| Single girder gantry | One girder, wire rope hoist runs under it | Light to medium loads in open yards |
| Double girder goliath | Two girders, crab runs on top | Heavy stone blocks, steel and long spans |
| Semi-gantry | One leg on rail, other side on a building column | Yards next to a strong shed wall |
| Portable gantry | Small frame on wheels | Workshops and maintenance bays |
For a side-by-side view, read our guide on gantry vs semi-gantry vs goliath crane.
What details do we need to design your crane?
| Input | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Safe working load in ton | Sizes the girders, wheels, hoist and motors |
| Span between rails | Sets girder depth and deflection limit |
| Lift height | Sets leg height and rope drum length |
| Long travel length of the yard | Sets rail length and power feed (cable reel or DSL) |
| Duty: lifts per hour and hours per day | Sets duty class M3 to M8 under IS 3177 |
| Site wind and dust | Sets wind load, rail clamps, motor and panel protection |
| Cantilever needed on one or both sides | Lets the hook reach trucks or racks outside the rails |
Not sure about the duty class? See our EOT crane duty class guide; the same classes apply to gantry cranes.
How do we choose the right crane for your site? 6 steps
- Site survey of the yard, ground level, existing structures and power supply.
- Load study of the heaviest load, the usual load and the number of lifts.
- Type selection between single girder, double girder goliath, semi-gantry or portable.
- Engineering drawings: general arrangement, wheel loads and rail details for your civil team.
- Factory build and test of the structure, hoist and panel at our Jaipur works.
- Erection, commissioning and 125% load test at site, with test records and manual.
How is a gantry crane built for Rajasthan heat, dust and wind?
- Wind: structure checked to IS 875 (Part 3); anemometer alarm and rail clamps for storm conditions.
- Heat: motors and panels rated for high ambient temperature; panel shaded and ventilated.
- Dust: enclosed panels, sealed limit switches and protected motors for stone and cement dust.
- Safety: overload limit switch, hoist and travel limit switches, buffers, warning horn and lights, and radio remote control where needed.
What tests and documents do you receive?
| Stage | What you get |
|---|---|
| Design | GA drawing, structural design to IS 807, wheel loads for civil work |
| Factory | Material records, weld and dimension checks, panel test |
| Site | Commissioning report, load test at 125% of rated load, test certificate |
| Handover | Operation and maintenance manual, spare parts list, training for operators |
Read what the load test proves in our guide to the EOT crane load test at 125%.
Gantry crane vs EOT crane: which is better for your plant?
| Point | Gantry crane | EOT crane |
|---|---|---|
| Support | Own legs on ground rails | Runway girders on building columns |
| Location | Outdoor yards and open areas | Inside a shed or factory bay |
| Building load | None on the building | Building must carry crane loads |
| Civil work | Rail foundation beams | Strong columns and runway girders |
If your work is inside a shed, see our EOT crane guide for Jodhpur. For the full range, see our gantry and goliath crane manufacturer in Rajasthan page.
Who services gantry cranes after installation?
We do. After handover we provide planned maintenance through our crane AMC, spares support, and modernisation of older cranes. Regular checks of the rope, brakes, wheels, rails and limit switches keep a gantry crane safe in the dust and heat of Bhilwara and Jodhpur.
