Features of Spanco A-Series Steel Gantry Cranes

• Crane Height Adjustments: Adjusting in 6-inch increments, height adjustment kits use spring-loaded steel locking pins that automatically engage when height positioning holes are reached; adjust heights for specific lifts, uneven floors, or to move through doorways
• Adjustable Spans: Standard on aluminum cranes, adjustable spans are optional on steel cranes; adjustable spans allow the crane to be shortened for transport down narrow aisles
• Heavy-Duty Casters: Four-position, swivel-lock casters with moldon polyurethane wheels provide excellent floor protection

Spanco A-Series Gantry Cranes have greater clear spans because they don’t require four brace legs like our T-Series. (NOTE: If you need the ability to adjust the crane’s tread, see our T-Series Gantry Cranes.)

Many different users have implemented Spanco A-Series Gantry Cranes in a wide range of industries, including:

• Manufacturing plants

• Maintenance Facilities

Consolidated Sterilizer Systems: As a high-volume manufacturer of precision equipment, Consolidated Sterilizer Systems needed material handling equipment that was both robust and precise. A complete system of Spanco cranes, including an Adjustable-Height A-Series Gantry Crane, provided the lifting flexibility and pinpoint maneuverability they required.

Bassett Industries: A large-scale metal fabrication facility in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, Bassett Industries was in need of more lifting capacity for jobs with heavy material. They implemented a ten-ton Spanco A-Series Gantry Crane that allowed workers to lift and move large stainless steel plates.
