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
Common Product Uses
The A-Series Gantry Crane design is one of the most popular system options available from Spanco. And, as one of the original designs from the founding of the company, has stood the test of time as a reliable material handling solution. Many different users have implemented Spanco A-Series Gantry Cranes in a wide range of industries, including:- Manufacturing plants
- Machine shops
- Warehouses
- Construction
- Maintenance Facilities
-
Features of Spanco T-Series Gantry Cranes
- Superior Stability: Engineered design leaves I-beam free to pivot as it self-centers over the load. The “true A-frame” design helps to maintain greater stability, virtually eliminating the swaying motion common to other 3-way adjustable gantry designs. Main legs, brace legs, and caster frames are made of heavy-gauge, square tubing with zinc-plated hardware.
- Adjustable Span: Exclusive Spanloc™ design securely holds the I-beam during adjustments and when set.
- Cantilever Options: Deliver materials through end of gantry; cantilever up to 25 percent of the rated capacity (4-foot max.) using a counterweight.
- Adjustable Height: Adjust in 6-inch intervals using push/pull pins on main legs.
- Adjustable Tread: A cable assembly is bolted inside the caster frame tubes to prevent overspreading.
- Heavy-Duty Casters: Four position, swivel-lock casters with moldon polyurethane wheels protect floors from damage.
Common Uses
Spanco is proud to serve customers in various industries, such as Space Exploration Technologies or SpaceX. SpaceX designs rockets and spacecraft and manufactures over half of its vehicles in-house. Their facility contains several work areas, including fabrication, machining, construction, and assembly cells. Workers at the facility needed a material handling solution to move heavy loads throughout their facility with increased accuracy and precision. That solution came in the form of a two-ton Spanco T-Series Gantry Crane. The T-Series Gantry Crane also provides greater adjustability to meet the rapidly changing size requirements within the SpaceX facility. Investing in a T-Series Gantry Crane allows SpaceX to improve production time and processing. By implementing the T-Series Gantry Crane, SpaceX could combine flexibility and precision while maintaining lift and cost-efficiency. -

Air chain hoists provide a safer and more convenient solution for lifting and moving heavy loads, particularly in environments that are flammable, dusty, or dirty. These hoists operate without electricity, eliminating the risk of electrical arcing and potential explosions. In areas where hazardous substances are present, such as paint booths and petrochemical facilities, it is recommended to use a spark-resistant model. Air chain hoists are specifically designed for heavy industrial lifting tasks, offering exceptional load control through pilot air and spring-loaded vanes. Despite their robust capabilities, these hoists maintain a compact and lightweight design, making them suitable for various job requirements. Rest assured, you will find the ideal air chain hoist to meet your specific needs.

Spanco Alu-Track® is made from lightweight aluminum enclosed track to provide super-responsive crane performance.
- The entire length of the top side of the track accepts hangers. The aluminum tracks are easily and precisely aligned.
- The internally tapered track self-centers trolleys and end trucks, so rolling movement is smooth, quiet, and highly ergonomic.
- Clean environments
- Refrigerated areas, including food packaging applications
- Moisture-laden environments
- Acidic environments (but not for base/alkaline)
- R&D labs
- Wherever lightweight, durable enclosed track is required

These Spanco All-Aluminum Gantries quickly assemble and disassemble, making them popular with contractors who need highly mobile lift equipment that they can take in their service trucks. Just one or two workers can typically move a disassembled crane up stairways, onto roofs, or in other challenging locations. When on location, the gantry cranes are rapidly assembled, ready to lift, and able to position heavy objects precisely, such as bulky HVAC units. Because they are corrosion resistant, aluminum gantries are also ideal for refrigerated areas and other controlled environments, making them increasingly popular with HVAC contractors.
