Magco Cranes

MAGCO- GOLIATH CRANES / GANTRY CRANES are self propelled cranes running on rails installed at ground level. The above image shows two such cranes working in tandem.
Such cranes are used at -

• Construction sites
  Ports and harbors 
• Workshops where existing columns cannot bear the wheel loads of a bridge crane
• Workshops with low roof tie height that might restrict the height of lift of a regular bridge crane
• Locations where bay lengths are excessive
• Locations where bay lengths do not remain constant
• Sites / projects where crane itself needs to be relocated from one place to another
• Locations where loads are to be shifted from points outside the crane span as in the case of an overhang on either side of the rails 

  
 
In workshops where part utilization of shop bay is required (as in a tool room attached to a press shop), a Semi-Goliath/Gantry Crane is used. In such a configuration one end-carriage of the crane will travel on the regular gantry rail while the opposite end-carriage will travel on a rail mounted typically on the ground or at a lower elevation.

A Goliath/Gantry Crane is typically more expensive than an equivalent EOT Bridge Crane. However in almost all the relevant cases as mentioned above, a cost analysis shows that it is cheaper to go in for a Goliath / Gantry Crane as against a Bridge Crane. The cost analysis can be done by taking into consideration the following - 

• Cost of Gantry Girders that are required in case of a Bridge Crane
• Cost of Columns required for supporting the above Gantry Girders
• Difference in costs of civil foundation for columns (for Bridge Cranes) versus civil foundation for gantry rails (in Goliath / Gantry Cranes)
• Difference in Down Shop Leads cost of Bridge Crane versus Cable Reeling Drum and Cable Cost for a Goliath / Gantry Crane
• Goliath / Gantry Cranes can be either of the Single Girder type or Double Girder type

Standard Features of Magco Cranes' Goliath / Gantry Cranes -

• Optimum design ensuring minimum Dead Weight, Wheel Loads, Head Rooms and Clearances, reducing building costs.

• Forged runner wheels on Spherical Roller Bearings, resulting in long trouble free service.

• Hobbed and Run-In Heat Treated Gears machined from High Carbon Steel / Alloy Steels to ensure smooth, silent and durable service.

• Wide range of Heights of Lift, Hoisting, Cross & Long Travel Speeds to suit every operational requirement.

• Amply proportioned Main Girders and Legs of Box section, fabricated from IS 2062 plates that have undergone rigorous quality testing. All butt welds are 100% radio graphed. Main Girders and Legs further stiffened with long and short diaphragms.

• End Carriages are made either from rolled sections or fabricated from plates.

• 2 Legs are of flexible design while the opposite 2 Legs are of rigid design. Flexible Legs are joined to the Main Girders through hinged joints.

• All Legs are braced.

• Well proportioned Live Axle Type Runner Wheels on "L" type bearing housings.

• Three main varieties of jib cranes are available. Free standing (self-supported), wall bracket mounting, and king post mounting, in capacities upto 10,000 kg

• All jib cranes are designed  maintaining working stress well within the limits as per available and relevant i. S. Specifications. Deflections of jib arm can be restricted as per customers actual need, based on cost and design. Magco jib cranes are designed  to occupy minimum floor space and maximum approaches. Easy erection features are in-built characteristics. All self-supported models can be wired internally rom isolators to jib arm through slip rings, thus making the crane safer

• Predetermined machine locations and pilot pads make it easier in erection and alignment of every jib crane. In most cases, jib arms are adjusted by single nut, tie rods.

• All jib cranes are fitted with self-alignment anti-friction ball/roller bearings for efficient and smoother service for long periods

• Special tailor-made jib cranes can be designed to suit the exact requirement of lifting application

• a full range of accessories like slip-ring units, swivel limiters, adjustable stops, out-door covers, motorized swivels, manual/electric, chain/rope lifting tackles all types of slings, clamps, lifting beams etc. Can also be supplied

• Full support of our independent service/after-sales wing specialized  in erection and maintenance  of these equipment is offered with every sale
