Description
Mobile Steel Lifting Gantry
The DALE Type A Steel Mobile Lifting Gantry is a versatile, high-performance lifting solution designed for safe and efficient material handling in workshops, factories, and environments where flexibility and portability are essential. Manufactured by DALE Lifting & Handling Equipment, this unbraced gantry system delivers dependable lifting capability while maintaining a lightweight, modular design suitable for frequent relocation and confined working areas.
With a working load limit ranging from 500kg to 2 tonnes, the Type A gantry provides a practical solution for light to medium-duty lifting applications, particularly where fixed overhead cranes are not available or feasible. Its unbraced beam design allows full-length hoist and trolley travel, ensuring maximum operational coverage and unrestricted load positioning along the span.
Flexible Design for Restricted and Mobile Lifting Applications
The DALE Type A gantry is specifically engineered for environments where space constraints, mobility requirements, or temporary lifting setups are critical factors. Its modular construction allows the frame to be dismantled into three main components, enabling quick transport, storage, and reassembly without specialist equipment.
Available configurations include:
- Six span options from 2.5m to 5.0m
- Six height-under-beam settings from 2.5m to 5.0m
- Adjustable geometry for site-specific lifting requirements
This adaptability ensures the gantry can be tailored to a wide variety of industrial lifting tasks, from machinery maintenance to production line support and equipment installation.
Robust Steel Construction & Smooth Mobility
Each gantry is manufactured from mechanically welded structural steel, designed to deliver long-term durability under repeated lifting cycles. The frame is engineered to maintain rigidity under load while still allowing straightforward disassembly for transport or repositioning between work areas.
Mobility is provided by heavy-duty white polyamide castors (rated up to 2 tonnes), offering:
- Smooth rolling performance on industrial floors
- Reduced floor marking and surface wear
- Accurate load positioning during operation
- Reliable movement even under load conditions
The combination of structural strength and mobility makes the Type A gantry a practical choice for mobile maintenance teams and production facilities requiring flexible lifting infrastructure.
Corrosion Protection & Industrial Finish
To ensure durability in demanding environments, the gantry is finished with a RAL 1028 yellow polyurethane coating system. This three-layer protective finish provides:
- Enhanced corrosion resistance
- High visibility for improved site safety
- Resistance to abrasion and industrial wear
- Long-term surface protection in indoor and semi-outdoor environments
This protective system ensures consistent performance even in harsh workshop or light outdoor conditions.
Operational Performance & Optional Equipment
The DALE Type A Mobile Gantry is designed to integrate seamlessly with a wide range of lifting equipment and accessories. It supports:
- Maximum hoisting speed: up to 16 m/min
- Trolley travel speed: up to 10 m/min
- Manual or electric hoists
- Powered or manual trolleys
Optional upgrades include:
- Electric hoists and motorised trolleys
- Lockable isolation switches
- Cable reel systems
- Hot-dip galvanised finish for outdoor use
- Custom colour finishes for site identification or branding
These options allow the gantry to be configured for specific operational environments, including manufacturing plants, maintenance workshops, and temporary installation projects.
