Description
Heavy-Duty Mobile Lifting Gantry
The DALE Type B Steel Mobile Lifting Gantry is a robust, heavy-duty lifting solution engineered for demanding industrial environments where flexibility, high load capacity, and structural stability are essential. Manufactured by DALE Lifting & Handling Equipment, the Type B gantry combines precision engineering with a reinforced underbraced beam design to deliver reliable lifting performance for workshops, factories, maintenance facilities, and industrial sites.
Designed for Safe Working Loads from 2 tonnes to 5 tonnes, this mobile gantry system provides a practical alternative to fixed overhead lifting systems, allowing operators to safely lift, transport, and position heavy machinery and equipment in locations where permanent crane infrastructure is impractical or unavailable.
The underbraced beam configuration enhances rigidity and load stability, making the Type B gantry particularly suited to higher-capacity lifting operations and longer-span applications.
Heavy-Duty Underbraced Design for Increased Stability
The defining feature of the DALE Type B gantry is its reinforced underbraced beam structure. This design significantly improves structural rigidity, helping to minimise beam deflection and maintain safe load control during demanding lifting tasks.
The gantry can be configured in either:
- In-rigged (inward braced) layout
- Out-rigged (outward braced) layout
This flexibility allows the system to adapt to different site constraints, floor layouts, and operational requirements while maintaining excellent lifting stability.
The Type B range is available in:
- Seven clear spans from 3m to 6m
- Five under-beam heights from 3m to 5m
This wide configuration range enables the gantry to support everything from machinery installation and maintenance to fabrication handling and plant relocation.
Modular Construction for Mobility & Easy Assembly
Despite its heavy-duty lifting capability, the DALE Type B gantry is designed for portability and efficient deployment. The mechanically welded steel frame can be dismantled into three main sections, simplifying transportation, relocation, and storage when required.
The standard system includes:
- Heavy-duty swivel castors for smooth manoeuvrability
- Integrated parking jacks for secure stationary lifting
- Precision-engineered connections for straightforward assembly
This modular approach makes the gantry ideal for maintenance contractors, industrial engineering teams, and facilities requiring temporary or mobile lifting infrastructure.
Corrosion-Resistant Industrial Finish
The Type B Mobile Gantry is protected by a durable three-layer corrosion protection system with a RAL 1028 yellow polyurethane finish. This high-visibility industrial coating provides:
- Excellent resistance to corrosion and abrasion
- Long-term protection in harsh industrial environments
- Increased visibility for improved workplace safety
- Reduced maintenance requirements over time
The corrosion-resistant finish ensures dependable performance in workshops, manufacturing plants, warehouses, and semi-outdoor applications.
High Performance & Flexible Equipment Integration
Engineered for professional lifting operations, the DALE Type B gantry supports:
- Maximum hoisting speed: 16 m/min
- Maximum trolley travel speed: 10 m/min
The gantry is compatible with a wide range of lifting equipment and optional accessories, including:
- Manual chain hoists
- Electric wire rope hoists
- Powered trolley systems
- Lockable isolation switches
- Cable reel systems
- Hot-dip galvanised outdoor finishes
- Bespoke colour options
These optional upgrades allow the gantry to be configured for highly specific industrial lifting applications.
