Description
Light Steel Mobile Lifting Gantry
The DALE PORTC Workshop Light Steel Gantry is a highly manoeuvrable and ergonomically designed lifting solution developed for precision load handling in workshops, assembly areas, maintenance facilities, and light manufacturing environments. Manufactured by DALE Lifting & Handling Equipment, the PORTC combines lightweight steel construction with advanced crane technology to deliver smooth, quiet, and efficient lifting performance for everyday industrial applications.
Designed for Safe Working Loads from 250kg to 1 tonne, the PORTC gantry is engineered using the advanced Erikkila PROSYSTEM® Light Crane System, providing exceptional strength-to-weight performance while maintaining extremely low rolling resistance for effortless operation.
Its compact mobile design makes it ideal for facilities requiring flexible lifting capability without the cost or permanence of fixed overhead crane systems.
Advanced Light Crane Technology for Smooth Operation
The DALE PORTC gantry incorporates optimised 125 mm and 200 mm steel crane profiles from the Erikkila PROSYSTEM® range, delivering excellent rigidity and lightweight performance.
A key feature of the system is the patented hoist trolley, designed to operate with rolling resistance of approximately 1% of the moved load. This enables:
- Exceptionally smooth trolley travel
- Precise load positioning
- Reduced operator effort
- Near-silent operation
- Improved workplace ergonomics
This low-resistance movement makes the PORTC particularly suitable for precision assembly work, light manufacturing, and repetitive lifting operations where smooth handling is essential.
Lightweight Mobile Gantry for Workshop Flexibility
The PORTC Workshop Gantry is designed for maximum mobility and ease of use in indoor industrial environments. The mechanically welded steel structure can be dismantled into three main sections, allowing fast installation, easy relocation, and compact storage when not in use.
The gantry is mounted on four swivel castors with durable white polyamide wheels, providing:
- Smooth movement across workshop floors
- Excellent manoeuvrability in confined spaces
- Reduced floor marking
- Quiet transportation between workstations
This portable configuration makes the PORTC ideal for maintenance departments, assembly stations, production cells, and light engineering workshops.
Precision Lifting for Industrial & Assembly Applications
Designed for indoor use only, the DALE PORTC delivers dependable lifting performance for a wide range of professional handling applications, including:
- Assembly line lifting operations
- Component handling and positioning
- Workshop maintenance tasks
- Production machinery servicing
- Light fabrication work
- Engineering and manufacturing support
The gantry is available in spans from 2m to 5m and heights up to 3.5m to the underside of the beam, allowing it to adapt to varying workspace layouts and lifting requirements.
Each unit is supplied ready for operation complete with:
- Load trolley
- Power supply cable
- User & Maintenance Manual
- EC Certificate of Compliance
Durable Corrosion-Resistant Finish
To ensure long-term reliability in industrial environments, the PORTC gantry is protected with a durable three-layer corrosion protection system finished in high-visibility RAL 1028 yellow polyurethane coating.
This industrial-grade finish provides:
- Resistance to corrosion and abrasion
- Long-lasting durability in workshop conditions
- Improved visibility for operational safety
- Reduced maintenance requirements
The protective finish helps maintain both the structural integrity and professional appearance of the gantry over extended service life.
