Even the best gantries in the world can be a pain to put together. We totally get it. 

That's why we designed the Gantry Assembly Aid. It's designed to make erecting and dismantling our Porta Gantry systems an absolute breeze. You'll be able to reduce installation time, as well as manual handling requirements, with this new piece of equipment. 

The Gantry Assembly Aid is ideal for our intermediate and above-height gantries, but can also be used for our low-height versions if you have some extra time on your hands! 

Assembly Efficiency, front-of-mind.

Festoon System

Our Festoon System has been designed to keep electric hoist power cords safely away from lifting operations and stored neatly along the gantry beam. The universal Festoon System includes all the required components including; trollies, wire rope and fasteners. By then adding the power cable the system is ready for use.

Lobed Cheek Plates

Our Lobed Cheek Plates allow for ease of assembly when adjusting the operating span of the PORTAGANTRY system. The modified cheek plates allow the clear operating span to be adjusted by moving one frame in, whilst still allowing the standard assembly methods to be observed.

Ratchet Height Adjustment

Our Ratchet Height Adjustment provides a mechanical aid for raising and lowering the height of the Gantry beam. The Ratchet Height Adjustment comes as a standard feature on a range of A-frames and can be added as a feature on our entire PORTAGANTRY product range. See details in dimensions table.

Winch Conversion Kit

Our Gantry beams are prepared to accept a sheave carrier and A-frames a wide range of winch brackets. This Winch Conversion kit enables our Gantry to be converted for winched use for either goods or personnel lifting.

Directional Lock Castors

Our Directional Lock Castors allow for our swivel castors to be made into a fixed castor temporarily - by locking the swivel head but not the wheel which means the castor moves in one direction. Directional locking castors are great for cornering or pivoting.

Shackled Cheek Plates

The shackled cheek plate has an integrated shackle pull point which allows for the attachment of a mechanical aid such as a chain hoist to control the movement of a loaded trolley along the beam. By utilising a chain hoist to connect the trolley to the shackle the effort required to move a load during a lifting operation will be significantly reduced. This enables controlled movement of a load and ensures gantry stability when traversing a load along a beam.

Wind-up Jack Legs

Our Wind-up Jack Legs offer infinite additional height adjustment up to 250mm. The Wind-up Jack Legs offer independent adjustment for use as a levelling system on uneven ground. The Wind-up Jack Leg retracts beyond the base of the castors and so does not restrict the movement of the system.

Trolley Rope Control System

Our Rope Control System allows precise control over the movement of the load trolley from a safe location next to the A-frame. By utilising a series of pullies and a hand winch a mechanical advantage is added to the system reducing the effort during operations. This system not only adds a method of controlled movement of the load but also removes the need to manually handle the lifted load increasing the safety of the system.
