Portal Cranes
Portal cranes are used for industrial lifting applications where loads need to travel across a defined area and where a traditional overhead crane may not be the best fit. National Crane Solutions designs, manufactures, installs and services portal cranes for industrial clients across Australia.
Portal cranes can be designed as semi-portal or full portal crane systems depending on the site layout, lifting capacity, building structure, runway requirements, travel path, foundation conditions and operating environment.
Portal Cranes for Industrial Lifting
Portal cranes are commonly used in manufacturing facilities, heavy fabrication workshops, construction supply yards, mining support operations, pre-cast facilities, outdoor storage areas and industrial sites where traditional overhead crane layouts may not be suitable.
They are useful where loads need to travel across a defined area and where the crane structure needs to work around the building layout, foundations, workflow or outdoor conditions.
Semi Portal Cranes
A semi portal crane uses one elevated runway side and one floor-mounted travelling leg. This can be useful where part of the building or structure can support one side of the crane while the other side travels along a rail or floor-mounted runway.
Semi portal cranes can be a practical option for facilities that need lifting coverage near a building edge, production zone, loading area or fabrication bay.
Full Portal Cranes
A full portal crane is supported by legs on both sides and travels along rails or a defined runway path. Full portal cranes can be used indoors or outdoors, depending on the project requirements and operating environment.
They are commonly selected for open work areas, storage yards, heavy fabrication facilities, infrastructure suppliers and industrial sites where a self-supporting crane structure is required.
