What Is a Hydraulic Gantry?

A hydraulic gantry is a portable, modular lifting system that uses hydraulic cylinders and telescoping legs to lift and move heavy loads vertically and laterally. These systems are ideal for heavy rigging jobs where traditional cranes are too large or where headroom is limited.

Enerpac’s hydraulic gantries feature advanced control systems, integrated self-contained power units, and a wide range of lift capacities—from 125 tons to over 1,100 tons—making them suitable for complex heavy lifting challenges.

Enerpac Hydraulic Gantry Models

Enerpac manufactures several gantry system series tailored to specific industrial needs:

• SBL-Series Gantries (Super Boom Lift):
  High-capacity systems with telescoping booms. Ideal for tight headroom and precision lifts up to 1,100 tons.

• SL-Series Gantries (Super Lift):
  Cost-effective systems for standard lifting applications, with capacities from 125 to 500 tons. Commonly used in equipment installation and mill maintenance.

• ML-Series Gantries (Mega Lift):
  Designed for extremely heavy loads and demanding industrial jobs. These gantries offer synchronized lifting and lateral travel on tracks or skid systems.

• Hydraulic Travel Systems:
  Paired with self-propelled dollies or track systems, Enerpac gantries can also move loads horizontally across the job site.

All Enerpac gantry systems include synchronized control units that ensure even lifting across multiple legs, preventing tilting or imbalance.

Key Features of Enerpac Hydraulic Gantries

Enerpac Gantries are engineered for reliability, safety, and performance. Key features include:

• High Lift Capacities: Models available for 125 to 1,100+ tons

• Telescoping Legs and Booms: Multi-stage lift heights for space-limited environments

• Self-contained Hydraulic Power Units (HPUs): Simplified setup and power supply

• Synchronized Lifting: Precision movement via wireless or wired control systems

• Modular Design: Easy to transport, install, and configure for different site conditions

• Optional Travel Systems: For precise horizontal movement of loads

These systems are compliant with industry safety standards and are designed for quick deployment.

Typical Applications of Hydraulic Gantries

Hydraulic gantries are indispensable in environments where traditional lifting methods are either impractical or unavailable. Common applications include:

• Transformer installation and removal

• Turbine and generator positioning in power plants

• Industrial press and stamping equipment installation

• Bridge and structural component lifting

• Shipbuilding and marine heavy lifts

• Relocation of CNC machines and large manufacturing systems

• Mining equipment installation and repair

Because of their flexibility and precision, Enerpac gantries are often the preferred solution in delicate or restricted lifting environments.
