A-Series Aluminum Gantry Crane – 4000 lbs Capacity Adjustable Height – USA Made

Description

The A-Series Aluminum Gantry Crane from B & C Industrial Products is a versatile, lightweight lifting solution designed for operations that demand flexibility and portability. This crane combines high strength with exceptional ease of movement, making it perfect for contractors, HVAC companies, equipment rental operations, and facilities that need to move their equipment between job sites or departments. With adjustable height and span capabilities, you can customize this model to fit your specific lifting needs without compromise.

Key Features

4,000 lb Lifting Capacity

This model handles 2-ton loads, making it ideal for moving HVAC units, heavy components, equipment assembly, and materials in manufacturing, maintenance, and service operations.

Adjustable Height Design

Height adjusts from 7′-7″ to 10′-1″ in 6-inch increments using spring-loaded steel locking pins. This flexibility lets you adapt the crane to uneven floors, different ceiling heights, doorway passages, and specific lifting requirements without repositioning or rebuilding.

Adjustable Span Capability

The standard adjustable span design lets you shorten the 10-foot span for transport down narrow aisles or expand it as needed for different load positioning. This flexibility means one unit can handle multiple job requirements.

Lightweight Aluminum Construction

• All-aluminum tubing using ASTM B308 6061-T6 specifications
• Weighs significantly less than steel alternatives
• One or two workers can move, assemble, and position the crane
• Perfect for transport in service trucks and field operations
• Naturally corrosion-resistant—ideal for refrigerated areas and harsh environments

Smooth, Controlled Movement

Four-position swivel-lock casters with moldon polyurethane wheels provide smooth rolling on any floor without surface damage. The caster locks in straight-line travel for controlled positioning.

High-Strength A-Frame Design

• Fully-braced aluminum A-frame for maximum stability
• Greater clear span—no four brace legs like other designs
• AWS Certified Welding Fabricator quality ensures every weld meets standards
• Engineered for L/450 deflection—minimal sag under full load

Meets All Standards

• OSHA 1910.179 compliant
• ANSI B30.17 certified
• CMAA 74 engineered
• 15% design factor for hoist weight, 25% for impact

Safety Information

⚠️ CRITICAL: This equipment lifts loads only—NOT people. Exceeding load limits can cause serious injury or death.

Operating Guidelines:

• Do not exceed 4,000 lb load limit
• Inspect system before each use
• Annual inspection required per OSHA
• Load must be directly under beam before lifting
• Keep load centered in beam at all times
• Never load on slopes or inclines
• Push the gantry, not the load
• Keep loads low when moving
• Bolt end stops in place before operation
• Do not adjust height or disassemble when under load
• Never stand under gantry during height adjustment

Perfect for Field Operations

Unlike fixed-height models, this aluminum gantry crane gives you the flexibility to adapt to real-world job site conditions. Uneven floors? Adjust the height. Need to fit through a doorway? Reduce the span. Working in a refrigerated facility? The corrosion-resistant aluminum handles it without issue. And when you’re done at one job site, one or two people can break down the equipment and load it into a service truck for transport to the next location.
