Description

Overview of the PF-Series Manual Steel Gantry Crane

The Spanco PF-Series Manual Steel Gantry Crane from B & C Industrial Products delivers high-capacity lifting for demanding industrial operations. This fixed-height model uses steel construction and proven design to handle heavy loads efficiently. It’s ideal for manufacturing, equipment assembly, steel fabrication, and maintenance work where you need serious lifting power without permanent building modifications.

Key Features

6,000 lb Lifting Capacity This gantry crane handles 3-ton loads, making it suitable for moving large components, equipment, and materials in heavy manufacturing and industrial settings.

Smart Dimensions At 12′-10″ in both height and span, this gantry crane provides the vertical clearance and reach needed for large items in tight spaces where traditional overhead cranes don’t fit.

Steel Built to Last

• All-steel construction using ASTM A-36 specifications
• Fully-welded frame design minimizes flex and maximizes stability
• AWS Certified shop ensures every weld meets industry standards
• Engineered for L/600 deflection—minimal sag under full load

Multiple Drive Options The PF-Series accepts several motorized configurations:

• V-Groove Track Drives for straight-line floor travel
• Guide Angle Drives for wall-mounted setups
• Crane Rail Drives for high-speed operation
• Truly Trackless (Aligning) Drives for clear shop floors
