Shrusti Semi Gantry Crane is an engineered freestanding lifting system for lifting where one side of the bay can use building support and the other requires a ground leg. It is best suited to mixed-support layouts that need coverage without a fully freestanding gantry. The final configuration is not selected from a fixed SKU; it is defined around the actual load, operating route, duty cycle and site interface. During the engineering review, Shrusti confirms load weight and geometry, required coverage area, yard or bay dimensions, ground and foundation condition, then develops the arrangement, controls, guarding and installation scope around the approved application. Options such as span, height and travel length, single or double girder arrangement, rail-travelling or fixed configuration can be incorporated where technically appropriate. Final capacity, dimensions, power and performance parameters are issued through the quotation and approved drawing package.

Buying guide
Start with the heaviest load, its dimensions and the required movement or coverage for the Semi Gantry Crane.
Confirm the site interface: yard or bay dimensions, ground and foundation condition and available power or structure.
Review operating frequency, operator workflow and safety-zone requirements before selecting the drive and controls.
Compare against Single Girder Gantry Crane, Double Girder Gantry Crane where the mounting, duty or coverage requirement may favour a different arrangement.
Use the quotation and approved drawing as the final technical basis; do not procure civil or structural work from preliminary dimensions.

FAQs
Questions to resolve before quotation.
How is the Semi Gantry Crane sized?
The Semi Gantry Crane is sized from the actual load, required movement or coverage, duty cycle and site interface. Final capacity and dimensions are confirmed after Shrusti reviews load weight and geometry, required coverage area, yard or bay dimensions, ground and foundation condition.
Is a site survey required for the Semi Gantry Crane?
Required. A survey or engineer review is used to verify dimensions, support conditions, access, power, operating clearances and installation constraints before the final quotation.
What technical information is needed to quote the Semi Gantry Crane?
Share load weight and geometry, required coverage area, yard or bay dimensions, ground and foundation condition, travel path, height restrictions. Layouts, photographs and existing drawings help the engineering team produce a more accurate initial proposal.
Can the Semi Gantry Crane be customised?
Yes. The scope can be configured around span, height and travel length, single or double girder arrangement, rail-travelling or fixed configuration, hoist and control system, cable festoon or electrification method, subject to engineering review and the approved drawing.
What safety provisions apply to the Semi Gantry Crane?
Safety provisions are selected for the application and may include guarding, access control, limits, emergency controls, restraints or structural checks. The final list is stated in the technical offer and approved scope.
Does Shrusti handle installation and support for the Semi Gantry Crane?
Yes. The quotation can include installation, testing, commissioning, operator handover, AMC and spares support where these services are required for the project.
What is a Semi Gantry Crane used for?
Shrusti Semi Gantry Crane is an engineered system used for lifting where one side of the bay can use building support and the other requires a ground leg. Its capacity, dimensions, drive, controls and installation interface are selected from the published engineering range and confirmed in the technical offer.
Is the Semi Gantry Crane a standard product?
Shrusti Semi Gantry Crane is quote-led and engineered to order. The final specification is based on load, route, duty cycle, site structure, access and safety requirements rather than a fixed online configuration.
How do I request a Semi Gantry Crane?
Use Request Quote or Book Site Survey and share the load, dimensions, movement path, operating frequency and site photographs. Shrusti will convert those inputs into a technical proposal and approved configuration.
