Even the best gantries in the world can be a pain to put together. We totally get it.
That’s why we designed the Gantry Assembly Aid. It’s designed to make erecting and dismantling our PORTAGANTRY® systems an absolute breeze. You’ll be able to reduce installation time, as well as manual handling requirements, with this new piece of equipment.
The Gantry Assembly Aid is ideal for our intermediate and above-height gantries, but can also be used for our low-height versions if you have some extra time on your hands!
Assembly Efficiency, front-of-mind.

Festoon System
Our Festoon System has been designed to keep electric hoist power cords safely away from lifting operations and stored neatly along the gantry beam. The Universal Festoon Kit includes all the required components including; trollies, wire rope and fasteners. By then adding the power cable the system is ready for use.
Lobed Cheek Plates
Our Lobed Cheek Plates allow for ease of assembly when adjusting the operating span of the Gantry. The modified Cheek Plates allow the clear operating span to be adjusted by moving one frame in, whilst still allowing the standard assembly method of raising the PORTAGANTRY® from the ground up to be observed.
Directional Lock Castors
Our Directional Lock Castors allow for our swivel castors to be made into a fixed castor temporarily - by locking the swivel head but not the wheel which means castor moves in one direction. Directional locking castors are great for cornering or pivoting.
Winch Conversion Kit
Our Gantry beams are prepared to accept a sheave carrier and A-frames a wide range of winch brackets. This Winch Conversion kit enables our PORTAGANTRY® to be converted for winched use for either goods or personnel lifting.
Wind-up Jack Legs
Our Wind-up Jack Legs offer infinite additional height adjustment up to 10”. The Wind-up Jack Legs offer independent adjustment for use as a levelling system on uneven ground. The Jack Leg retracts beyond the base of the castors and so does not restrict the movement of the system.
Ratchet Height Adjustment
The Ratchet Height Adjustment provides a mechanical aid for raising and lowering the height of the Gantry beam. The Ratchet Height Adjustment is a standard feature on our robust 11,000lb PORTAGANTRY® and our customers can add this feature as an option to our entire Gantry range.
Trolley Rope Control System
Our Rope Control System allows precise control over the movement of the load trolley from a safe location next to the A-frame. By utilizing a series of pullies and a hand winch a mechanical advantage is added to the system reducing the effort during operations. This system not only adds a method of controlled movement of the load but also removes the need to manually handle the lifted load increasing the safety of the system
