UK-based industrial lifting equipment provider Lloyds Beal has completed the installation of two 2000kg gantry cranes on a 15m gantry.
The company has delivered the project from initial design to final assembly, including the addition of a black protective cap on the floor studs.
According to Lloyds Beal, the project highlights the role of enhancing lifting capacity while maintaining operational flexibility and safety in long-span areas.
The tandem setup of the cranes facilitates heavy-duty lifting across the entire 15m length, enabling an effective integration of design and practical application.
Lloyds Beal, in a LinkedIn post, said: “We’re proud to share the successful installation of a pair of tandem 2000kg gantry cranes on a 15m long gantry, delivered by Lloyds Beal from initial design all the way to the last black protective cap on the floor studs.
“The tandem configuration allows for heavy-duty lifting with added versatility, ensuring smooth operations across the full 15m length. A great example of smart design meeting practical application.”
Lloyds Beal specialises in LOLER (lifting operations and lifting equipment regulations)-compliant lifting equipment and crane installations.
Operating from its main depot in South Wales, the company also maintains locations in Southampton, Poole, Plymouth, and Kent, with plans for further expansion.
The firm offers a range of lifting equipment and fabrication services with a focus on rapid delivery and competitive pricing.
In July this year, Lloyds Beal upgraded a century-old coil shed for D. Hughes Doors by installing a new overhead gantry crane.
The project involved dismantling a 30-ton high-bay lattice crane, weighing around 35,000 kg, which posed challenges due to size constraints and limited headroom.
Lloyds Beal has fabricated a new 5,000kg overhead gantry crane at its facility in Caerphilly, Wales, to meet the client’s specifications.
The new crane, featuring inverter-driven motors and a Street Crane ZX wire rope hoist, with the client’s branding, is said to enhance the building’s lifting capabilities.
