Gantry Crane, Non-Power Drive

SKU
PGC
BHS Portable Gantry Cranes are an excellent solution for the safe vertical extraction of most standard lift truck batteries. More cost effective than bridge cranes, the Non-Power Drive Gantry Crane is portable and powerful. The modular design allows for easy system expansion.

The BHS Non-Power Gantry Crane provides safe and easy vertical extraction for most standard forklift batteries. This cost-efficient gantry saves time and money by speeding up change-outs and keeping your fleet moving. Choose between a 2-ton or 3-ton capacity gantry crane with a variety of beam span lengths available.

BHS designs all products with worker safety as a high priority. Cable Festoon Kits protect staff by securing cables during operation of manual trolley. We use steel components for a more rugged and durable product that can safely lift a 2- or 3-ton battery, depending on model. For quality assurance, BHS inspects each gantry before shipping.

BHS gantries are modular to allow for system expansion. Models are available in 2-foot increments from 10 to 18 feet. The Non-Power Gantry Crane comes standard with 8-inch swivel casters, and floor mounts or rigid phenolic casters are available as optional features.

Simplify battery changing with a BHS gantry. Contact our sales team at 1.800.BHS.9500 to find out more about the Non-Power Gantry Crane or to find a local dealer.

Fleet Tracker’s touchscreen HMI mounted to the Automatic Transfer Carriage guides users to charged batteries, posts maintenance reminders, and updates the status of battery assets to the cloud. The Fleet Tracker system improves battery health, improves change-out efficiency, and gives managers the real-time data they need to eliminate waste by matching assets to needs exactly.
