MGB semi-gantry crane
The MGB semi-gantry crane from Chunhua Crane is a purpose-engineered lifting solution designed for industrial environments where one side of the crane must operate on an existing building structure while the other runs on a ground-level rail. This configuration is widely adopted by steel processors, heavy fabrication workshops, railway maintenance depots, and outdoor storage yards that require efficient material handling without the full structural investment of a traditional gantry system. The key strength of the MGB lies in its space-efficient design, which allows one leg to be supported by the workshop beam while the other leg travels on a floor-mounted track, delivering substantial cost savings in civil works while maintaining robust lifting performance.
The MGB semi-gantry crane is built to project-specific specifications, with capacity, span, and lifting height fully customized to match the operational requirements of each facility. Capacity typically ranges from 5 tons to 50 tons, though heavier configurations can be engineered upon request. Span is determined by the workshop width and the required clearance, generally available from 10 meters to 35 meters, with lifting heights from 6 meters to 18 meters or more. The crane is available in both single-girder and double-girder configurations, with the double-girder version offering greater rigidity and higher capacity for demanding applications. The main girder is fabricated from Q235B or Q345B steel, fully welded and stress-relieved to ensure structural stability. All electrical components are sourced from recognized international suppliers, with Schneider and Siemens as standard optional choices for the main control system, including variable frequency drives for smooth acceleration and deceleration. Control options include cabin operation, radio remote control, and pendant control, allowing the buyer to select the interface best suited to their workflow. Safety devices are comprehensive and include overload limiters, buffer stops, anti-collision systems, emergency stop buttons, and travel limit switches for both cross-travel and long-travel motions. Optional features such as magnet control, grab bucket operation, explosion-proof electricals, and corrosion-resistant paint systems are available for specialized environments.

The MGB semi-gantry crane serves a broad cross-section of heavy industries. Typical applications include steel mills for coil and slab handling, ports and rail terminals for container and bulk cargo transfer, heavy machinery assembly plants for positioning large components, precast concrete yards for mold and product movement, and logistics warehouses requiring high-density storage retrieval. The crane is equally effective in outdoor scrap yards and indoor production lines, where its asymmetrical support structure provides operational flexibility in constrained spaces.
Chunhua Crane offers direct factory pricing that typically undercuts European and Japanese brands by 30 to 50 percent, without compromising on engineering quality or component reliability. Founded in 2003, we have delivered over 10,000 cranes to industrial clients in more than 60 countries. All MGB cranes are manufactured in compliance with GB/T 3811 and GB/T 14406 Chinese national standards for crane design and safety, and we can provide CE certification for European markets, CCC certification for China, and FEM or DIN compliance documentation as required by the buyer. Every crane is custom-engineered to the client’s specific building dimensions and load requirements, and we provide a four-hour quotation turnaround from initial inquiry, including a preliminary CAD layout drawing for site integration.
To initiate a project inquiry, contact us via WhatsApp or email with your required capacity, span, lifting height, and preferred control mode. Our engineering team will respond within four hours with a detailed quotation and a preliminary CAD drawing showing the crane layout relative to your workshop dimensions. The ordering process begins with a 30 percent T/T deposit, followed by a production lead time of 30 to 45 days depending on complexity and current factory load. After production, we arrange sea freight to your port, with full documentation including packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin. Optional on-site installation and commissioning services can be arranged through our network of overseas service partners.
