Warehouse gantry cranes can be an ideal replacement for overhead cranes because they are able to operate on the ground instead of traveling on overhead tracks. Therefore, warehouse gantry cranes do not require the construction of any supporting columns or overhead tracks.

In warehouses, gantry cranes have a wide range of applications. Gantry cranes can be used for loading and unloading of goods in warehouses. They can lift and move heavy cargo, such as pallets, containers and large boxes, from and into trucks or containers.
