200 Ton Gantry (portal) Crane for Outdoor Yard

2026-01-30
The 200-ton heavy-duty outdoor gantry crane is a high-performance material handling solution designed specifically for large open-air work sites. The 200-ton heavy-duty gantry crane comes standard with a main and auxiliary double hook system (200-ton main hook, 32/50-ton auxiliary hooks), coupled with a full AC variable frequency stepless speed control drive, ensuring smooth and precise lifting and running, significantly improving the efficiency of heavy equipment installation, large component loading and unloading, and steel logistics transfer. For complex outdoor environments, the machine has been comprehensively reinforced: the main structure adopts a heavy-duty anti-corrosion coating process and integrates multiple active windproof safety systems, including wind-resistant and anti-slip brakes and rigid anchoring devices, ensuring safety and reliability in harsh weather conditions. It is an ideal heavy-duty lifting equipment for large and medium-sized ports, heavy equipment manufacturing, energy construction, and logistics hubs.

There are two main structural types of 200-ton gantry cranes, and the choice depends on your site, budget, and usage requirements:
200t Box Type gantry crane
Advantages: High structural rigidity, good stability, mature manufacturing process, and clean appearance. Suitable for large spans, heavy loads, and frequent use.
Disadvantages: Higher self-weight, higher requirements for foundations and rails, and relatively higher cost.
Suitable for: Box Girder gantry crane for Steel mills, logistics parks, heavy machinery manufacturing, and other sites with frequent fixed operations.

200t Truss-Type gantry crane
Advantages: Lighter self-weight, lower wind resistance, less material usage, and generally lower cost than box type gantry cranes.
Disadvantages: More complex appearance and structure, more maintenance points (such as bolt inspection), and more sensitive to corrosion.
Suitable for: Coastal/open sites where self-weight and cost are sensitive, usage frequency is not extremely high, or there are significant wind resistance requirements.

Weihua Crane Group's official recommendation: For 200-ton heavy-duty applications, the Box Type gantry crane is usually the more mainstream and reliable choice due to its higher rigidity and stability.
