Applications Of Launching Gantry

The Function of Segment Launching Gantry Crane in Construction

The segment launching gantry is a vital component in construction, particularly in the application of the precast segmental bridge construction. This construction approach involves prefabricating bridge segments in a prefabrication factory first, and then transporting them to the bridge construction site for assembly. The primary function of the segmental launching gantry is to lift beam segments from the hydraulic transporter, transport them to the installation location, and install them onto preconstructed bridge piers.
