Our Goliath & Semi-Goliath Cranes are perfect for Heavy Industrial Demands

At Granada Cranes, we understand the significance of heavy lifting solutions in large industrial settings, and that’s why we offer Goliath and Semi-Goliath cranes tailored to meet your specific needs.

Goliath Cranes

Goliath cranes, also known as gantry cranes, are large, versatile lifting machines used in shipyards and heavy industries to handle massive ship components, airplane parts, materials, and machinery. These cranes are built to move on tracks when neccesary.

Semi Goliath Cranes

Semi-goliath cranes, smaller counterparts to goliath cranes, offer heavy lifting capabilities with one end fixed on a runway and the other end moving on wheels or rails, making them ideal for construction, warehouses, and storage yards.

Key Differences Between Goliath and Semi-Goliath Cranes

Goliath Cranes: Goliath cranes are larger and more massive, typically supported on four legs or wheels. They can span significant distances and handle heavier loads due to their size and design.

Semi-Goliath Cranes: Semi-Goliath cranes are smaller and more compact in comparison. They have one end supported on a fixed runway structure while the other end moves on wheels or rails along the ground. They are designed for applications with more limited space or lower load capacities.

Goliath Cranes: Goliath cranes are capable of lifting and moving very heavy loads, making them suitable for heavy industrial applications, including shipyards and large manufacturing facilities.

Semi-Goliath Cranes: Semi-Goliath cranes have a lower load capacity compared to Goliath cranes. They are used for tasks that require heavy lifting but within confined spaces or with smaller load requirements.

Goliath Cranes: Goliath cranes are capable of lifting and moving very heavy loads, making them suitable for heavy industrial applications, including shipyards and large manufacturing facilities.

Semi-Goliath Cranes: Semi-Goliath cranes have a lower load capacity compared to Goliath cranes. They are used for tasks that require heavy lifting but within confined spaces or with smaller load requirements.

Goliath Cranes: Goliath cranes require a substantial and often permanent runway infrastructure to support their weight and span.

Semi-Goliath Cranes: Semi-Goliath cranes require less extensive runway infrastructure, making them more cost-effective and easier to install compared to full Goliath cranes.

Goliath Cranes: Goliath cranes are versatile and can be adapted for various applications with different types of lifting attachments and configurations.

Semi-Goliath Cranes: Semi-Goliath cranes are versatile within their load and space limitations, allowing customization with various attachments to suit specific needs.

Key Advantages of Floor Running Goliath Cranes

A primary advantage of floor running goliath cranes is the elimination of the need and associated costs for a complete gantry system. Though typically associated with outdoor applications, these cranes can be outfitted with additional features to enhance their functionality, such as:

  • Storm Anchors: To ensure stability during inclement weather conditions
  • Wind Speed Monitoring: To provide real-time data on wind conditions, ensuring safe crane operation
  • Weatherproofing: To protect the crane’s components from harsh environmental conditions
  • ‘Anti Trap’ Safety Limits: To enhance personnel safety and prevent accidents during crane operation
