Christopher, one of our customers inPakistan, said it would be nice if we had a factory in Pakistan. At present, if Pakistani customers need to buy cranes, we need to understand the demand and produce them in Chinese factories, and then transport them to Pakistan through logistics. Christopher’s words not only recognized the quality of our cranes, but also expressed his helplessness over the long cross-border transportation time.
Recently, he is looking for a suitable crane for a construction site, which needs a lifting height of 4m and a lifting capacity of 5t. Our engineers finally recommended this 5T portable gantry crane after seeing their site planning.
5 ton gantry crane, similar to other light-duty cranes, is made up of basic gantry type crane structures and two quiet casters with brakes, and the casters can achieve poly-directional movement. According to its own characteristics, 5 ton crane is also known as portable gantries or mobile gantries.
