Overview

Goliath Crane.

The Goliath (gantry) Crane runs on two legs on ground rails, needing no overhead building structure — ideal for open storage and fabrication yards. Cantilevers can extend coverage beyond the rails.

Built in single- or double-girder gantry form for heavy loads up to ~100 tonnes over large spans, designed to IS 3177 / IS 807, weatherised for outdoor service and load-tested at 125% of SWL.

Advantages

Why a LOADMATE goliath.

No building needed

Stands on its own ground rails — ideal for open yards with no overhead structure.

Heavy & large-span

Single- or double-girder gantry handles heavy loads over wide outdoor spans.

Cantilever reach

Optional cantilevers extend coverage beyond the rail tracks.

Outdoor-engineered

Weatherised paint, canopies, cable management and rail clamps for reliable outdoor service.

Smooth long-travel

VFD long-travel drives give soft start/stop and anti-sway over long rails.

Built & tested in-house

Designed to IS 3177 / 807, load-tested at 125% of SWL.

Configurations

Two ways to specify it.

Single-girder gantry

One gantry girder — economical for light-to-medium outdoor handling.

Best for: Storage yards and lighter fabrication.

Double-girder gantry

Two girders for higher capacity, large spans and cantilevers.

Best for: Precast, heavy fabrication and port-side handling.

Standards & compliance

Designed and certified to published standards.

FAQs

Goliath — technical questions.

What is a goliath crane?

A full gantry crane that runs on two legs on ground rails, needing no overhead building structure — used for outdoor yards and storage areas.

Single or double girder goliath?

Single-girder gantry suits light-to-medium outdoor handling economically; double-girder gantry handles higher capacity, large spans and cantilevers.

What capacity can you supply?

Up to about 100 tonnes over large spans; send your span, capacity and rail layout for a configured design.

Is it weatherproofed for outdoors?

Yes — paint systems, canopies, cable management and rail clamps are specified for outdoor service.

Semi or full goliath — which?

Full goliath when it is fully outdoor with no building to lean on, or when loads / spans are large. Semi-goliath when a building can carry one elevated rail and duty is medium.

Which standards apply?

IS 3177 and IS 807, with ISO 9001:2015 and ZED Gold certification, and a 125% load test.
