Overview

Semi-Goliath Crane.

The Semi-Goliath Crane runs with one gantry leg on a ground rail while the opposite side rides an elevated rail mounted on the building — saving a rail, a foundation and a quantity of steel versus a full gantry.

It is a cost-effective, medium-duty solution for yards alongside a building, designed to IS 3177 / IS 807 and load-tested at 125% of SWL.

Advantages

Why a LOADMATE semi-goliath.

Cost-effective

Uses an existing building rail on one side — one less rail, foundation and gantry leg.

Less civil work

Only one ground rail and foundation to lay versus a full gantry.

Good for building-side yards

Ideal where a yard runs alongside a shed or bay.

Outdoor-rated

Weatherised paint, canopy and cable management for outdoor service.

Medium-duty capable

Handles regular yard lifting without the cost of a full goliath.

Built & tested in-house

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

Configurations

Two ways to specify it.

Ground-rail leg

One fabricated gantry leg runs on a ground rail with end-carriage wheels and travel drive.

Best for: The open / yard side of the crane.

Building-rail side

The opposite side rides an elevated rail fixed to the building structure.

Best for: The side adjacent to the existing building.

FAQs

Semi-Goliath — technical questions.

What is a semi-goliath crane?

A half-gantry: one leg runs on a ground rail and the other side rides an elevated rail on a building. It saves a rail, a foundation and steel versus a full goliath.

When should I choose semi over full goliath?

When a yard runs alongside a building whose structure can carry one elevated rail, and duty is medium — it is the more economical choice.

Is it for outdoor use?

Yes, typically — we weatherise the structure and electrics with paint, canopies and cable management.

What capacity can you supply?

Light-to-medium duty; for heavy or large-span outdoor lifting, a full goliath crane is recommended.

Which standards apply?

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

How is it powered along the rails?

Via cable festoon or shrouded DSL conductor systems rated for outdoor use.
