What is the Use of an End Carriage
End carriage plays a pivotal role within the framework of a gantry crane system. Fundamentally, these end carriages serve as both propulsion mechanisms and structural supports, enabling gantry cranes to achieve mobility. Their primary function involves facilitating the movement of gantry cranes within your workshop. The absence of end carriages would render gantry cranes immobile, thereby eliminating a vital aspect of their design.
What functions do end carriages serve?
An end carriage is meticulously designed to facilitate the seamless transit of your gantry crane between point A and point B, back to its original location in your workshop. These carriages drive the wheels affixed to the foundational units at the crane's base. End carriages exhibit varying degrees of mobility and load-bearing capacity tailored for gantry cranes. Typically, a carriage can support loads of up to 40,000 kg.
