Sometimes a situation arises where a standard crane just won’t do the job.

Customization Options

Wallace has a long history of customizing our portable gantry cranes to meet special needs. The possibilities are endless:

• Beam Lengths 
  • I-beams can be cut to a shorter length.
  • longer spans are available for some tri-adjustable cranes but may incur an additional charge based on your specific requirements.
• Crane Heights
  • Thrifty cranes can be cut to a shorter height.
  • Some tri-adjustable cranes are available up to 26’0” maximum overall height by special order.

Optional Accessories

Wallace also offers optional accessories to help ease crane transportation.

• V-groove casters are available for all cranes up to 10 ton capacity for use on inverted angle track (standard on our 15-ton cranes).
• Polyurethane casters (standard on our steel 7-1/2 ton Thrifty cranes and 8 and 10-ton tri-adjustable cranes) are available for all of our other standard cranes up to 5-ton capacity.
• Single 10” or 12” diameter pneumatic casters (up to ½-ton capacity crane only).
• Dual 12” diameter pneumatic casters (for aluminum cranes only up to 1-ton capacity and 18’5” maximum overall height).
• Caster brakes are available for all our gantry cranes.

Lead Time

Note that gantry crane customizations, brakes on casters, and optional caters typically increase lead time.
