While choosing the right material handling solution for a business, be it an EOT or Gantry care, various factors need to be considered to ensure it aligns with the users’ specific needs and challenges. Here’s a quick comparison chart to understand which can works best for you:
EOT Crane: This crane is used where materials need to be lifted within specific confines, such as a warehouse or a factory. The device is suspended from the ceiling and has a set path in the form of an overhead runway.
Gantry Crane: Gantry Cranes are versatile and can be used in different settings such as shipyards, construction sites, warehouses, and outdoor storage yards. It comes with self-supporting structures that can be moved indoors and outdoors as required by the user.
EOT Crane: EOT Cranes can move along a predefined path only. They are built for specific tasks and have a designated work area. It is not built for mobility and is suited for repetitive tasks.
Gantry Crane: These cranes can be relocated as needed since they come with self-supporting structures. It is suited for work areas where flexibility and mobility are a big factor.
Both cranes can be designed to handle varying load capacities depending on the requirement. The design and build of the cranes will determine how much load it can take at a point.
EOT Crane: EOT cranes are more cost-effective since their operations are limited and fixed. It is best suited for indoor applications where overhead runways are installed. Given its relatively limited functionality, the cost involved in building this device is also lower.
Gantry Crane: These cranes are more expensive since they come with a self-supporting system and various features to improve their mobility and performance. It can be more cost-effective in workspaces where the crane is required in multiple locations.
EOT Crane: This crane is feasible in settings where there is a lot of vertical space and requires very limited mobility.
Gantry Crane: Suited for businesses where vertical space is limited and requires a level surface for the crane to move on instead of overhead runways.
EOT Crane: Well-suited for indoor settings where the assets are protected from the elements of nature.
Gantry Crane: Suitable for outdoor applications and can weather the elements of nature.
Your choice of EOT Crane and Gantry Crane depends entirely on your needs, budget, and workspace condition. It is advisable to assess your requirements and also consult an expert to make the right decision.
