Crane ya gantry ni ubwoko bwo kuzamura ikirere gifite imbaraga zishyigikiwe namaguru yinyeganyeza, zigenda ziziga, inzira, cyangwa sisitemu ya gari ya moshi itwara ibibyimba, imigozi, hamwe no kuzamura. Crane yo hejuru, bakunze kwita ikiraro cya kiraro, ikorwa nkikiraro kigenda, mugihe gantry gantry ifite ikiraro cyo hejuru gishyigikiwe nikigero cyacyo. Girders, imirishyo, namaguru nibice byingenzi bya kantine ya gantry kandi uyitandukanya na crane yo hejuru cyangwa ikiraro. Niba ikiraro gishyigikiwe cyane namaguru abiri cyangwa menshi yiruka kumirongo ibiri ihamye kurwego rwubutaka, noneho crane yitwa gantry (USA, ASME B30 series) cyangwa goliath (UK, BS 466).
Crane ya gantry ni ubwoko bwa crane yo mu kirere ifite iboneza rimwe cyangwa ibitsindo bibiri-bishyigikiwe n'amaguru bigenda byimukanwa cyangwa kuri sisitemu ya gari ya moshi. Imashini imwe ya gantry cranes ikoresha jack zitandukanye zo guterura bitewe nubwoko bwakazi, kandi irashobora no gukoresha jack yuburyo bwuburayi. Ubushobozi bwo guterura bwikubitiro bubiri bwa gantry crane burashobora kuba toni amagana, kandi ubwoko bushobora kuba igishushanyo mbonera cya kimwe cya kabiri cyangwa ukuguru kabiri ukoresheje ukuguru kumwe muburyo bwa skeleton. Gantry ntoya, ishobora gutwara gantry irashobora gukora ubwoko bwimirimo nkiyi ya jib crane ikora, ariko irashobora kuzenguruka ikigo cyawe mugihe uruganda rwawe rukuze hanyuma ugatangira gukora neza no gushyiramo ububiko bwububiko.
Sisitemu ya gantry ishobora kandi gutangwa irashobora guhinduka kuruta jib cyangwa guhagarara. Ubwoko butandukanye bwa crane yo hejuru burimo gantry, jib, ikiraro, aho bakorera, monorail, hejuru, hamwe no guterana. Crane yo hejuru, harimo na gantry crane, irakenewe mubikorwa byinshi, kubitunganya, no mubikorwa byinganda aho bisabwa gukora neza kugirango uzamure kandi wimure imitwaro iremereye. Crane yo hejuru ikoreshwa muguterura no kwimura ibikoresho biva ahantu hamwe bijya ahandi mumutekano kandi neza bishoboka.
Ikiraro cya kaburimbo ebyiri-kigizwe nibiti bibiri byikiraro bifatanye n'umuhanda, kandi mubisanzwe bitangwa hamwe na moteri yo hejuru yumuriro wamashanyarazi, ariko birashobora no guhabwa ibyuma bizamura amashanyarazi bitewe nubisabwa. Biboneka mumaguru umwe cyangwa ibisanzwe bisanzwe-amaguru, Spanco PF-seri ya gantry crane sisitemu irashobora kuba ifite moteri ya traverse. Ibisabwa bikurikira bikurikizwa kuri crane yinganda zose zikoreshwa kurubuga, zirimo ibyuma byikora, bikoreshwa na cockpit, gantry, igice cya gantry, urukuta, jib, ikiraro, nibindi.
Inshuro nyinshi, ikiraro cyo hejuru cyikiraro nacyo kizakurikiranwa, kugirango sisitemu yose ishobore kugenda haba imbere cyangwa inyuma yinyubako. Ikiraro cya kiraro cyubatswe muburyo bwinyubako, kandi mubisanzwe ukoresha imiterere yinyubako nkinkunga yabo. Urashobora gukoresha ikiraro cya kiraro kumuvuduko mwinshi, ariko hamwe na gantry crane, mubisanzwe, imizigo yimuka kumuvuduko wihuta. Ikiraro kimwe-kiraro kiracyafite ubushobozi bwiza bwo guterura, mugihe ugereranije na bimwe mubindi byerekezo, ariko mubisanzwe bigera kuri toni 15 zubushobozi.
