When you operate gantry cranes, you face environments that demand higher weather resistance, heavier-duty components, and specialized braking systems compared to indoor overhead cranes. This page covers the full range of gantry crane parts Hanko can supply — wheels, hooks, drums, sheaves, storm brakes, gearboxes, and more — engineered for outdoor service, high wind loads, and continuous duty cycles typical of ports, shipyards, material yards, and construction sites.
Featured Snippet: Quick Answer
Hanko supplies gantry crane parts for portal, truss, semi-portal, and rubber-tired gantry (RTG) cranes. The product range includes forged wheels, hooks, wire rope drums, sheaves, storm brakes, gearboxes, and couplings. Components are manufactured to DIN, FEM, and ISO standards with material certification and NDT testing. Gantry crane parts are engineered for outdoor service, high wind loads, and heavy-duty continuous operation.
Gantry Crane Parts We Supply
Gantry Crane Wheels
When you select gantry crane wheels, you need components that carry higher loads than equivalent overhead crane wheels due to the greater dead weight of the gantry structure. You should choose double-flange wheels for rail-mounted gantries and single-flange for certain RTG configurations. Hanko can supply:
- Diameters: 400–1200+ mm
- Materials: 42CrMo, 35CrMo, 40CrNi2MoA for heavy-duty outdoor service
- Heat treatment: Induction-hardened tread surface to 50–55 HRC
- Special options: Anti-corrosion coating for port and coastal environments
For dimension and load data, see our crane wheel specifications reference. For product details, visit Crane Wheels.
Gantry Crane Hooks
When you order forged hooks for gantry service, you should specify higher safety factors due to dynamic wind loading and outdoor operation.
- Single hooks: 0.5–80 t (DIN 15401)
- Double hooks: 80–500+ t (DIN 15402)
- Materials: DG20Mn, 34CrMo4, 35CrMoA
- Each hook certified with EN 10204 3.1 material certificate and NDT report
For hook sizes and load ratings, see our crane hook size chart. For product details, visit Crane Hooks.
Gantry Crane Drums
When you select a gantry crane drum, you often need longer barrel lengths due to greater lifting heights and multi-layer spooling.
- Diameters: 300–1200+ mm
- Groove types: Spiral (single-layer) and Lebus (multi-layer)
- Materials: Cast steel (ZG230-450), welded steel (Q235B/Q345B)
- Shell thickness calculated per DIN 15061 / FEM standards
For calculation methods, see our crane drum dimensions guide. For product details, visit Crane Drums.
Gantry Crane Sheaves
When you need sheaves for your gantry crane reeving system, you should choose sealed bearings to prevent contaminant ingress from dust, rain, and salt spray.
- Sheave diameters per D/d ratio: 20–30× rope diameter
- Bearing options: Sealed roller bearings or plain bushings
- Materials: Cast steel, welded steel with machined grooves
For product details, visit Crane Sheaves.
Gantry Crane Storm Brakes
Storm brakes are critical safety components for your outdoor gantry cranes. They prevent the crane from being moved by wind when not in operation. Hanko can supply rail-clamp storm brakes and wheel brakes designed for high holding force.
- Types: Rail clamp type, wheel brake type
- Holding force: Calculated based on local design wind speed (typically 250–300 km/h non-operating wind)
- Actuation: Electric-hydraulic, spring-applied
- Standards: FEM 1.001 Section 3-4.2 for storm brake requirements
For a delivered example, see our storm brake shipment to Vietnam. For product details, visit Crane Brakes.
Gantry Crane Gearboxes
When you need gearboxes for your gantry crane, Hanko can supply reduction gearboxes for hoisting, trolley travel, and gantry travel mechanisms. Your gantry travel gearboxes are typically larger and may include multiple drive stations for long-span gantries.
- Configurations: Parallel shaft, bevel-helical, planetary
- Selection basis: Output torque, reduction ratio, duty class
- Sealing: IP65 or higher for outdoor service
For product details, visit Crane Gearboxes.
Gantry Crane Couplings
Gear couplings and flexible couplings connect your motors to gearboxes and drive shafts. For your gantry travel mechanisms, long-span drive shafts may require couplings with higher angular misalignment capacity.
For coupling types, see our crane coupling types guide.

Outdoor Service Considerations
Your gantry crane parts face environmental conditions that indoor components do not:
| Factor | Impact on Parts | Supply Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Wind loading | Higher dynamic forces on hooks and structures | Higher safety factors on hooks and drums |
| Rain and humidity | Corrosion on machined surfaces | Anti-corrosion coatings, sealed bearings |
| Salt spray (coastal ports) | Accelerated corrosion on steel parts | Marine-grade paint, stainless hardware options |
| Temperature extremes | Material brittleness in cold, expansion in heat | Low-temperature impact testing for cold regions |
| Dust and abrasives | Bearing and groove wear | Sealed bearings, hardened groove surfaces |
| UV exposure | Degradation of non-metallic components | UV-resistant seals and coatings |
Manufacturing and Quality Standards
| Standard | Scope |
|---|---|
| DIN 15401 / 15402 | Crane hook dimensions |
| DIN 15061 | Drum groove specifications |
| FEM 1.001 | Crane design and storm brake requirements |
| ISO 4306 / 4308 | Crane classification and rope selection |
| GB/T 10051 | Forged hook technical conditions |
| EN 10204 3.1 | Material certification |
| ISO 9001 | Quality management system |
All parts are traceable by heat number. Your critical components undergo NDT (magnetic particle, ultrasonic) and proof load testing where applicable.

Yes. Send a sample wheel or a dimensional drawing including diameter, tread width, bore, flange dimensions, and keyway. A replacement will be produced to the exact specifications with appropriate material and heat treatment.
What materials are used for gantry crane parts?
Gantry crane wheels are typically 42CrMo or 35CrMo with induction-hardened treads. Hooks are DG20Mn for standard service and 34CrMo4 or 35CrMoA for heavy-duty. Drums are cast steel or welded Q345B. Material selection is confirmed based on the crane’s duty class and operating environment.
Does Hanko export gantry crane parts to ports and shipyards?
Yes. Hanko exports gantry crane parts to ports, shipyards, and material handling facilities in Russia, Southeast Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and South America. Standard export packaging includes anti-corrosion coating and wooden crating. You can request localized documentation suited to your country’s import requirements.
What is the minimum order quantity for gantry crane parts?
There is no strict minimum order quantity. You can order a single replacement wheel or storm brake, or you can place a batch order for a complete gantry crane set. For custom-forged parts, the per-unit cost is lower when you order larger quantities. Contact Hanko with your quantity requirements for a specific quotation.
Can Hanko provide drawings for custom gantry crane parts before production?
Yes. When you order custom or replacement parts, Hanko engineers prepare a dimensional drawing for your approval before production begins. You can review and request changes before any material is cut or forged. This ensures the final part matches your requirements exactly.
If you have drawings, specifications, or a list of required gantry crane parts, send them to Hanko for a technical review and quotation. Hanko serves customers in Russia, Central Asia, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, South America, and other markets with complete export documentation.
