Patented Track is an industry name for an engineered, composite beam specifically designed and fabricated for the overhead lifting industry. The beams are made from a hardened rolled tee section welded to webs and flanges of varying sizes depending on the capacity and span required for the application. These beams (used as both runway beams and bridge beams) have much tighter tolerances than commercially available wide flange beams allowing for smoother splices and less ergonomic effort than a traditional wide flange system. The hardened lower flange is also less resistant to wear or grooving.
Gantry cranes are very similar to traditional overhead bridge cranes except that the bridge beams are elevated on legs above the end trucks. In many applications, the end trucks run on rails at ground level, this is a traditional gantry crane. If one rail is on the ground and the other is elevated on runway beams, this is known as a semi-gantry crane.
