Gantry crane ke mofuta oa lifti ea moeeng e nang le boom e tšehelitsoeng maotong a stowaway, e tsamaeang ka mabili, litselana, kapa litsamaiso tsa terene tse tsamaisang boom, letjeketjane le holimo. Crane e ka holimo-limo, eo hangata e bitsoang crane ea borokho, e bōpehile joaloka borokho bo tsamaeang, athe gantry crane eona e na le borokho bo ka holimo bo tšehelitsoeng ka foreimi ea eona. Lithapa, maballo le maoto ke likarolo tsa bohlokoa tsa crane ea gantry, 'me li e khetholla ho crane e holimo kapa ea borokho. Haeba borokho bo ts'ehelitsoe ka thata ke maoto a mabeli kapa ho feta a mathang ka litsela tse peli tse tsitsitseng boemong ba fatše, joale crane e bitsoa gantry (USA, ASME B30 series) kapa goliath (UK, BS 466).
Gantry crane ke mofuta oa crane ea moeeng e nang le tlhophiso ea girder e le 'ngoe kapa sebopeho sa girder e habeli e tšehelitsoeng maotong a tsamaisoang ke mabili kapa seporong kapa seporong. Li-cranes tse nang le girder gantry cranes li sebelisa li-jacks tsa ho phahamisa tse fapaneng ho latela mofuta oa mosebetsi, hape li ka sebelisa li-jacks tsa mofuta oa Europe. Bokhoni ba ho phahamisa ba "double girder gantry crane" e ka ba lithane tse makholo, 'me mofuta ona e ka ba moralo oa halofo ea girder kapa leoto le nang le leoto le le leng ka sebopeho sa skeleton. Gantry crane e nyane, e nkehang habobebe e ka etsa mesebetsi e tšoanang le eo jib crane e e etsang, empa e ka potoloha setsing sa hau ha k'hamphani ea hau e hola 'me u qala ho ntlafatsa le ho hlophisa libaka tsa polokelo.
Lisistimi tse nkehang tsa gantry le tsona li ka fana ka maemo a bonolo ho feta jib kapa crane ea stall. Mefuta e fapaneng ea li-cranes tse holimo li kenyelletsa gantry, jib, borokho, sebaka sa mosebetsi, monorail, overhead, le sub-assembly. Li-cranes tse holimo, ho kenyelletsa le li-gantry cranes, lia hlokahala libakeng tse ngata tsa tlhahiso, tlhokomelo, le libakeng tsa mosebetsi oa indasteri moo ho hlokahalang ho phahamisa le ho tsamaisa meroalo e boima. Li-cranes tsa marulelo a holimo li sebelisetsoa ho phahamisa le ho tsamaisa thepa ho tloha sebakeng se seng ho ea ho se seng ka mokhoa o sireletsehileng le ka katleho kamoo ho ka khonehang.
Li-cranes tsa borokho tse peli li entsoe ka maballo a mabeli a borokho a khomaretsoeng seporong, 'me hangata li fanoa ka lithapo tsa motlakase tse holim'a hlooho, empa hape li ka fuoa li-lifti tsa ketane ea motlakase tse holimo ho latela ts'ebeliso. E fumaneha ka meralo e nang le leoto le le leng kapa e tloaelehileng ea maoto a mabeli, Spanco PF-letoto la li-gantry crane system li ka hlomelloa ka tsela e tsamaeang ka matla. Litlhoko tse latelang li sebetsa ho li-crane tsohle tsa indasteri tse sebelisoang sebakeng sa marang-rang, ho kenyeletsoa li-automated, cockpit-operated, gantry, semi-gantry, lebota, jib, borokho, joalo-joalo.
Ka makhetlo a mangata, crane ea borokho bo ka holimo le eona e tla lateloa, e le hore tsamaiso eohle e ka tsamaea e ea pele kapa e khutlela morao ho pholletsa le mohaho. Li-cranes tsa borokho li hahiloe ka har'a sebopeho sa moaho, 'me hangata li sebelisa meaho ea moaho joalo ka litšehetso tsa tsona. U ka sebelisa li-cranes tsa borokho ka lebelo le potlakileng, empa ka li-gantry cranes, hangata, meroalo e tsamaisoa ka lebelo le tlase la ho khasa. Li-cranes tsa borokho tse nang le girder e le 'ngoe li ntse li na le bokhoni bo bongata ba ho phahamisa, ha li bapisoa le tse ling tsa li-crane, empa hangata li na le boima ba lithane tse 15.
