2 Tonne Overhead Goliath Cranes
When your materials and components exceed the 1,000kg mark, your lifting requirements change entirely. At 2,000kg, relying on heavy-duty forklifts inside a crowded factory becomes a major safety hazard, and manual handling is completely out of the question.
Engineered Capabilities for 2-Tonne Lifts
A 2-tonne goliath crane requires precision engineering to ensure safe, repeatable lifts shift after shift. We don't supply generic flat-pack systems; every crane is tailored to your exact operational specifications:
A 2-tonne Safe Working Load (SWL) is the "sweet spot" for many industrial and commercial applications.
- Optimised Single Girder Design: For a 2-tonne capacity, a single girder configuration is usually the most efficient and cost-effective choice, providing excellent hook height without unnecessary dead weight.
- Motorised or Manual Travel: Depending on your duty cycle, we can equip your 2t gantry with a manual push/pull trolley for occasional lifts, or fully motorized, inverter-driven travel for smooth, continuous production line work.
- Bespoke Spans and Clearances: Whether you need a narrow span to straddle a single machine or a wide span to cover a large loading bay, we engineer the steelwork to maximize your usable floor space.
- Indoor & Outdoor Specifications: We build indoor systems with polyurethane wheels to protect factory floors, and heavy-duty outdoor stockyard cranes featuring storm brakes, weather-proof enclosures, and marine-grade anti-corrosion paint.
The Benefits of a 2-Tonne Goliath System
Choosing a 2-tonne goliath crane over a traditional building-supported overhead crane offers immediate logistical and financial benefits:
- Zero Building Stress: A 2-tonne roof-mounted crane often requires expensive structural surveys and building reinforcements. Because a goliath crane is completely freestanding, the load is driven straight down the legs to your factory floor.
- Targeted Workstation Lifting: Instead of tying up a massive factory-wide crane for a localized job, a 2t goliath can be dedicated to a specific zone—such as a loading dock or a cutting station—keeping your overall production flowing.
- Relocatable Assets: Unlike fixed overhead cranes, many of our 2-tonne goliath systems can be dismantled and relocated if you reorganize your factory layout or move to a larger premises.
Key Sectors Relying on Our 2-Tonne Cranes
A 2,000kg capacity is the industry standard for several highly specialized sectors across the UK:
- CNC Machining & Tooling: Safely and precisely load heavy metal billets and expensive, oversized tooling into CNC machines without the jerky movements of a forklift.
- Stonemasonry & Monumental Masonry: When paired with a vacuum lifter, our 2-tonne cranes provide the smooth, controlled lifting required to handle large granite, marble, and quartz slabs without cracking.
- Automotive Manufacturing & Restorations: Perfect for lifting complete commercial vehicle engines, chassis, and heavy automotive sub-assemblies.
Logistics & Dispatch Bays: Empower a single operator to safely lift and load 2-tonne crates or heavy pallets directly onto flatbed trucks.
