15 Ton Gantry Crane Kits for Sale | Local Assembly & Bulk Orders – SLKJCrane
For many workshops, fabrication yards, and steel plants, a 15 ton gantry crane is a practical “middle range” solution. It can handle plates, molds, and machinery parts without requiring oversized foundations or special transport.
To support overseas projects, SLKJCrane supplies 15 ton gantry crane kits that are designed for local assembly. Instead of receiving a fully assembled crane, you receive modular components that can be installed by your own team or local contractor. This approach is especially attractive when you need multiple cranes for the same group or project.

What Is a 15 Ton Gantry Crane Kit?
A 15 ton gantry crane kit is a package of all key crane components delivered in sections for on-site assembly. It is suitable for new plants, retrofit projects, and sites where transporting a complete crane is difficult or expensive.
Typical components include:
Main girder(s) – define the span and carry the 15 t load
End carriages / end trucks – wheel sets and drive units for gantry travel
Legs and ground beams – for full gantry structures, with options for ladders and platforms
Electric hoist and trolley – standard or low-headroom 15 t hoist with cross travel trolley
Electrical system – control panel, motors, cables, power supply system, limit switches
Bolts and connection parts – high-strength fasteners and brackets for local assembly
Because the crane is delivered in modules, handling, unloading, and storage are simpler than with a pre-assembled structure.
Why 15 Ton Gantry Cranes Are Popular
A 15 t gantry crane is often chosen because it:
Covers most medium-to-heavy lifting tasks in general manufacturing, steel fabrication, and construction
Fits into existing buildings or yards without extreme civil work
Can be configured as single girder, double girder, semi-gantry, or outdoor gantry according to site layout
For many buyers, 10 t is too small and 20–32 t is more than necessary. 15 t becomes a sweet spot for both cost and capacity.
Advantages of Local Assembly
Choosing a 15 ton gantry crane kit for local assembly offers several practical advantages, especially for projects in the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.
1. Lower Transport and Import Costs
Modular components are easier to load into containers and avoid many oversize transport issues
In some countries, duties and taxes on parts are lower than on complete machines
You can use local cranes and forklifts to unload and erect the structure
2. Better Fit to Your Site
Local assembly allows you to:
Match the span and height to actual clearances, obstructions, and production lines
Configure hoist position, travel limits, and working area around your workflow
Add local platforms, walkways, and protection according to your safety rules
The crane is adjusted to your process, not the other way around.
3. Shorter Overall Project Time
Foundations, rails, and power supply can be prepared while the kit is being manufactured and shipped
Once the kit arrives, your team can start installation immediately with our drawings and guidance
You do not have to wait for an overseas erection team to arrive and schedule around them
4. Use of Local Skills and Standards
Local engineers and contractors understand national standards, inspection requirements, and site procedures
Future maintenance, inspections, and small modifications are easier to manage locally
SLKJCrane provides clear manuals and diagrams, while you keep control of on-site execution
When Bulk Orders Make Sense
Ordering multiple 15 ton gantry crane kits at the same time is often more economical than buying single units.
Large Industrial Projects
Steel mills, fabrication yards, precast concrete plants, and shipyards
Multiple bays or lines using the same crane type for material handling
Workshops with Several Cranes
Standardized components simplify training and maintenance
The same spare parts fit more than one crane
Operators can move between cranes with minimal retraining
Cost & Management Benefits
Supplier can offer better prices per unit on bulk orders
Shared engineering, packaging, and logistics reduce total project cost
In case of downtime on one crane, other units can temporarily cover critical tasks
For EPC contractors or groups with several plants, bulk purchasing of 15 t gantry crane kits helps control both cost and technical risk.
Local Assembly – Simple Step-by-Step Overview
Every site is different, but most 15 ton gantry crane kit installations follow a similar sequence.
1. Preparation
Check ground level, foundations, and rail alignment
Confirm there is enough space for assembly and lifting operations
Prepare power supply, earth connection, and safe access routes
2. Mechanical Assembly
Assemble end carriages, legs, and main girder(s) on the ground
Install hoist and trolley and verify smooth movement on the girder
Lift the gantry structure onto rails using local cranes or lifting equipment
3. Electrical Installation
Mount control panel, motors, cable systems, and limit switches
Connect power and control wiring according to the supplied diagrams
Set parameters for soft start, braking, and protection devices if using VFD drives
4. Safety Checks and Testing
Perform no-load and test-load lifting trials
Check travel, braking, limit switches, and emergency stop functions
Record results for future inspection and certification if required
With proper planning and a skilled team, installation of a 15 t gantry crane kit can usually be completed in a short time frame, once foundations and rails are ready.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
———15 Ton Gantry Crane Kits & Local Assembly
Q1. Is a 15 ton gantry crane suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. We can supply outdoor-type 15 t gantry cranes with weatherproof motors, outdoor coatings, rain covers, and appropriate IP protection. Just let us know your environment (sun, rain, wind, coastal, etc.).
Q2. Can I install the 15 t gantry crane kit with my own team?
In many cases, yes. As long as your team has basic experience in steel fabrication and lifting operations, you can assemble the kit following our drawings and manuals. We can also cooperate with your local installation partner.
Q3. Do you provide rails and power supply systems?
Yes. We can provide rails, clips, pads, power supply systems (cable festoon, busbar) and other accessories as part of the kit. You can choose “full package” or only main crane components.
Q4. How long does it take to assemble a 15 ton gantry crane kit?
For a standard 15 t single girder gantry crane, a skilled team can typically complete installation and commissioning within 3–5 days after foundations and rails are ready. Complex layouts or multiple cranes may take longer.
Q5. Can the span or lifting height be modified later?
Minor adjustments are possible during installation (for example, micro-adjusting span or rail gauge). However, any major change after fabrication will affect structural strength and must be checked by SLKJCrane engineers in advance.
Q6. Can I order multiple 15 ton gantry crane kits for different sites?
Yes. Many customers place bulk orders for several identical or similar cranes to standardize their equipment. This reduces spare parts inventory, simplifies operator training, and often provides better pricing per unit.
Q7. How do I start a project with SLKJCrane?
Simply send us your capacity, span, lifting height, travel length, power supply, and working conditions. Our team will prepare a technical proposal + price offer for your 15 ton gantry crane kit and suggest the most economical configuration for your site.
