"Sumner's GH2T Gantry lift introduces a lightweight aluminum Gantry lift into the marketplace that is much simpler to transport, assemble and adjust than comparable Gantry lifts," states National Sales Manager, Brendan Conway. "The entire assembly is light enough to be erected by a two-man crew, something that the market has been demanding. The advanced design allows a pivoting feature where the beam with trolley is inserted into receiver of each A-Frames then raised and final bolting of beam occurs.
"Height adjustments can be made on either side by one man using the adjustable mast lifting handle and removable quick-action mast locking pin," Conway continues. "All beams come with convenient carrying handles on both ends. A-frame assemblies fold up and lock in folded position with plunger pins. The entire assembly is pinch-point free. Overall the advanced design of the GH2T Gantry makes the work of transporting, assembling and adjusting a Gantry lift a much simpler task."
