A gantry assembly includes a main beam extending between a first and a second end. A plurality of legs including a pair of first legs and a pair of second legs attached to the main beam. A pair of first trolleys is slidably attached to the main beam. A first girder is attached to each one of the first trolleys and extends outwardly from the first trolleys for movement with the first trolleys. The first girder includes a pair of posts having a first and a second post disposed spaced from one another. The first post is attached to the first girder and extends downwardly from the first girder. The second post is slidably attached to the first girder and is movable along the first girder toward and away from the main beam allowing the gantry assembly to have different widths to accommodate for a single or double railway bridge.

A portal gantry crane including: two parallel main girders running side by side on respective sides of a midplane, two legs each positioned in the midplane, two couples of trolleys, each couple of trolleys operating on a corresponding girder, each trolley carrying a hoist.

An apparatus includes a height-adjustable gantry assembly configured to be securely connected to a gantry load resting on a working surface. The height-adjustable gantry assembly, in use, lifts and supports the gantry load vertically above the working surface. A movable frame assembly is configured to move and support the height-adjustable gantry assembly.

A pipe lifting apparatus and method related thereto are provided, wherein the pipe has a base with outriggers, a vertically extending beam having a pulley at its upper end and a cable attached to a winch and extending over the pulley. The pulley and winch are oriented so that the cable extends naturally in line with a vertex between two of the outriggers such that, when a pipe in a vertical sleeve is attached to the distal end and is lifted by the cable, the pipe passes adjacent to the vertex. The apparatus is configured to raise pipes from a vertical pipe sleeve used in floating roofs of above-ground storage tanks. The apparatus can be used to raise and lower pipes and to move them around the upper surface of the floating roof of the tanks.

A tunnel relief device includes an arcuate frame member, at least two fire-extinguishing arms, and a transport assembly. The arcuate frame member traverses along a length of the tunnel via first guide rails positioned on an inner surface of the tunnel. The fire-extinguishing arms are positioned on an inner surface of the arcuate frame member and traverse along the inner surface of the arcuate frame member via second guide rails to extinguish fire induced in the tunnel. The transport assembly comprises extendable arms and housed in an upper region of the arcuate frame member. The extendable arms are movable in a horizontal or vertical direction. The transport assembly is rotatably engaged to the upper region of the arcuate frame member to transport the vehicles in the tunnel from a first position to a second position to ensure safe and unobstructed movement of the vehicles in the tunnel.

A workstation having a cantilevered crane system that includes one or more cantilevered header assemblies, with each cantilevered header assembly including an upright column and a horizontally oriented header, with the header extending from the column with a free end distal from the column. The headers support a pair of runway rails, with at least one bridge rail movably mounted to the runway rails and supporting a moveable hoist. The cantilevered crane system defines a workstation area bounded by the columns and headers, with the workstation area including an open side adjacent the free ends of the headers.
