A plate assembly for mounting an electrical enclosure in a position vertically aligned atop an overhead rail used to support a traveling hoist which traverses back and forth along the rails on a trolley. The plate assembly includes a plate which is shaped like an inverted U by a central opening extending up from the bottom with mounting portions projecting normal to the plate which are configured to be attached to the enclosure when installed in the opening at the top and to respective rail pieces clamped against respective sides of the opening.

A gantry system has at least one crane assembly, at least one support post, and at least one hoist. The crane assembly has a stationary base, a rotating base, and a crane arm. The rotating base is attached to both the stationary base and the crane arm in such a ways as to allow the rotating base and the crane arm to rotate while the stationary base remains stationary. The crane arm is supported on its far end by a support post. The crane assembly is configured such that the support post rests on an in-place girder. A hoist is attached and can move along the crane arm to position a railway component, such as a replacement girder and/or a precast panel.

A crane system is for a cantilever belonging to a jack-up rig. The crane system has a crane with a suspension member, the suspension member being arranged over the crane. A skid beam is attached to a lower portion of the cantilever, the skid beam being displaceably connected to a plurality of slides arranged on the jack-up rig, the crane hanging on the skid beam. A method is for using the crane system.
