Texas-based Sumner Manufacturing has added a new, lightweight unit to its line of gantry lifts. The all-aluminum GH34T gantry lift has a lift capacity of up to 750 kg and is available with beams in four imperial sizes (8, 10, 12 and 15 ft) and three metric sizes (3, 4 and 5 m).

The GH34T gantry features two A-frames, a cross beam and attaching hardware. A-frame legs lock in folded position using a push-button release and feature a removable quick-action locking pin for adjusting the gantry beam height.

An adjustable lifting handle allows height adjustments to be made in 6 in (15 cm) increments. The gantry lift has been designed for assembly by two persons.

The GH34T Gantry A-frame has the option of either two 8 in (200 mm) lockable casters or two 10 in (254 mm) flat-free tires. Either caster type can lock at 90-degree angles and includes a foot brake to stop the caster from rolling.
