Reliable Mobile Gantry System for Marine and Hydraulic Testing

A mobile gantry platform is an essential component of modern towing tank and wave flume facilities. Designed for marine engineering, ship hydrodynamics, fluid mechanics, and hydraulic research, it provides a stable and precise working platform for a wide range of experimental applications.

Our Towing Tank Gantry adopts a modular heavy-duty truss structure and can be customized in terms of span, travel distance, load capacity, and functional configuration. It is suitable for both newly constructed facilities and retrofit projects, offering excellent adaptability to different pool dimensions and testing requirements.

The system features a traveling main carriage combined with a transverse trolley, enabling movement along both the longitudinal and lateral directions of the test basin. Integrated lifting and rotation mechanisms allow flexible positioning throughout the entire test area, ensuring complete coverage for complex testing scenarios.

Precision guide rails and motion control technology provide smooth acceleration and deceleration, while maintaining high repeat positioning accuracy for reliable and consistent test results. Multiple mounting interfaces support the installation of sensors, cameras, measurement instruments, and custom fixtures, making the platform suitable for diverse research programs.

Every Towing Tank Gantry undergoes comprehensive factory performance testing before shipment. Third-party inspections are welcome. We also provide on-site installation guidance, operation training, warranty coverage, and lifetime technical support.

Core Functions

• Full-Area Mobile Operation: The platform travels smoothly along both the length and width of the testing facility, providing complete access to the entire working area for towing experiments.

• Multi-Equipment Integration: Multiple mounting locations and workstations allow the installation of sensors, cameras, test fixtures, monitoring systems, and other specialized equipment.

• Adjustable Working Position: Integrated lifting and rotation mechanisms enable flexible adjustment of height and angle to accommodate different water depths, models, and testing conditions.

• Flexible Motion Control: Travel speed, acceleration, positioning accuracy, and operational parameters can be configured according to specific testing standards and project requirements.

Key Advantages

• High Versatility: The standardized truss architecture is compatible with various wave-making systems, including push-plate and flap-type configurations, and supports a wide range of pool dimensions.

• Extensive Customization: Span, travel range, payload capacity, lifting stroke, mounting interfaces, and auxiliary functions can all be tailored to meet individual project requirements.

• Robust and Safe Construction: The heavy-duty structural design ensures uniform load distribution and stable movement under continuous operation. Comprehensive safety devices protect personnel, equipment, and test specimens.

• Outstanding Positioning Accuracy: Precision guide mechanisms and advanced motion control provide smooth operation and highly repeatable positioning, helping maintain reliable experimental data.

• Integrated System Design: Power distribution, control cabinets, cable management, and accessory storage are incorporated into a unified layout for efficient operation and maintenance.

• Excellent Site Compatibility: The system can be installed in newly built facilities or integrated into existing test basins with minimal modification requirements.
