They can be used in highway bridges, as assembly gantry cranes, guide beams, bridge erecting machines, and suspended platforms. Bailey truss combination gantry cranes utilize prefabricated highway steel bridge components to assemble the gantry frame, and their span and column height are adjustable to adapt to different work sites. They are widely used in highway, railway, municipal, building, and water conservancy construction projects, as well as in bridge construction prefabrication yards for lifting and moving prefabricated components and transporting large beams beside bridge piers.
