[0002] Gantry cranes are large lifting equipment commonly used in industrial production, logistics warehousing, and port terminals. They are responsible for lifting various heavy objects. In actual operation scenarios, due to the different shapes, weights, materials, and lifting requirements of the objects being lifted, it is often necessary to equip them with a variety of different types of hooks to meet diverse lifting needs.
[0003] Traditional hook conversion methods typically require operators to use various tools, such as wrenches and screwdrivers, to disassemble and install the connecting parts between the hook and the crane. This process not only requires operators to have certain professional skills, but also involves cumbersome procedures and consumes a lot of time. For example, in some urgent lifting tasks, frequent hook changes may cause task delays and affect overall work efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an improved gantry crane to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content
