COMBINING STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY WITH DECADES OF ANALYTICS EXPERTISE,

OUR GANTREX EXPERTS DELIVER ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS TO OUR CUSTOMERS.

What do we mean by 3D Scanning ?

3D scanning elevates the crane inspection to the next level, while conventional inspection methods take
intermittent accurate readings, generally every 2 meters or so, 3D scanning gives you the possibility to connect
the dots through a continuous scan and also widen the scope to the surrounding area with minimal effort. 3D
scanning converts real objects into precise digital models, it uses light scattering techniques and advanced data
processing to analyze the measurements. As an example, with 3D scanning you are not only measuring your
rail, but also your beams, enabling you to analyze the location of the rail with respect to the beams, and the
straightness of the structure itself. Besides giving you a better understanding of your system, 3D scanning can
be faster and less intrusive than conventional methods.

It is useful for:
• Crane and track commissioning
• Loaded / unloaded geometries
• General mechanical assembly
for repairs, maintenance or
modifications
• Accident assessment

 Do you need an annual inspection done on your crane?
Gantrex can do that! We use the latest technologies available
to complete a health check to ensure your crane is in tip
top shape. Our report will have recommendations on any
maintenance items that need to be looked at or any issues that
need special attention. Our 50+ years of experience enable us
to interpret the technical data and provide you with precise
actionable insights for your operations.

Do you have an issue with your crane that just keeps coming back?
Gantrex can do a root cause analysis incorporating technologies
such as 3D scanning to scan the whole crane or just a particular area.
Traditional assessment methods provide a fragmented representation
of the system. The finer the distance between two distinct points the
longer is the assessment and the data processing. Modern technologies
such as 3D scanning expand the geometrical assessment to a new
area where track solutions can be assessed almost continuously in 3
directions and the data treatment is eased with powerful software.
This allows us to understand what is happening with your crane and
give you expert advice on how to solve your problem to ensure your
crane keeps moving those containers!

3D Scanning is an efficient inspection method to support crane and

track commissioning, assess structural crane change (ex. loaded /
unloaded geometries), concentrate maintenance efforts, modify
your system or even assess the impact of an accident. The versatility
of 3D scanning allows us to provide you with more accurate
results and more in depth analysis allowing you to have a better
understanding of your assets and how to keep them operational in
a more reliable manner. The addition of 3D scanning into Gantrex
arsenal of tools allows us to generate a wider variety of assessments
to serve you better, these include but not limited to: historical asset
transformation, accurate as built engineering drawings, independent
commissioning assessment, etc

Contact your local Gantrex representative to find out more and to

see if 3D scanning is available in your region.
