Custom Designed Gantry Workshop

We design and build container workshops with a built-in gantry crane for servicing heavy equipment on site. When the job involves lifting and moving heavy components safely, a standard workbench workshop isn’t enough. We engineer an insulated, air-conditioned workshop around an XY gantry system, so a technician can lift, move, and service heavy parts inside the container and transfer them out through the doors.

A delivered project serviced sensitive electronic heavy drill bits for a mining ground-analysis client. The XY gantry moves freely inside the container, with a 1500mm extension beyond the doors for transferring drill bits over 100kg. Certified to AS1418.1 and AS2550.1 for safe lifting and handling, it let the client service equipment on remote sites instead of losing time sending it to a fixed central workshop.

Services

XY Gantry Crane System

The workshop is built around a unique XY gantry system that moves freely inside the container, with a 1500mm extension beyond the doors so heavy components can be lifted and transferred in and out. It’s engineered to safely handle drill bits and components over 100kg, the capability that sets this apart from a standard workbench workshop.

Certified for Safe Lifting

The lifting system is certified to AS1418.1 and AS2550.1 for safe lifting and handling, so the crane capability meets the standards that apply to lifting equipment, not just the container build.

Purpose-Built Servicing Environment

Inside, the workshop is insulated and air-conditioned, with adequate workbenches, specialised storage, and a full range of repair and maintenance tools, a safe, clean space for servicing sensitive equipment. It’s built around the work the technician actually does.

Relocatable to Remote Sites

The containerised design makes a strong, durable building that transports via side lifter for efficient relocation and setup. That lets the client service equipment on remote sites and keep drill rigs available, rather than losing time sending equipment back to a fixed central workshop.

Case Study: Custom Designed Gantry Workshop

A client offering ground-analysis services to mining companies was losing time servicing drill equipment with sensitive electronics in heavy drill bits at a fixed central workshop. Our Technical Solutions team built an insulated, air-conditioned workshop to service the drill bits safely and efficiently on site, and designed a unique XY gantry system that moves freely inside the container plus a 1500mm extension beyond the doors for transferring drill bits over 100kg. Certified to AS1418.1 and AS2550.1, the workshop includes specialised storage, workbenches, and a full range of repair tools, a durable, relocatable build that mobilises quickly to remote sites and improves drill rig utilisation.

Custom Designed Gantry Workshop FAQs

How is a gantry workshop different from a standard container workshop?

A standard container workshop gives you a fitted-out workspace, benches, storage, power, lighting. A gantry workshop adds a built-in XY crane system for safely lifting and positioning heavy components, certified to AS1418.1 and AS2550.1. If your work involves lifting parts over 100kg, that’s the difference that matters.

How much can the gantry lift?

The delivered system safely lifts and positions drill bits and components over 100kg, with full reach inside the container and a 1500mm extension beyond the doors for transferring heavy items in and out.

Can the workshop be moved between sites?

Yes. The containerised design makes a strong, durable building that transports via side lifter for efficient relocation and setup, so you can service equipment on remote sites and move the workshop as the work moves.

Delivery Considerations

When arranging container delivery, specify door direction (to cabin or rear) for proper placement, ensure a level surface for smooth door operation, and advise United Rentals of any obstructions to guarantee a safe, efficient delivery.
