Spanco gantry and jib cranes in Minnesota
Spanco build the gantry and jib cranes that suit a shop needing a lift over one bay rather than a bridge crane over the whole building. We configure them, supply them and install them across Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota and Iowa.

What we carry from Spanco
The configurators below work the way the order form does: pick capacity, span and height and you get the actual model number, so a quote is raised against a real configuration instead of a description. The hoist underneath, the commissioning, and the repair in five years all come from the same place.
Gantry cranes
593 part numbersFixed and adjustable height, steel and aluminium, plus tripods — configure capacity, span and height and the model number falls out.
Jib cranes
3,019 part numbersFreestanding, wall-mounted, mast type and articulating jibs, from workstation sizes up to the heavy freestanding units.
Workmate electric hoists
26 part numbersThe electric chain hoists Spanco supply to hang under their own cranes.
More than the box
What we do with Spanco hardware
The reason to buy the line from a shop that also fabricates and inspects: the assembly, the certification and the repair all come from the same place.

Questions
Spanco, answered straight
- Can you install a Spanco crane, not just sell it?
- Yes. Our crews install gantry and jib cranes, fit the hoist, commission the equipment and inspect it before it is put to work. One order and one company for the crane, the hoist and the installation.
- How do I know which Spanco model I need?
- Use the configurator on the gantry or jib page — capacity, span and height give you the model number directly. If the application is awkward, your area sales manager will come and look at the bay before anything is quoted.
- Do you service Spanco cranes you did not sell?
- Yes. We inspect, repair and supply parts for Spanco equipment regardless of who originally supplied it, the same as every other brand we work on.
- Does a jib or gantry crane need annual inspection?
- Cranes and hoists in service require periodic inspection, and the interval depends on how hard the equipment works. We inspect on site and document it so you have the record.
