In the book, Duerr includes a detailed history of the development of hydraulic gantry systems, which were first introduced in 1963. He also provides a discussion of the basic features and capabilities of gantries, including their main components and functions. He looks at the types and nature of the loads that act during a lift and provides a stability analysis. Other topics include lift planning considerations, engineering of header beams and track systems, industry standards, safety, and risk management.
