The Guardian Gantry System

Not all gantries are created equally.
While they may look similar, gantries differ a lot between companies.

Our gantry is designed to be efficiently installed, adaptable to suit all site configurations and has a high-profile appearance to represent the value of your brand.

Sizes

We guarantee we will find a gantry solution to fit your site dimensions. If our standard modular gantry sizes do not fit your needs, we will fabricate 10kPa gantries to suit.

With our adaptable system, we can join our gantry modules end-on-end and side-by-side as needed, maximising overhead public protection.

We’ll do the hard part of working out which gantries are needed for your site. Just give us the dimensions you need covered and we’ll design a gantry plan to suit.

Installing the Guardian system

Our system can be installed using 4 different methodologies, depending on access to your site.

Franna Crane

We can use a 25t Franna to lift the gantry with precision.

We even have our own rigger and dogman on crew to make the process faster.

Forklift

We can bring our forklift to your site to install the gantry where precision is needed and where obstacles might obstruct a lifting method.

This is particularly useful if the gantry is to be placed under an awning or around obstacles such as signage, bus stops, seating or trees.

Wheels

Yes you read that right!

If the gantry is needed in a location where a forklift can’t access (eg. inside a shopping centre, or over a suspended slab), we can attach wheels under the gantry legs to move the gantries into place.

Tower Crane

Where required, we can use a tower crane to lift the gantry into place, although this is not always as efficient as other methods.

Which option we use to install the gantry will depend on access to your site. We will always choose the safest and most efficient methodology for gantry installation.

Methodology for Installation

The Guardian Gantry system was designed to minimise safety risks onsite and maximise efficiency. No matter which method you’re using for installation, our team will efficiently install the gantry in the following order:

  1. Unload gantry from transport, and place on the ground.
  2. Attach handrails to the gantry lid while on the ground.
  3. Lift the gantry lid into the air to attach gantry legs.
  4. Lift the gantry higher, and attach adjustable gantry foot.
  5. Place gantry in position, and apply structural bolts to join gantries to form one solid structure.
  6. Adjust gantry feet heights to level the gantry.
  7. Repeat for each gantry module.
  8. Attach bracing as required.
  9. Waterproof the top of the gantry and secure handrails.
  10. Tidy up and remove rubbish.
  11. Quality Assurance check of the gantry before leaving site.

Install Time

Let us minimise your site downtime so you can keep to your program.

Our gantry system was designed with efficiency in mind.

We know if it goes up and comes down quickly, your site will be more efficient, have less downtime, and reduce your associated costs such as traffic control.

The time to install and dismantle the gantry depends on: 

Generally, installing a straight run of gantry down a footpath with clear access will be the most efficient install. Dismantling the gantry is a much quicker process, as we do not need to level the gantry. We will give you an accurate timeframe during our gantry quote process.

How are we quicker?

Trust us, it’s not by cutting corners. Instead, we focus on design and training.

Our gantry system was designed with additional lifting features so that we can unload and erect our gantries more quickly. We also provide rigorous training and internal testing of our employees to ensure they perform efficiently while on your site.

While each job is different, we stand by our claim that Guardian Gantry has the quickest installation time in all of Australia.

Appearance

Choose a gantry that highlights the value of your brand. A well-presented gantry sets a great first impression for the public and construction site visitors. This is especially true if a gantry is on your footpath in front of your site.

If your brand matters, choose a gantry with a high-profile appearance.

We take pride in the quality of our work, to ensure that your brand value is upheld.

Manufacturing

Trust the safety and quality of the product you’re hiring.

You can be assured of the quality and compliance of the Guardian Gantry as we fabricate all components in-house.  

We are fully compliant to Australian Standards and adhere to traceability requirements in our supply chain.

We source steel from local suppliers, which is tested to meet Australian steel standards. All steel is marked for traceability and manufacturing data records are kept.

Our manufacturing team follow Australian Standard AS5131, ensuring all welding of gantry components is completed to standard.
