The Add-Ons That Make
the Lift Work in the Field.
The accessories on this page adapt a stock eme gantry or davit to the jobsite: pneumatic casters for surface conditions, additional trolleys for multi-point lifts, transport frames for logistics, split beams for tight-access, cantilever beams for obstacle clearance, Eagle Beam for balanced two-point picks, Grip Eye for pump extraction. Stock eme equipment plus the right accessory configuration = a lift system sized to the job, not just the catalog.

Accessory requirements vary by product type and application. eme accessories are engineered to applicable ASME and CSA requirements, welded by a company certified by CWB to CSA W47.2 where applicable, and load-tested where required by the rated configuration.
Six Add-Ons That Adapt the Gantry to the Job.
Casters for the surface. Additional trolleys for multi-point or twin-hook lifts. Frames for the trip between jobs. Beams for the geometry of the lift. Adjustment kits for the height envelope. Stock eme gantry + the right accessory configuration = a crane sized to the job, not the catalog.
Pneumatic Casters
Pressure-rated pneumatic casters that replace the standard phenolic casters when the gantry has to roll across a delicate floor, a roof membrane, or a finished surface a hard caster would mark. Same swivel + lock geometry as the standard caster set.

Additional Beam Trolley
Every eme gantry ships with one beam trolley. Additional trolleys add a second hook position for multi-point lifts, a twin-hook configuration on a single beam, a spare for high-cycle fleets, or an inventory of swap-in replacements for branch shops running multiple cranes. Locking "Surround-Beam" design with roll-and-swivel function.

Steel Transport Frame
A reusable steel shipping frame that holds the disassembled gantry components — beam, legs, trolley, casters — in a forkliftable footprint. Built for LTL shipping between jobsites, rental-fleet movement, or branch-location inventory storage.

Split Beam
A modular gantry beam that ships in two sections and joins on-site. Built for the lift that can't be reached with a one-piece beam — rooftops, remote fields, off-airport recovery, tight service corridors where the assembled beam length won't fit through the access path. Final capacity depends on beam length, splice configuration, trolley, and rated crane model — every split-beam configuration ships with an engineer-stamped capacity rating for that specific length and splice arrangement.

Cantilever Beam
A counterbalanced beam extension that lets a gantry crane reach over an obstacle — a wall, a guard, an adjacent piece of equipment — and lift a load that sits beyond the standard span. Counterweights stack to match the rated load.

Height Adjustment Kit
A lever hoist on each leg lets the height on eme's larger gantries be adjusted with one person on each leg — no forklift, no extra crew. It is used only to change the gantry's height setting with the crane unloaded, not to raise a load.

Grip Eye converts a chain-hoist rig into a one-shot pump-extraction tool — the eme wastewater-service standby. Eagle Beam is the aluminum spreader beam that distributes a two-point load under either a davit or a gantry hook, keeping the lift balanced for long or odd-weighted loads. (Eagle Beam is an extensive accessory set within the eme product line — see the dedicated Eagle Beam page for the full series.)
Grip Eye
A chain-hoist attachment that slides down the chain and hooks into a link, enabling a one-shot extraction of a submersible pump from a well without the chain-of-grabs index-and-lift cycle. Sized to pump weight and well depth.
Quote this accessory→Eagle Beam
Aluminum spreader beam for two-point balanced picks under any eme gantry or davit hook. Distributes the load between two pick points so the lift sits level — essential for long or oddly weighted loads where a single-point pick would tilt. An extensive accessory set within the eme product line; listed here because it pairs with both crane families.
