Overview
Handling Specialty custom engineered and manufactured a manually moveable gantry to be used to remove and service air conditioners from the roofs of rolling stock in a railway maintenance facility. Once the air conditioner was removed from the railcar it is moved horizontally and lowered through the platform to the ground. This is a manual version of the gantry, however Handling Specialty has also manufactured self-propelling gantries for the rail industry.
