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 under CSA W47.2 certification by qualified aluminum welders 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 polyurethane 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.
