Segmental Launching Gantry is generally used in the erection of Highway Bridge and MRT Bridge, using precast segmental prestressed concrete box beam (PC beam) assembly. HL-Kattor segmental launching gantries have great efficiency in self-traveling construction is the key characteristic. The main beam, leg, and winch trolley make up its construction. The main girder serves as the load-bearing component, while the legs serve as the transverse and longitudinal movement, leveling, support, cross span, cross-scale, and other components. The precast girder is raised using a winch trolley.
