Abstract of the Disclosure A load-handling gantry having a single, unitary, bridging beam, and leg, brace and mounting components supporting said beam with provision for adjustment of gantry span, height, and spread, while maintaining gantry mobility. The mounting components are adjustable to enable use of the gantry in a number of configurations including inboard, outboard, and combination leg bracing, and with freedom for use under cantilever conditions. In the preferred embodiment, a predetermined camber, or longitudinal splay angle, of the plane of each pair of legs is provided, to decrease movement between the gantry legs and the beam, in the direction lengthwise of the beam, when the gantry is under load, thereby stabilizing the gantry in that sense. The selected splay angle is maintained by means which couple the leg bracing struts to the beam and to the legs. Any selected angle, under the various arrangements of leg bracing, may be had, and may be maintained, by such coup- ling means, which provide alteration of the effective bracing strut length, without the necessity of actually substituting struts of different lengths. Lateral clearance between the beam, and the legs and bracing struts, is main- tained in the various configurations, at a value such as to permit free move- ment of the leg and strut assemblies along the length of the beam, and also a measure of lateral flexibility of the gantry. All adjustments relative to the beam may be made through external frictional gripping means, cooperable with a standard imperforate beam.
