Pulpit RFQs that mix terms need a clear bridge crane vs gantry joystick map — bridge (runway) cranes travel on elevated runways; gantry cranes span the floor on legs, changing axis duty, travel length, and operator sight lines [Source: ABB crane joystick and control checklist themes; overhead crane OEM pulpit layout guides]. Both often use shared multi-axis masters: Trunsin AT16 and AT20 with axis maps frozen per drawing.
Compare replacement scope on overhead crane joystick replacement, port STS context on port crane joystick controller, hoist gates on hoist joystick controller, and KST chair tenders on KST crane control joystick.
Bridge crane vs gantry joystick — axis layout table
| Element | Bridge (runway) crane | Gantry crane |
|---|---|---|
| Travel axis | Bridge along runway | Whole gantry travels on floor rails |
| Typical pulpit | Fixed cab or walk-around pendant | Leg-mounted or remote pulpit |
| Stick count | Dual master common on heavy bridge | Often AT16 single/dual by span |
| Duty notes | Long travel, vibration on bridge | Leg twist affects centering mounts |
The same bridge crane vs gantry joystick SKU family applies — difference is axis assignment and mount stiffness, not a separate catalog name [Source: ABB process crane control documentation — multi-axis master conventions].
RFQ fields both crane types share
- Hoist / trolley / bridge (or gantry travel) — label each stick axis — multi-axis checklist.
- Detents and dual-speed — detent gate selection.
- Chair vs standalone pulpit — KST crane control.
- Radio backup — radio pairing.
Frequently asked questions
AT16 for both bridge and gantry?
Yes — axis map and mount differ; send pulpit photo on RFQ.
When choose AT20 over AT16?
Heavier dual-master chairs and larger grip modules — configure both on tender.
Port STS vs indoor bridge?
Port duty adds marine IP — port crane controller post.
Overhead replacement same sticks?
Same AT platform — overhead replacement.
