gantries
Overhead crane supports
Gantries is the plural of gantry, a frame structure that spans an area or straddles something.
A gantry crane moves along rails above a work area.
Gantries support signals and signs over highways, hold equipment for rocket launches, or position cameras over sports fields.
Steel gantries lined the shipyard.
