Do you understand the basic parts of a crane? The gantry is where the boom hoist basically connects the counterweight and the machine to the boom. like this http://www.tpub.com/eqopbas/12535_files/image876.jpg.

In heavy lift attachments several manufacturers have a dead type mast that does not move. like this http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQabIZjX3SY4dOyyTfV-mUVN3HK0tuMSOrUmplHWfXAtciwvTzJ The boom in the back is the mast.
