      For this scene, the gantries are the star and the landing pad is the co-star., so I'm taking my time thinking about their design.

                    Some scene info update.

                    The landing pad itself is actually a turntable and on rails. This is so the craft does not have to land exactly in-line with the gantry. It can turn the craft and move to align the craft with gantry.

                    The gantry retracts away on rails. The landing pads also act a transporter to the hangers. The gantry and landing pad are separate.

                    It's hard to see, but the mounting stairs to both do not touch the ground.

                    Within the gantry tower columns are storage and repair for maintenance crew support. Safety gear, restrooms, tool lockers, etc.

                    The big angular blocks on the bottom rear of the gantry are fuel and battery power. Fuel for the craft, batteries for the gantry.

                    The very center platform seen just above the person's head is a cargo lift. Cargo is loaded from the side openings and then lifted to the craft cargo hatch height. It will be a horizontal telescoping platform. It is also a tool, parts and worker carrier.
