Workstation Crane
Workstation cranes allow you to move and position heavy loads almost effortlessly. Composed of a moving bridge running between two parallel tracks, these crane systems are an ideal solution for machine shops and assembly lines.
Their sturdy construction and ergonomic design reduces strain on workers, while simultaneously boosting efficiency, reducing downtime, improving workflow, and protecting your products at every stage of the manufacturing process.
Types of Workstation Cranes
Workstation bridge cranes are built to meet the varied and hectic demands of modern production lines. Easily combined with electric chain hoists, manual hoists, and pneumatic lifting devices, they’re built to support a wide variety of applications.
Freestanding Cranes
Bolted directly onto your factory floor, freestanding crane systems are an ideal solution for buildings with high ceilings or multiple workstations with varied ceiling heights. Because they do not place any strain on the superstructure, they provide more options for positioning and layout.
Ceiling Mounted Cranes
Designed for buildings with limited space. Installing a ceiling mounted crane keeps floors free of obstructions while also allowing for adroit material handling.
Monorail Cranes
An alternative to bridge cranes, monorails let you transport heavy objects through confined spaces inaccessible to ordinary lifting devices. Freestanding and ceiling mounted crane systems are available, for greater flexibility.
Aluminum Cranes
Lightweight and durable, aluminum bridge cranes can support up to 2,000 pounds and require less maintenance than heavier systems. The low weight also offers less rolling resistance to manual hoists.
Steel Cranes
Hard and durable, steel bridge cranes can support up to 4,000 pounds. Their extra strength allows for the construction of longer spans and lets you lift heavy loads over prolonged distances.
Advantages of Workstation Cranes
Overhead workstation cranes help simplify the production process, making it easier to perform complex, precise, and repetitive actions. Besides smooth, safe, and efficient lifting, bridge cranes also:
Maximize Your Working Area
Workstation cranes suspend objects in mid-air, freeing space for workers to carry out their tasks.
Provide Flexibility
Workstation crane systems can be completely customized, including their height, width, and length, to match the needs of your space.
Integrate with Other Lifting Devices
Bridge and monorail cranes can be incorporated seamlessly into other areas of your business with the addition of extra tracks, curves and transfers.
Enhance Safety
Like traditional bridge cranes, workstation cranes offer enhanced ergonomics. Once the object has been hoisted, operators no longer need to physically exert themselves to transfer loads from one station to another, reducing the risk of injury and accidents.
Extend the Lifespan of Trolleys and End Trucks
Our enclosed track cranes protect against wear and tear. The tracks surround the trolley wheels, protecting them from impact and blocking dirt and debris that can wear them down over time.
Full Installation & Service
The cost of poor installation and maintenance is high. Repairs are not only expensive; they lead to significant downtime and lost revenue. Companies need reliable partners to provide their systems with a stable foundation and develop preventative maintenance programs.
We provide full service support, ensuring equipment is set up according to industry standards. Regular inspections catch problems early, so worn and damaged parts can be replaced before they break down. Global Crane has one of the strongest service records in the industry. Our technicians are standing by 24/7 to keep your workstations running smoothly and make sure your cranes are always adding to the bottom line.
