WORK STATION BRIDGE CRANES

One of the most efficient ways to reduce workplace manual

handling whilst retaining floor space and layout flexibility is by

installing an overhead workstation crane system. Internal Track

Work Station Crane systems are a proven method to increase

productivity, improve quality and provide a safer work environment.

The workstation bridge cranes cover rectangle areas allowing for

safe lifting and product handling over a large area – effectively

creating a ‘safe work cell’ for users. The ergonomic work zone

created by a work station crane has the added advantage of freeing

floor space for production. All lifting tasks within the work cell are

accessible by the crane.

The ease of movement is the same throughout the entire work cell

– unlike other crane systems that tend to bind and are more difficult

to move when the load is the corner of the work cell or off to the

side. These cranes are installed so that the runways are rigid, and

do not move laterally or longitudinally. In addition the floating end

trucks feature horizontal wheels to prevent binding, the

combination of these design features results in unmatched ease of

positioning and ease of movement.

Workstation Bridge Cranes are designed with a simple focus: to lift

loads with minimal effort and maximum efficiency. All components

in these systems are engineered to reduce friction and weight. The

pre-engineered modular kit design permits easy expansion or

relocation. The runway length can be increased by adding runway

sections, freestanding support assemblies and additional support

assemblies as needed.

Key Features of the Enclosed Track Work Station

Crane systems:

>

>

The wheels are tapered to match the 2

o

taper of the track and which

helps centre the trolley for reduced rolling resistance and wheel

wear.

>

>

Enclosed track design virtually eliminates dirt and dust from the

rolling surface.

>

>

The smooth running surface reduces rolling resistance.

>

>

The Low Profile of the steel track allows installation where headroom

is limited

>

>

Long spans translate into fewer runway support points, less

interference of work cell layout, longer bridge lengths and free

standing capabilities.

>

>

Five weight capacities (125kg, 250kg, 500kg, 1000kg & 2000kg)

enable bridge weights and cost to be kept to a minimum.

>

>

Unique Dura Comp 4 wheel’s that outperform steel wheels in

endurance and lower rolling resistance.
