What is a workstation crane?

• Freestanding workstation crane systems are typically used to support manufacturing activities, transporting materials or components from one process to the next.

• This crane machine allow workers to move materials by hand using a hoist or other attachment. 

Working principle of workstation bridge crane:

• Workstation bridge cranes can be installed by mounting directly to a building’s ceiling support structure, or with a freestanding system of columns.
• They move loads from side to side and backward and forward, covering a rectangular area.
• A lifting and horizontal movement device is put on a bridge beam of one or more horizontal girders, supported at either end by end trucks.
• The end trucks are attached at right angles to the bridge and move on fixed runways.

Why choose workstation crane systems?

• Workstation cranes systems can be easily relocated when needed, so they are ideal for rented facilities or when workflow changes are necessary.
• Workstation bridge cranes eliminate manual lifting, allowing a single worker to move loads from one workstation to another.
• They can supplement or replace multiple jib cranes or forklifts used for material handling and free-up existing overhead cranes for larger loads.

Workstation Bridge Cranes can be freestanding or ceiling-mounted and can be fully customized, including telescoping bridges, motorized drives, and more. Contact us and Learn more!
