Workstation Cranes: An Ergonomic and Cost-effective Crane System

05 Jul, 2021

Workstation Cranes – The Variety and The Customization.

  • Workstation cranes are a perfect solution to a specific task problem such as production lines or individual workstations.
  • They can be ceiling-mounted or freestanding, with single or double girder bridges, or a monorail system.
  • They can be customized easily in the design process using standardized parts to fit a myriad of environments and tasks.
  • They have a larger working area than jib cranes and workstation cranes usually have powered hoists (some have manual chain hoists) for vertical lifting.

For all workstation cranes safe, efficient, material handling is the key elements in a customized design system.

Problems Solved With A Custom Work Station Crane.

  • Faster Installation: Workstation crane systems offer an ergonomic and cost-effective option, without the architectural and engineering investments often involved when installing an overhead crane. Workstation cranes with standard profile sizes and bolt-on connections can be installed very quickly.
  • Low Headroom: One common problem found in existing facilities is low ceilings. Usually, with some ingenuity in the workstation cranes design. Single and double girder low profile cranes are specifically designed to give the best solution for achieving optimal hook height in low headroom situations.
  • Large Area Solutions: The working span of a workstation crane can be quite large, filling the large portions of the facility if necessary. Depending on building and equipment obstructions the entire facility can be serviced by workstation cranes to give you maximum coverage and a versatile working space.

Each application requires a custom solution based on these considerations:

  • Required lift – relative to clearance to lowest obstruction.
  • Required span – this affects beam selection.
  • Required hook travel.
  • Runway – the loading applied to the runway system is considered in the design.

Dongqi Cranes will provide you with custom solutions, which is well worth the money invested.
