What is a workstation crane system?

Workstation cranes are used to help workers perform tasks with higher efficiency and less risk of injury. Workstation cranes enables workers to move objects or loads by pushing the load with the assistance of the vertical lifting device, such as a hoist, or other attachment. Primarily, workstation cranes can be classified into workstation jib crane, bridge crane, and gantry crane, etc.

Workstation crane system is very useful in improving productivity, increasing quality and provide a safer work environment. A lot of people use workstation crane system to effectively solve the problem of handling their material and improving the performance of their business.

Comparison of workstation crane and tradition crane

Workstation cranes can help workers to be more productive than the traditional cranes. A study conducted conveys that workstation crane increases productivity up to 28 percent compared to the traditional cranes. The workstation crane increases in productivity is possible because the workstation crane requires less effort to move than the traditional cranes.

Features of workstation crane system

Ceiling mounted workstation bridge crane features:

  • Ceiling mounted workstation bridge crane is ideal when the floor space is limited or when the work area must be clear from any support structures which may interfere with operations. However, the ceiling mounted workstation bridge crane requires the building has an adequate overhead structure to support the workstation bridge crane.
  • Easy to install, relocate and improve the working efficiency of your workshop.
  • Enclosed tack design makes the floor mounted workstation bridge crane move much easier than traditional bridge cranes.
  • Trussed steel track design makes longer span possible which provides more flexibility in layout.
  • Aluminum track lowers bridge weight, making movement easier.

Monorail workstation bridge crane

Tie Rod freestanding workstation cranes

The tie rod freestanding workstation crane has the features such as, light-weight, high strength extruded aluminum enclosed track. This revolutionary track reduces the rotational dead weight of the boom by 56% to 68%, making the jib up to 40% easier to rotate than comparable I-Beam Jib Cranes. The tie rod design minimizes deflection and is more precise when positioning loads than other jib cranes.

  • The tie rod jib crane can be mounted to wall or column.
  • Available in capacities from 150 - 2000 lbs. with spans up to 20'
  • Has less deflection for easier load control and positioning.
