Workstation cranes are lightweight, modular lifting systems designed for high-frequency, repetitive material handling tasks in localized work areas. These cranes are typically installed above workstations and allow one or two operators to move loads effortlessly and efficiently. With low rolling resistance and customizable track layouts, workstation cranes provide ergonomic, safe, and cost-effective lifting solutions for a variety of industries.
Workstation cranes are ideal for light-duty operations, offering precise control and smooth movement. They are commonly found in assembly lines, laboratories, maintenance zones, and packaging stations where fast, repetitive, and accurate lifting is needed.
Runway Tracks: Installed overhead or supported by columns
Bridge Beam: Moves perpendicular to runway; supports hoist
End Trucks: Guide the bridge along the runway
Hoist: Usually an electric chain hoist for lifting/lowering
Trolley: Carries the hoist along the bridge beam
Control System: Pendant or remote for operating the crane
Power Supply System: Cable festoon or conductor bar
