Work Station Crane Free Standing

By Gorbel - Ergonomic Overhead Lifting Solutions

Overview

Work Station Cranes cover a rectangular work area and have a modular designed that permits easy expansion or relocation. They can be installed on any normal 6" reinforced concrete floor.

Gorbel Work Station Bridge Cranes
can increase productivity by an average of 28% and can be a factor in contributing to worker safety.

Specifications

Capacities from 150 to 4000 lbs
Rectangular Coverage with up to 34’ bridge and 124’ runway standard
Standard support distances of 20, 25, and 30 feet.
Easy to move and position loads
Modular design for greater flexibility
Doesn't require existing support structure

Applications

Applications with lighter loads (less than 4000 lbs.)
Parts Assembly
Machining
Palletizing loads
Injection Molding
Warehouse loading docks
Process Equipment Maintenance
Truck Service Centers

Enclose Track Design

Both the aluminum and steel Gorbel Work Station Crane Systems utilize enclosed track that is high in strength and low in weight. Major advantages are:

— Enclosed track cranes are up to three times easier to move than traditional bridge cranes.

— The design virtually eliminates dirt and dust from the rolling surface, thus reducing wear on the wheels of the trolley and endtrucks.


— The smooth running surface means lower rolling resistance.

— The low profile of the steel track allows the system to be installed where headroom is a problem.

— The low track weight reduces the applied forces exerted on the supporting structure.

— Long spans allow systems to be installed where support assemblies are infrequent (up to 30 feet with steel truss design). This reduces the possibility of the support columns interfering with the work cell layout.

— Four distinct sizes of track (250, 500, 1000 and 2000 series) enables you to keep bridge weights and costs to a minimum.

Features & Benefits

Enclosed track / easy movement and long life
Rigid runways / superior load positioning – no movement or “crabwalking” of the bridge
Ease of Installation / install on any standard 6" concrete floor
Smooth rolling surface / Easier movement of bridge and trolleys
Multiple track profiles and spanning capabilities/Adaptable, flexible, and cost competitive

Options & Accessories

Aluminum or stainless steel
Aluminum or coped aluminum bridge
Cantilevered supports
Seismic Zone IV
Motorize

Work Station Cranes Ceiling Mounted

By Gorbel - Rectangular Coverage of Work Areas with Crane Mounted on the Ceiling (Adequate Building Structure Required)

Overview

With ceiling-mounted systems, supporting steel does not interfere with the handling operation. Ceiling-mounted systems require a building with an adequate overhead structure to hang the crane.

Applications:

Applications with lighter loads (less than 4000 lbs.)
Parts assembly
Machining
Palletizing loads
Injection molding
Warehouse loading docks
Process equipment maintenance
Truck service centers

Work Station Options

By Gorbel

Telescoping Bridges

Designed to extend outside the normal reach of a bridge crane. Capacities range from 100 lbs. up to 1000 lbs. and the amount of cantilever varies per application (up to 10 ft. possible at 750 lbs.).

Tractor Drives

Tractor Drives provide motorized movement on new or existing Gorbel enclosed track Work Station Cranes and Monorails. The drives are available for steel track or aluminum track and are designed for indoor use.

Two-Point Synchronized Lifting

G-Sync™ Technology Single
Point of Control - designed to lift long loads, lifting both ends of the load in one synchronized motion.

Maintenance Gates

Designed to make it easy to service overhead crane systems with multiple bridges, and tool rail with multiple trolleys.

Interlock/Transfer Cranes

For capacities up to 4000 lbs. This option is used for transferring loads from a bridge crane to monorail spurs or storage rail and vice-a-versa. They can also be used to move loads to separate rooms or work cells.
