Workstation Bridge Cranes

Gorbel Ergonomic WorkStation Bridge Cranes can handle the toughest overhead lifting tasks.Workstation Cranes are available in FREESTANDING and CEILING MOUNTED designs.

Gorbel Free StandingCranes, which can be installed on any normal 6-inch reinforced concrete floor,feature a pre-engineered, modular design that can easily expand as your workcenters expand.

Gorbel Bridge CraneFeatures:

·       Capacities to 4000 lbs.

·       Bridge Lengths up to 34 feet

·       Seismic Zone 4 Design

·       Available in Steel, Stainless, Steel, and Aluminum.

·       Enclosed track cranes are up to 3X easier to move thantraditional bridge cranes.

·       The design virtually eliminates dirt and dust from the rollingsurface. This reduces wear on the wheels of the trolley and end trucks.

·       The smooth running surface reduces rolling resistance.

·       Easy to expand and relocate.

Gorbel WorkstationCranes are a proven way to improve productivity, increase quality, reduce backinjuries and provide a safer work environment. More and more companies areusing Gorbel Bridge Cranes to effectively solve their material handlingproblems and improve the performance of their business.

Not only doworkstation bridge cranes solve handling problems, they also provide users withseveral benefits:

·       Increased productivity with Workstation Bridge Cranes help yourworkers work more productively than traditional I-beam cranes. A studyconducted by the Human Factors Laboratory at Rochester Institute of Technologyfor Gorbel shows that work station cranes increase productivity up to 28percent compared with I-beam cranes. The productivity increase is possiblebecause bridge cranes require less effort to move than I-Beam cranes. In mostapplications, particularly high cycle time applications, customers are able tocost justify the crane system with the productivity increases alone

·       Ease of movement and positioning – Gorbel Ergonomic MaterialHandling Cranes can move a load 3x easier than a traditional I-beam crane. Thisease of movement and positioning results from Gorbels unique enclosed trackdesign, high strength-to- weight ratio, and rigid runways with anti-binding endtrucks.

·       Increased Quality – Enclosed Track Cranes can increase thequality of goods while reducing the cost of damaged or rejected parts. Loads areso easy to move and position with workstation cranes, much of the damage thatis done to the product during the manufacturing process is eliminated.

·       Improved work force utilization – Gorbel Work Station Cranes canhelp you reach the typical ergonomic goal in material handling: Allowing a taskto be performed by 90 percent of your workers. For instance, the RochesterInstitute of Technology study commissioned by Gorbel shows that less than 10percent of men can safely handle a 4,000-lb. load on a manual I- beam crane,but more than 99 percent can do so on a Gorbel Work Station Cranes.

·       Modular Design – Gorbels Pre-Engineering Crane Kit designpermits easy expansion or relocation. The runway length can be increased byadding runway sections, free standing support assemblies and additional bridgesas needed.

·       Better work force utilization – Since physical strength becomesless of an issue with Gorbel Ergonomic Workstation Crane, you can better utilizeyour work force. This is especially true considering that today’s work force isaging, and it is becoming increasingly female.
