Material handling in warehouse environments
Featured Product from Columbus McKinnon Corporation
Workstation Cranes
Workstation cranes cater to loads within a designated workstation or work area. Mounted on an overhead track system or permanently affixed to the floor, they facilitate smooth movement along the track. They also help improve ergonomics for operators reducing fatigue and enhancing productivity. Particularly suitable for smaller warehouse spaces, workstation cranes allow precise load positioning within a dedicated lifting area.
What is a workstation crane?
Whether modifying your manufacturing processes or building a new plant, choosing the right lifting system to get the job done is essential. Workstation cranes, one type of overhead lifting system, facilitate lifting and moving heavy loads within a workspace, making positioning materials and equipment more accessible and safer for workers to use. As a result, they help improve productivity, increase quality, and enhance workplace safety.
Many types of workstation cranes are available, each offering unique advantages and disadvantages that make them suitable for different work applications. Types of workstation cranes include bridge cranes, both ceiling-mounted and freestanding, gantry cranes, jib cranes and enclosed track rail systems.
Columbus McKinnon manufacturers all components that comprise a workstation crane, from the chain and hoist to the end trucks and rail trolleys. Whether your application requires intersecting runways or is a linear workstation, our workstation crane specialists are here to help you create the perfect solution.
