Workstation Cranes, also known as Enclosed Track Cranes, are a type of industrial crane that consists of a moving bridge that runs across parallel runways. The runways can be supported by a Free Standing Structure, by the Facility Ceiling, or a combination of the two. These solutions provide an ergonomic and cost-effective alternative solution to overhead bridge crane systems.

FREE STANDING WORKSTATION: SPECIFICATIONS

• Capacities: 250 to 4000 lbs
• Bridge Lengths, overall: up to 40’
• Runway Spans: up to 40’
• Height — Floor-to-Trolley Clevis: 10’, 12’, or 14’ heights are standard

Freestanding Workstation Bridge Cranes bolt directly to your facility floor. Freestanding systems are ideal for facilities with high ceilings, multiple workstations with different ceiling-heights, or locations with obstructions, such as air ducts, skylights, or overhead storage.

In addition to our custom engineered systems, we make pre-engineered systems that include everything but the hoist and anchor bolts. All systems meet or exceed ANSI/ASME B30.11 and ANSI/MMA MH27.2 standards for underhung cranes and monorails.

CEILING-MOUNTED WORKSTATION BRIDGE CRANES

• Capacities: 250 to 4,000 lbs.
• Bridge Lengths, overall: up to 40’
• Runway Spans: up to 40’
• Height — Floor-to-Trolley Clevis: determined by ceiling structure

Ceiling-mounted bridge cranes are great for applications with limited floor space, facilities with large mobile equipment, and facility layouts that might change in the future. Ceiling-mounted systems also allow you to readily expand runway lengths and the number of bridges and add links to monorail crane systems.

In addition to our custom engineered systems, we make pre-engineered systems that include everything but the hoist and sway bracing. All systems meet or exceed ANSI/ASME B30.11 standards for underhung cranes and monorails.

ALU-TRACK® WORKSTATION BRIDGE CRANES & RUNWAYS

• Applications: workstation bridge cranes and monorail cranes
• Material: extruded high-strength 6061-T6 aluminum alloy
• Capacities: 250, 500, and 1,000 lbs.
• Bridge Span Lengths: up to 17 feet, dependent on the desired capacity

Spanco Alu-Track® Workstation Bridge Cranes and Runways are made with our aluminum enclosed track for performance that’s lightweight, durable, maintenance-free, and non-corroding.

Alu-Track aluminum enclosed tracks reduce the overall system weight, so you can more easily move the bridge. Plus, for Ceiling-Mounted Workstation Bridge Cranes, Alu-Track systems mean less weight on your building support structure.

HEADERLESS WORKSTATION BRIDGE CRANES AND MONORAILS

• Capacities: 100 to 1000 lbs
• Bridge Lengths, overall: 8′ or 12’
• Runway Spans: 8′ or 12’
• Height — Floor-to-Trolley Clevis: 10’, 12’, or 14’ heights are standard

Headerless Workstation Bridge Cranes and Monorails provide full lifting coverage and maximize all of your floor space in your garage, barn, or shop by allowing the system columns to fit in the corners of your building without getting in the way. These systems are flush mounted to columns that install easily and can be relocated if needed. Columns require six-inch reinforced concrete for proper installation.

All systems meet or exceed ANSI/ASME B30.11 and ANSI/MMA MH27.2 standards for underhung cranes and monorails.
