Free Standing Work Station Cranes Assist To Improve Productivity

Problems and Solutions

Our client operates a 10,000 square foot metal fabrication facility in Pennsylvania. Their fabrication process involved part assembly and welding, which took place at individual workstations throughout the facility. Originally, jib cranes mounted on warehouse support columns were used by workers at each station. The jib cranes were effective for work done within an individual station, but did not provide the ability to move an assembly to the next stage of fabrication. 

The client searched from our website and found us, asked if there are any local cooperative customers to check our crane design and solutions. We provided our overseas reference list with him to check. At the same time, our sales engineer given professional suggestions and solutions according to the specific factories applications. After listening to the solution, the client decided to invest in a 1000kg capacity Freestanding Workstation bridge crane.

The system has a runway length of 35 meters, covering a majority of the fabrication process. The dual 6.5 meters traveling bridges allow workers using an overhead hoist to move assemblies effortlessly along the smooth enclosed track bridge crane. The free standing bridge crane is versatile enough that workers can use it to cover multiple work areas, which has successfully provided a safer and more productive workspace for our client.

Free Standing Cranes Makes for Easy Movement & Long Life

• Enclosed track. You can erect the work station bridge crane anywhere on the facility floor. It provides for easy movement of the heavy load along the moving surface.
• Easy to Install. Reduced bridge dead weight equals better ergonomic solutions. Freestanding Bridge Cranes can be installed on any normal reinforced concrete floor. Each column is anchored by four bolts, thus eliminating the need for field welding.
• Modular Design. The pre-engineered modular kit design permits easy expansion or relocation. The runway length can be increased by adding runway sections, free standing support assemblies and additional bridges as needed.
• Ease of movement. This kind of assembly allows for the easier movement of bridge and trolleys, and there is no debris buildup along the track. Consistent, easy movement ensures the longevity of trolley wheels. Which means less maintenance, less possible repairs, and less downtime.
• Superior load positioning. When the bridge moves along the enclosed track, there is no unexpected shifting, such as swaying, shimmying, or crabwalking. The load is transported efficiently from point to point because every part of the frame is assembled to ensure superior load distribution.
• Flexible precision. With a sturdy design, workers can count on the precise location of the load as they perform their tasks. As your product requirements change, the work station can be moved to accommodate your workers’ needs on the assembly line.

Will You Need the Freestanding Bridge Crane?

• DQCRANES Freestanding Workstation Bridge Cranes provide highly-effective cost-efficient lifting and moving solutions, especially when:
• You need overhead crane coverage for a large area––up to 40-feet wide and with unlimited length. With interconnected parallel systems, you can cover your entire building.
• You built your new buildings. Our bolt-together freestanding systems can be readily relocated, either within your plant or in an entirely new location.
• You want to be able to easily expand or modify your overhead crane system.
• Your roof support is inadequate for a Ceiling-Mounted Bridge Crane. Typically, a standard thick reinforced concrete floor is all that’s needed for our freestanding bridge cranes for non-seismic applications.
