Keep the bridge length to a minimum, but bear in mind that the active travel for each bridge length is restricted due to the end stops and trolley lengths. Ensure your selected kit provides you with required active travel.

In order to reduce the operational resistance to an absolute minimum we recommend that the trolley load pin height (LPH) is kept as low as possible with practical considerations applied to the minimum headroom requirements. LPH is measured from the floor to the trolley load pin from which the hoist / lifting device is suspended.

The capacity is the live load that can be lifted by the crane system. The workstation crane is designed with an allowance of 15% for the weight of the hoist and the trolley; therefore a 500Kgs bridge includes the allowance covering the combined hoist and trolley weight of up to 75Kg.

The working load must be selected according to each application task. Although the effort to move the crane bridge is small it can be further reduced by selecting the lightest size / weight of the system to suit the application i.e. for a 180Kgs maximum load select a 250Kg capacity and not 500Kg.

Operational time up to 100% of the work period and loads being lifted up to 50%, or below, the rated capacity or operational time less than 50% of the work period and loads being lifted are greater than 50% of the rated capacity.

The length of the runway is generally unlimited and solutions can be provided for supports of up to 9m.
For ceiling mounted systems 1.8m supports are also available.
