Flexible Gantry Crane Alternative Solution
Movement of heavy loads, such as work in progress, tooling, components, and sub-assemblies, presents a significant challenge in the material handling industry. Gantry cranes or overhead cranes are often used to move large parts through the plant, factory or warehouse. A Microcrane® offers a more flexible solution compared to A-frame hoists. Safely pick and carry. Fits in doorways. No operator license required. Use in tight spaces, outdoors or indoors (non marking wheels won't scuff flooring). Use for difficult maneuvers and precise movements.
Eco-frienfly (zero emissions, low sound levels).
Microcrane® adjustable gantry crane alternative products are ISO certified, CE certified and meet OSHA small crane compliance and ASME B30.5 standards. CE Machinery Directive 98/37/EC and 2006/42/EC and CE Electromagnetic Compatibility 2004/108/EC. Each mobile, telescoping workstation crane undergoes rigid quality control, made with quality USA components and come fully assembled, ready to use (quick set up time) with an industry-leading two year warranty. Portable, speedy, overhead work area hoists are powered with 24v marine battery power or electric plug in versions with variable speed control.
Full clearance for parapet walls, balconies, machinery, terrace, mezzazine, and rooftop obstructions.
