Workstation light crane systems are a common sight in industrial settings, particularly manufacturing environments. These small and ergonomic gantry cranes are an ideal solution for regular, repetitive lifting tasks.
But with every business bringing its own set of needs, wants, limitations and requirements, workstation light cranes are far from a one-size-fits-all solution.
Which is where modular componentry workstations come in.
What is a modular componentry workstation crane?
Modular componentry workstation cranes are light crane systems made from prefabricated parts that can be bolted together to form a custom construction, similar to a big set of Lego or Meccano.
This allows a business to create a workstation light crane that is capable of completing the exact material handling tasks that are required of it, while fitting perfectly within the work space.
Modular workstation cranes are an ideal lifting solution for any business that needs to complete repetitive and precise lifting tasks in a dedicated space. Most have load capacities of up to 2000kg and boast high duty cycle ratings. This makes them a particularly popular choice for the manufacturing industry, but these cranes are also a common sight in warehouses, distribution centres and workshops.
Benefits of modular workstation cranes
What advantages do modular componentry workstation cranes have over other light crane systems, or indeed other types of cranes? These solutions bring a range of benefits:
- Designed for your needs: You don’t need to compromise on any element, because modular componentry workstation cranes are designed to meet your specific needs. As a result they can help you maximise your use of space, and seriously enhance the safety, efficiency and productivity of your business.
- Quick to build: Modular workstation cranes are very efficient to design and build. An experienced team can get a sense of the needs of a business and the space that the crane needs to work within, then craft a custom solution in days, rather than the weeks or months that it might otherwise take to build a crane from scratch.
- Future-proofed and Reconfigurable: Because all parts simply bolt together, modular workstation cranes future-proof your investment in lifting equipment. You can add to them, reduce them or relocate to a new position (or even a new building.)
- Access to spare parts: Truly custom cranes can prove difficult to maintain and repair, as replacement parts need to be fabricated. Modular workstation cranes, meanwhile, are built out of prefabricated parts, so you’ll have easy access to spares and can replace elements quickly and easily.
