What Type of Crane Is Most Appropriate? What capacity, bridge length, and height? ? Bridge cranes cover rectangular areas, while jib cranescover circular areas. The general rule is less is moreӔ ? Keep capacities to a minimum. Gorbel Work Station Cranesare designed with an adequate safety factor. If you over-buycapacity,Ӕ the operator will need to move extra bridge deadweight, which would not be a good ergonomic solution. ? Bridge cranes can be floor supported (see this brochure) or hung from the ceiling (see the Gorbel Ceiling MountedBridge Crane & Monorail brochure). Jib cranes can be wall...

Both the aluminum and steel GorbelWork Station Crane Systems utilize enclosed track that is high in strength andlow in weight. Major advantages: ? Enclosed track cranes are up to threetimes easier to move than traditional bridge cranes. ? The design virtually eliminates dirt anddust from the rolling surface, thusreducing wear on the wheels of the trolley and end trucks. ? The smooth running surface meanslower rolling resistance. ? The low profile of the steel track allowsthe system to be installed where headroom is a problem. ? The low track weight reduces theapplied forces exerted on thesupporting...

The rated capacity is the live load that can be lifted by thecrane system. The design load for the crane system is based on the rated capacity plus 15% for the weight of the hoist andtrolley (capacity Gorbel Work Station Bridge Cranes are installed so that therunways are rigid. They do not move laterally or longitudi-nally. In addition, Gorbels floating end trucks with horizontal wheels prevent binding. The combination of these designfeatures results in unmatched ease of positioning and easeof movement. The bridge travels smoothly down the runways, and movement is unvarying along the way, nomatter...

1 4 HOIST TROLLEYS Gorbels hoist trolleys provide the connection between the liftingdevice and the bridge. The trolleys are designed for effortless movement along the bridge. The stamped body fits most rigid hookor eye lifting devices. ? Wheels are tapered to match the 2 Ұ taper of the track.This reduces rolling resistance and wheel wear. Wheels contain ball bearings that are sealed and lubricated for life. ? Trolleys are designed to operate in temperatures from+5 F to +200 а F. ? All trolleys meet or exceed the ANSI B30.11 specification forunderhung bridge cranes. > 2 END TRUCKS Gorbel end trucks...

FESTOON CLAMPS Festoon clamps anchor the festooning at the start of therunway and bridge. They also prevent the festoon gliders fromexiting the track and they can provide a redundant stop for the end trucks and trolley. > High-impact molded end stop bumpers are provided on all runways and bridges to prevent the end trucks and trolley fromexiting the track. The bumpers are bolted to the track tophysically limit the travel of the end truck and trolley. > UNIVERSAL BUMPERS (not shown on pg. 5) A universal bumper can be used as a secondary end stop, either internally or externally. STACK SECTIONS...

10 HANGER ASSEMBLIES SPLICE JOINTS FOR STEEL TRACK Each Gorbel Work Station Bridge Crane is provided with theappropriate number of hanger assemblies, based on the number of support assemblies shown in this brochure'sdimensional pages. A splice joint is used to join track sections together and enable the installer to quickly and properly align the joined sections oftrack. Adjusting bolts are provided on the splice joint for levelingand aligning. Hangers for Trussed Steel Track Hangers for steel runways are included with each assembly asshown. The runways are flush mounted under the free standingsupport...
