| | | The single girder overhead crane can be installed to traveling rail and base installed on the brackets of building pillars. This enables usage of a relatively larger capacity cranes and because it makes the most effective use of space below ceiling rafters, a wider lifting range is assured. Smooth traveling is obtained by guide mechanism with the side rollers, and girder construction can be designed based on the rated load and span. Moreover, the overall length of the end carriage is shorter, and more effective use of the work space have been obtained by installing the geared motor in better position. A dual speed type crane is available when speed-controlled work is necessary. There is also an urethane wheel type of crane that effectively reduces noise and vibrations in travel. It is recommended for factories near residential areas, duplex office-homes and nighttime work. This type of crane runs by urethane wheel, directly over the top flange of the H-beam, thus reducing noise and vibrations in travel.With these cranes, it is not necessary to install a light rail, thus reducing on installation cost and time. | | • Single speed crane This crane employs the geared motors specially designed by Kito to ensure smooth starts and stops. It is suited for general work. • Dual speed crane This crane is capable of pendant button-controlled speed shift between low and high speed (reduction ratio of 4:1). It is suited for work requiring varied speed operation. • Manual geared type crane This manual geared type of crane balances travel smoothly by synchronizing driving wheel on both side. With a relatively shorter travel distance, it is suited for low frequency work. • SOFTRUN device as option This device electrically controls motor speed for smooth acceleration of the crane traveling for minimizing load swing at start-up. It is highly suited for handling high inertia loads or operating long span cranes. | | |
