OVERHEAD TRAVELLING CRANE We divide the travelling cranes in overhead and underslung travelling cranes. The difference between the overhead and the underslung travelling crane is that the longitudinal trolleys are mounted on top of or down on the crane track. Travelling cranes are ideal for higher lifting capacities and large span widths. The construction approach is based on beams in longitudinal and transverse direction. GIS travelling cranes ensure full area coverage of goods transport up to 5000 kg.

UNDERSLUNG TRAVELLING CRANE The underslung travelling crane is a popular variation of GIS travelling cranes. The crane tracks are usually mounted directly to the ceiling. For this reason, the longitudinal trolleys are mounted below. This solution allows us to incorporate the standard trolleys. Various construction solutions according to our customer’s requirement demand special versions such as higher hook dimension, overhang load, with or without telescopic version, bypass control or large span widths. YOUR BENEFITS Robust and durable crane systems for long-term, safe use. All of our electric...

LINEAR GOODS HANDLING In many cases, the monorail is the most conventional solution for material transport from A to B. A prerequisite for this that the points can be connected with a line. Variations in the lines are corrected by bends or track switches. The commercial I or H steel profiles are low cost and designed for heavy lifting capacities. GIS manual or motorised trolleys are ideally suited as a complementary system and can be adapted to the flange width of the steel beam by adjustable bolts. Classic monorail With manual or motorised trolley Lifting capacity up to 5000 kg Construction...
