How to Apply Ergonomic Overhead Work Station Cranes These questions and answers can help you determine which type of overhead work station crane best meets your needs. What Type of Crane Is Most Appropriate? What capacity, bridge length, and height? • Bridge cranes cover rectangular areas, while jib cranes cover circular areas. The general rule is “less is more” • Bridge cranes can be hung from the ceiling (see this brochure) or be floor supported (see the Gorbel® Free-Standing Work Station Crane brochure). Jib cranes can be wall or pillar mounted and may require a special foundation (see...

Enclosed Track Design Makes for Easy Movement and Long Life Both the aluminum and steel Gorbel® Work Station Crane Systems utilize enclosed track that is high in strength and low in weight. Major advantages: • Enclosed track cranes are easier to move than traditional bridge cranes. • The design virtually eliminates dirt and dust from the rolling surface, thus reducing wear on the wheels of the trolley and end trucks. • The smooth running surface means lower rolling resistance. • The low profile of the steel track allows the system to be installed where headroom is a problem. • The low track...

Rigid Runways Provide for Superior Positioning of Loads Calculating Applied Forces to the Supporting Structure Gorbel® Work Station Bridge Cranes are installed so that the runways are rigid. They do not move laterally or longitudinally. In addition, Gorbel’s floating end trucks with horizontal wheels prevent binding. The combination of these design features results in unmatched ease of positioning and ease of movement. The bridge travels smoothly down the runways, and movement is unvarying along the way, no matter where a load is positioned on the bridge. This allows superior load...

Anatomy of a Work Station Crane 1 1 HOIST TROLLEYS Gorbel’s hoist trolleys provide the connection between the lifting device and the bridge. The trolleys are designed for effortless movement along the bridge. The stamped body fits most rigid hook or eye lifting devices. • Wheels are tapered to match the 2° 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°F. • All trolleys meet or exceed the ANSI B30.11 specification for underhung...

5 FESTOON CLAMPS Festoon clamps anchor the festooning at the start of the runway and bridge. They also prevent the festoon gliders from exiting the track and they can provide a redundant stop for the end trucks and trolley. 5 9 6 END STOP BUMPERS High-impact molded end stop bumpers are provided on all runways, monorails, and bridges to prevent the end trucks and trolley from exiting the track. The bumpers are bolted to the track to physically limit the travel of the end truck and trolley. 6 7 UNIVERSAL BUMPERS (not shown on pg. 5) A universal bumper can be used as a secondary end stop,...

10 HANGER ASSEMBLIES Standard Hangers for Aluminum Track Each Gorbel® Work Station Bridge Crane or monorail is provided with the number of standard hanger assemblies listed, based on the maximum “L1” spacing shown in this brochure. Sway bracing is required on all systems, except flush-mounted systems. Sway bracing kits are not included in the crane kit (see Sway Brace Fitting caption on this page). Standard hangers for aluminum track, with a 20 inch threaded rod (B7 alloy), are included with each assembly. The threaded rod can be field cut to custom lengths as required. An optional 72 inch...

FLUSH-MOUNTED HANGERS - PARALLEL MOUNT An optional ceiling-support bracket, with beam clips, can be provided for plain track series that require flush mounting. With this bracket, the track is mounted underneath, parallel to the supporting steel. Two beam clips are bolted to the hanger bracket and are clamped to the supporting structure. When using this style, care should be taken to determine if the bridge has adequate overhead clearance. Note: to order this bracket, the flange width of the supporting structure must be supplied. FLUSH-MOUNTED HANGERS - PERPENDICULAR MOUNT An optional...
