Why Choose a Pre-Engineered Tarca® Crane System? Industry’s Best Warranty 2 Years on all Crane systems. Designed for Crane Applications Gorbel® Crane Systems specify which beam to use for each application....

Gorbel’s pre-engineered crane systems are built using our unique patented Tarca® Track, which continues to be the benchmark of the overhead material handling industry. Its three piece welded construction is a compound section of a mild steel top flange and web and a specially rolled high-carbon steel lower rail. Tarca® systems are characterized by consistently straight rail sections and durable, high quality Tarca® components. Our Tarca® systems offer unmatched versatility, durability and ease of installation. Why Tarca® Track Over Structural Steel Track? A structural I-beam is rolled from soft,...

TARCA® TRACK: ENGINEERED FOR CRANE APPLICATIONS Strong, Durable Rail Tarca® vs. I-beam High carbon flange means longer track life A common source of track wear is a process known as peening. Peening is the gradual movement of metal over time, caused by the rolling action of wheels. Because of I-beam’s mild steel construction, peening tends to occur unevenly, weakening the beam flange and restricting smooth easy travel. Tarca® Track’s raised tread design and extra hard alloy steel construction slow down the peening process. The full width of the raised tread wears evenly, extending track life...

Our Weight Is In All the Right Places Rugged, Long Lasting Components Efficient Design for Spanning Hardened wheels to ride on high carbon track The thickness and width of Tarca®’s web and flange for each size have been carefully engineered to maximize strength and loading capability while minimizing weight. Tarca®’s three piece welded construction: Our forged, heat-treated wheels are built to last. They provide years of smooth, easy movement and reliable service. They have been: • Delivers maximum load carrying capacity to dead weight ratios • Designed to roll with minimal resistance (2 times...

Case Study: Tarca®: A Better Solution than I-Beam Tarca® Keeps Truck Maintenance Company Moving A Western New York company provides maintenance and customization on heavy truck parts. Heavy parts weighing between 1 and 3 tons are moved into the building and then 25’ across the building to a staging area where they are worked on. Problem Prior to installing a Tarca® system, the company was using fork trucks to move the parts, but the fork trucks were causing congestion, parts damage, and safety issues. The company was also looking to maximize the floor space in the building so they could make...

Tarca® Interlocks How do our interlocks operate? 1. Both bridge girders approach the crossover track. The operator pushes a button powering a gear motor that activates a pair of rollers (see Photo 1). 1 2. The bridges line up with the crossover track. The rollers move from the interlocking beam toward a wedge type engaging mechanism on the crossover track (see Photo 2). 2 3. The rollers make contact with the wedge and self-align within 1-1/4" horizontal range. As both beams are interlocked, forks on powered and non-powered beams are raised for free passage of carrier (see Photo 3). 4. To disengage...

Gorbel® Bridge Components 1 Tarca® Rail Tarca® Track features specially rolled high-carbon alloy steel rail with raised treads welded to a steel flange and web. Tarca® is designed to provide maximum spanning capability for heavy loads while minimizing the weight of required material. Its material properties resist peening and assure a longer operating life than ordinary track designs. 2 Photo shows carrier with drive and SAFPOWRBAR ® electrification. 3 5 Gorbel® carriers provide the connection between the lifting device and the bridge. Our carriers are designed for years of peak performance:...
