Advantages of profile track lightweight overhead cranes compared to conventional I-beam overhead cranes:
- Ideal for lifting and moving items around a workshop area
- Designed to suit customer requirements and supplied as components in a kit form
- Can be extended, altered or moved to new locations in order to grow with your business
- Suitable for lifting loads up to 2000kg SWL
- Cross travel bridges can span up to 12m
- Long travel down shop rails can be any length with support centres up to 10m apart
- Can be supported directly from an existing ceiling or from a freestanding steelwork structure (usually a bespoke fabrication to suit the working environment)
- The system can have any number of cross travel bridges
- They can be integrated with overhead conveyors, to utilise your working environment and make best use of your available space
- Lightweight overhead cranes are made from profile track sections. The Niko track profile has tapered edges so that the trolley wheels always run centrally and cannot crab, like conventional cranes
- Trolley wheels have multiple internal bearings enabling them to run very smoothly and require minimal force to push heavy loads
- They can offer very low headroom solutions in order to achieve the greatest possible lifting height within a height restricted area
- Manual or powered variations are available for lifting/lowering, left/right cross travel and forward/reverse long travel
