WORK STATION JIB CRANES: these cranes are an ideal substitute for traditional, heavy I-Beam Jib Cranes. These jibs are designed to service circular areas and support tool balancers, air balancers, vacuum lifters, and hoists. When floor mounted, they can accomodate up to a 360° rotation. Capacities are available from 100 lbs. to 1000 lbs. with spans up to 16 ft.

• Capacities from 100 lb. to 1000 lb., with spans up to 16 ft.
• Offer 360° rotation.
• Most can be bolted directly to existing floor without adding special foundations.
• Utilize enclosed track for the boom assembly, which reduces dead weight for easier rotation than traditional I-beam jibs.
• Feature a retaining pin through the pivot pin to help resist accidental upward dislodgment of the boom assembly.
• Include hoist trolley.
• Roller bearings provide for unsurpassed ease of movement.

ARTICULATING WORK STATION JIB CRANES: This versatile crane can move loads around corners, reach into machines or doorways, and swing under obstructions. This crane is perfect in applications that require an operator to rotate the jib in close to the pivot point. Capacities from 150 lbs. to 2000 lbs. with spans up to 16 ft.

• Floor mounted for easy installation/relocation
• Available in capacities from 150-2000 lbs. and spans up to 16 ft.
• 360º rotation at both pivot points (optional)
• Suited for applications where loads need to be positioned around obstructions, through doorways, or close to a free standing mast or building column.
• Effortless rotation
• Ideal for use with hook mounted lifting devices (electric, air or vacuum)

CEILING MOUNTED BRIDGE CRANES: When a work area must be free from any support structures that may interfere with operations, ceiling mounted bridge cranes are an excellent solution to keeping floors clear. Handling capacities up to 4000 lbs. with overall bridge lengths up to 34 ft., these systems are pre-engineered and modularly designed for easy installation, expansion, and relocation. Customers can install multiple bridges along one set of runways and greatly increase their productivity.

• Available in steel, aluminum, and stainless steel.
• Capacities from 250 lb. to 4000 lb., with spans up to 30 feet.
• Easy to install, move, and position.
• Support steel doesn't interfere with the handling operation.
• Require buildings with adequate overhead structures.

CEILING MOUNTED MONORAILS:

• Provide a solution for true linear movement.
• Pre-engineered modular designs enable Gorbel Work Station Crane Systems to be adapted for more sophisticated applications. This is done by the addition of extra tracks, curves, switches, and interlocks (transfers)
• The monorail curve is a section of track that is formed to provide a 90° bend. Curve sections have a straight area that projects beyond the curve. The curve needs to be supported with three hangers.

  Interlocks/Transfers: Gorbel’s interlock/transfer cranes allow loads to be transferred from a bridge crane to monorail spurs and vice-a-versa. The interlock/transfer cranes are fast and easy to use. The bridge only engages the interlock when the operator actuates it so they do not impede the workers when not in use. The interlock is designed so the trolley stops will lock and not allow the passage of the hoist trolley until the bridge and monorail are in alignment and mechanically linked. The bridge and monorail spur cannot be separated until the trolley stops are fully closed and in the locked position. They can be easily adapted to an existing Gorbel Work Station Bridge Crane.

FREE STANDING WORK STATION BRIDGE CRANES: Gorbel Free Standing Work Station Bridge Cranes can handle the toughest overhead lifting tasks. These cranes, which can be installed on any normal 6-inch reinforced concrete floor, feature a pre-engineered, modular design that can easily expand as your work centers expand.

• Available in steel, aluminum, and stainless steel.
• Range in capacities from 250 lb. to 4000 lb., with spans up to 30 feet.
• Easy to install, relocate, and expand.
• Provide ease of movement and positioning.
• Doesn't put stress on the building's overhead structure.
• Requires a reinforced concrete floor of at least 6 inches.
