WORKSTATION CRANES FEATURES

ENCLOSED TRACK PROFILES MAKE FOR AN ERGONOMIC DESIGN
The MET-TRACK steel track design is one of high strength and low weight by combining the running track profile with standoff reinforcement to considerably increase span distances. The V shaped profile of the running track ensures alignment of the trolleys and end truck and prevent dirt accumulation inside the tracks. Machined wheels with crowned tread and precision sealed bearings fitted ensure absolute minimum rolling resistance and provide long operational life.

SYSTEM FEATURES:

Four running track profiles to select from 400, 500, 600 and 700 Series Long spans allow systems to be installed with the minimum of supports, maximizing the work cell layout Enclosed track cranes are up to three times easier to move than traditional bridge cranes Small sized profiles for bridges, runways and headers allow systems to be installed where headroom is a problem

EASY INSTALLATION AND MODULAR DESIGN

The MET-TRACK pre-engineered modular design allows for easy relocation and/or expansion by simply adding runway sections and/or additional bridges. Splice joints connect the track sections and are complete with vertical and horizontal adjustment screws, facilitating precise alignment of the track sections. Floor mounted cranes can be installed on any normal 6 reinforced concrete floor. Support columns are designed to AISC specifications. If no movement of the support assembly is preferred then we recommend the use of bracing (not included). For further details contact your dealer. For ceiling mounted cranes it is imperative that you seek professional advice on whether your building structure is capable of withstanding the forces generated by the workstation crane. A data sheet giving details on the applied forces relative to a crane system is available please contact your dealer for further information.

WORKSTATION CRANES DESIGN & ERGONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS

BRIDGE LENGTH...

Keep the bridge length to a minimum, but bare in mind that the active travel for each bridge length is restricted due to the end stops and trolley lengths. Ensure your selected kit provides you with required active travel.

HEIGHT...

In order to reduce the operational resistance to an absolute minimum we recommend that the trolley load pin height (LPH) is kept as low as possible with practical considerations applied to the minimum headroom requirements. LPH is measured from the floor to the trolley load pin from which the hoist / lifting device is suspended.

RATED CAPACITY...

The capacity is the live load that can be lifted by the crane system. The workstation crane is designed with an allowance of 15% for the weight of the hoist and the trolley; therefore a 1000lb bridge includes the allowance covering the combined hoist and trolley weight of up to 150lbs.

ERGONOMIC, VERSATILE & ECONOMICAL FREE STANDING & CEILING MOUNTED WORKSTATION CRANES

RUNWAY LENGTH...

The length of the runway is generally unlimited and solutions can be provided for supports of 20, 25 and 30. For ceiling mounted systems 6 supports are also available.

WORKING LOAD...

The working load must be selected according to each application task. Although the effort to move the crane bridge is small it can be further reduced by selecting the lightest size / weight of the system to suit the application i.e. for a 400lb maximum load select a 500lb capacity and not 1000lb.

DUTY...

Operational time up to 100% of the work period and loads being lifted up to 50%, or below, the rated capacity or operational time less than 50% of the work period and loads being lifted are greater than 50% of the rated capacity.

WORKSTATION CRANES TYPICAL CRANES

CONFIGURATIONS

BASIC CRANE

The MET-TRACK crane system consists of bridges, runways, runway joint kits, end trucks, hoist trolleys and end bolts. These basic components can then be supported by standard floor mounted structures, ceiling mounted assemblies or special arrangements according to the application requirements. In addition it is possible to add either festoons or conductor systems to enable powerfeed for the chosen lifting device.

Floor mounted systems are not a permanent part of your factory and therefore can easily be relocated in the future. The installation is often much simpler and does not apply stresses to the building roof structure.

FLOOR MOUNTED

MONORAIL SYSTEMS

Using the same profiles as the crane runways we also have available a complete range of monorail capacities. We can offer either a single line configured monorail or one with curves, switches and turntables to form a closed loop facility for such as paint lines etc. Again these can either be floor or ceiling mount.

CEILING MOUNTED

Ceiling mounted systems are ideal when floor space is limited or access by other equipment is required where floor support steels would normally be needed. This option does require that the support structure is suitable for the loads imposed.

WORKSTATION CRANES COMPONENTS

END CLAMP

Fitted at the end of the crane bridge and at the end of the runway festoon section. Utilized as standard on all systems with festoon power supply.

FESTOON TROLLEY

Utilized on power hoist systems for carrying the flat/round cable or hose from the static source to the moving hoist or bridge

END TRUCK

Provides a smooth running connection between the bridge and runway track. The horizontal side guidance wheels guard against crabbing action which can arise if the runway tracks are installed slightly out of parallel.

SPLICE KITS

Connect the top chord of the structure and link track sections for precise alignment.

OPTIONAL CONDUCTOR SYSTEM - PLEASE SEE THE RELEVANT CHAPTER WITHIN THIS BROCHURE

ERGONOMIC, VERSATILE & ECONOMICAL FREE STANDING & CEILING MOUNTED WORKSTATION CRANES

END STOP

Fastened into the track via a through bolt. Resilient rubber bumper helps absorb impact forces at the track ends. (standard on all systems)

FESTOON EXTENSION (Option Illustrated)

Supplied for attachment to the end of one runway track to provide a storage section for the retractable cable/hose trolleys. Allows complete end to end travel of the bridge.

HOIST TROLLEY

Facilitates the suspension of the hoist/lifting device from the bridge.

WORKSTATION CRANES OPTIONAL FEATURES

RUNWAY & BRIDGE CONDUCTOR SYSTEMS

The principle of a workstation bridge crane is to make the work of a user easier by designing the system to move freely. When power is required to the lifting equipment it is traditional that standard festoons provide this function, however not without problems. As a standard upgrade option the MET-TRACK system has available an enclosed conductor system, named 4DUCTOR, that can be fitted to the runway and bridge if festoon loops would pose a problem. This simple to add system offers no resistance to the easy movement of a workstation crane but benefits the installation of end to end travel removing the need for festoon storage. FEATURES OF 4DUCTOR: Continuous Copper Conductors Range of Standard Capacities Minimum Brush Wear Totally Enclosed Profile Simple to Install & Maintain Conductor Capacity Current Capacities Protection: Housing Lengths: Temperature Range: Maximum Speed: up to 4 50, 80, 125A IP65 6.5ft and 13ft -30C to +60C 200ft/min

ERGONOMIC, VERSATILE & ECONOMICAL FREE STANDING & CEILING MOUNTED WORKSTATION CRANES

WORKSTATION CRANES BRIDGE CONFIGURATIONS

These can be placed inside the runway tracks to allow each bridge an independent working area. This means each bridge is isolated into a separate span which minimizes the runway track capacity.

INTERMEDIATE STOPS

Bridge buffers are suspended from two trolleys in the runway to create a predetermined minimum distance the bridges can operate from each other.

BRIDGE BUFFERS

Multiple bridges can be used with mixed capacities with only the runway steelwork having to be of a heavier design i.e. two 500lb bridges can work anywhere when installed on 1000lb runway kits.

WORKSTATION CRANES OPTIONS

TRACTOR DRIVES

A standard range of tractor drives are available for applications where powered traveling of the crane bridge and/or hoist trolley is required.

TRANSFER UNITS

Designed to provide a safe, efficient, and easy to operate transfer of a hoist trolley from the bridge to an adjacent bridge or monorail system.

TELESCOPIC BRIDGES

Designed to run within a standard bridge and their extension facilitates working outside the normal crane working area.

CANTILEVER BRIDGE

Where required one or both ends of a bridge can be cantilevered beyond the standard 12 overhanging in order to enable a crane to cover an increased working area.
