The benefits at a glance
High stability and design rigidity
- Torsionally rigid
- Optional rolled beam girder provides additional cost-savings
- Connections between the girder and end trucks are manufactured to precise machined tolerances for minimum wear
- End truck of torsionally rigid, welded box construction
- Excellent travel characteristics and minimum wear due to low-maintenance drives
- Travel wheels of highly wear-resistant GGG 70 spheroidal-graphite cast iron with self-lubricating properties
Highly cost-effective
- Low deadweight reduces cost – crane girders made of computer-optimized box sections
- Rope hoist helps reduce operating cost due to extended 2m+ service life classification (1,900 hours of service at full load)
- Reliable monitoring and preventive maintenance due to advanced CAN Bus technology
Efficiency and performance
- Control pendant suspended for separate travel on the crane girder
- Power supply to the trolley via high-flexibility flat cable with protective ground conductor
- Optional radio control with display and proportional pushbuttons

Equipment options
With our wide range of equipment options, we match our universal cranes to the individual requirements of your application:
- control by pendant switch
- control via interactive radio control with proportional pushbuttons
- end carriages with horizontal guide rollers to accomodate unique runway requirements.
- limit switches or slack rope relays protect the hoist and load from damage
- zone control system prevents collisions with obstacles along the trolley and bridge travel paths
- anti-collision protection and crane distance controls ensure the safe operation of several cranes on one runway
- cranes can be fitted with two trolleys with simultaneous/independent control for handling of long and non-standard loads
