Counterbalanced Cranes

Thanks to the extendable lifting arm, they can reach the load even in tighter spaces as well as near obstacles or over perimeter protections. The extandable arm allows them to be particularly suitable for items and materials that need to be placed in less accesible areas or in up high. Their mobility and compact design offers a maximum flexibility especially to those manufacturing plants where the assembly layout and test areas frequently need to be changed. At the same time, they envolve no construction work inside the facility, no mounting procedures and no dedicated space to be installed in.

Wheeled floor cranes eliminate the physical effort and manual operations of the employees, increase the work safety, prevent enjuries as well as reduce the risks of developping occupational diseases caused by musculoskeletal trauma. Due to an intuitive design, the equipment requires no licence and no extensive training for the operators. Thus, they optimize the needed time to perform each task and increase stuff productivity.

In spite of their small dimensions and low weight, portable mini cranes offer good performances and a long life span. Compared to other lifting equipment, they bring low maintenance costs and reduced downtime. At the same time, they keep a low noise level at work, due to the integration of soundproofing components.

The range includes counterbalanced cranes with manual and electric traction that can offer an ergonomic handling of loads up to 2000 kg. They can be equipped with several types of underhooks and, for very specific applications, the cranes can be partially or totally customised to suit the respective needs and requirements.

Applications

Mobile floor cranes are designed to improve productivity and eliminate efforts and injuries caused by manual lifting of the loads. They ensure a precise load lifting and positioning in front of loading ramps, conveyors, assembly lines or machines. Due to their reliable construction, they can be employed in every industrial sector.

Automotive industry implies frecquent daily operations of lifting car parts and components or materials as well as replenishing certain items that are not automatically delivered during standard feeding operations. Counterbalanced cranes can easily handle a wide variety of products from the automotive sector, such as motors, tires, moulds or large tools. The swivel jib crane models are particularly suitable for the assembly processes inside production lines and for picking of missing components. The hook height, of up to 5500 mm, allows the handlig of even broad or long parts and components.

Metallurgical industry enquires particular attention when moving the large and heavy materials and items. Counterbalanced cranes, equipped with specific hooks for coils and with suitable bands for lifting steel products, allow an easy, safe and fast handling of the products that weight up to 2000 kg. Most applications make use of customized below-the-hook accessories, such as clamps or magnets, which can recommand these cranes as a more efficient choice to stationary jib arms or overhead cranes.

The higyenical demands from the pharmaceutical industry impose high levels of reliability and cleanliness to every equipment that comes inside the facility. The stainless steel models of counter balance cranes meet all these demands when handling and lifting containers, packaging equipment and components as well as bulk loads. Additionally, some of the stainless steel models offer anti-corrosion protection against chemical agents and allow compliance with the most rigorous hygiene standards.

This equipment is equally suitable for chemical industry, where they are employed to handle extruders, mixers, agitators and dispersers or other machinery which requires frequent cleaning and maintenance. Thanks to their lifting height capacity, the mobile cranes can easily reach the point of operation and lift a wide variety of mixer covers, stirrer blades or cylinders even in the presence of perimeter protections. Once the components have been lifted, the operators can bring them to the maintenance department in total safety.

Logistics and distribution companies need fast and reliable equipment to pick and move those goods that are not handled on pallets to different areas for unpacking or dispatch. The pick and carry counter balance floor cranes are recommended for logistics companies that have an intensive and continuous flow of products in variable dimensions and weights. The rotation of the jib arm allows the operators to fastly and easily take the products from the containers and place them on the pallets for storage or preparation for deliveries.

Construction industry often faces challenges in safely and correctly lifting and positioning of panels, windows and coverings of various materials. Most of the times these operations cannot be done manually becouse of the products dimensions and weight or the height of the mounting areas. Mobile mini cranes are an indispensable equipment for reducing the risks of accidents and occupational diseases, as well as of material damaging at the construction site. Some of these cranes are provided with a foldable mast for a facile transportation inside vans and with removable weights that enables them to be placed on freight elevators with load limit. These models can be lifted up to the working floor level by conventional construction site cranes due to some special eyebolts that are installed on their frame. Moreover, they are equipped with highly maneuvrable elastic wheels that allow the operators to overcome uneven grounds.
