special mobile gantry

 

 

mobile gantry

 

Foot Mounted Hoist

 

A special mobile gantry designed to maximise the raised hoist hook height by fitting the Stahl electric chain hoist at the very top!

 

This is achieved by mounting the hoist on top of the trolley (Foot Mounting) travelling between a pair of tracks.

 

We had to make the gantry 'A' frames wider to accomodate the twin tracks and also internal bracing.

 

Safe Working Load: 500 kg

Chlorine Drum Lifting System

 

 

Overhead and Goliath Cranes

 

A lifting system used to lift Chlorine drums from a delivery lorry into a Chlorine store.

 

Due to planning regulation restricting the size of the Chlorine room two cranes were required.

 

A overhead crane on a freestanding structure is used to unload Chlorine drums from a lorry and lower them to the ground.

 

A goliath gantry crane travelling on rails cast into the floor is used to lift the drums from the ground outside and travel into the Chlorine store. Here they are lowered onto a concrete plinth, secured and connected to the water intake system.

 

Safe Working Load: 2 tonne

overhead cranes x 3

 

 

abus overhead crane

 

3 x 2 tonne single girder overhead cranes travelling on the same support structure installed for a new manufacturing facility. Features include:

 

Electric chain hoists

Two speeds in all motions

Energy chain across crane to eliminate hanging cables

Mobile pendant control
