More Information

Ace Industries Inc. has been building stand alone workstation cranes for many years. Workstation cranes provide ideal, cost effective material handling solutions. If you rent your building then stand alone systems do not become a permanent part of a structure once installed, allowing for relocation. If your structural building support is inadequate for an overhead ceiling mounted crane then the only mounting requirement is a standard concrete building floor (in most cases). If a specific area needs coverage and you don’t want to tie up your existing overhead crane then a stand alone workstation bridge crane systems can provide coverage for individual work areas. Workstation Cranes makes movement easier for an operator who could be pushing a 1000 lb. load, however the operator will experience the force of approximately 10 lb. to begin moving the load and 8 lb. to continue moving the load (100 to 1 ratio). Also a manual crane operates more quickly than a motorized crane. If the application requires moving heavier loads up to two tons or bridge travel over an inaccessible area, then a motorized system can be used efficiently. Ace|Gaffey is the most experienced crane installation company in the Southeast and Gulf region. Ace|Gaffey has three major hoist and crane part stock-houses and distribution centers, one in Atlanta, GA, one in Houston, TX, and one in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Ceiling Mounted Workstation Cranes

With ceiling-mounted systems, supporting steel does not interfere with the handling operation. Ceiling-mounted systems require a building with an adequate overhead structure to hang the crane. Ceiling Mounted bridge cranes are a great solution to keeping floors clear.

Features and Benefits: Enclosed track / easy movement and long life Rigid runways / superior load positioning No movement or “crabwalking” the bridge No support structures so work areas are kept clear of obstruction Ease of Installation Smooth rolling surface / Easier movement of bridge and trolleys Multiple track profiles and spanning capabilities Adaptable, flexible, and cost competitive

Stand Alone Workstation Bridge Cranes

Free-standing (floor-supported) systems do not put stress on the building’s overhead structure. Installation is usually more straightforward, and these cranes are also easier to relocate in the future. These systems require a reinforced concrete floor of at least 6 inches.

Features and Benefits: Enclosed track / easy movement and long life Rigid runways / superior load positioning No movement or “crabwalking” the bridge Ease of Installation / install on any standard 6" concrete floor Smooth rolling surface / Easier movement of bridge and trolleys Multiple track profiles and spanning capabilities Adaptable, flexible, and cost competitive
