US Crane and Hoist, Inc. provides Ergonomic Work Station Cranes that give you the handling equipment capabilities you need to get the job done right.

The flexibility and ergonomic safety benefits of a Work Station crane systems have made them one of the fastest growing markets in the material handling industry.

Work station cells have the ability to span up to 30 ft. and lift capacities between 150 and 4,000 lbs. Systems can be monorails, cranes, or fully automated with switches, turntables, and interlocks.

These systems can be fully motorized but this is rarely necessary except in higher capacities, or when the worker cannot position the load due to the presence of an obstruction or hazard such as encountered over a machine, pit, or other inaccessible area.

Ergonomic Work Station Crane products guarantee increased productivity. Depending on the application and customer needs, US Crane and Hoist, Inc. can custom build Work Station Cranes that are sure to handle any project.

Erogonomic Work Station Cranes offer a safe, productive, ergonomic solution for overhead material handling applications.

® Work Area Cranes

CraneVeyor is an innovator of work area crane systems. Over 20 years ago we designed and built the TransLifter line of underhung freestanding work area cranes, and in 1998 we integrated our experience into the enclosed track TranStation family of work area cranes. TranStations are pre-engineered, rated from 250 thru 4000 pounds, and are designed and priced to bring cranes to applications where cranes might or might not have been considered.

TranStation Features include:

• Enclosed steel track is low weight and high-strength with tapered rolling surface that stays clean, reduces wheel wear and provides lower rolling resistance.
• Trolleys and trucks have machined steel wheels with sealed, lifetime lubricated ball bearings. Wheels are tapered to match the track and reduce rolling resistance. Trucks have guide rollers.
• TranStation cranes are ergonomically justified, with a free moving system requiring approximately 1 pound to push 100 pounds, resulting in less effort, reduced injuries and increase productivity.
• Systems have up to 34' bridge lengths, to 30' runway spans and runway lengths as required.

TranStations are complete systems and include the runway structure/connections, runway rails, bridge, trolley, and bridge and hoist festoon electrification. Add a hoist and you're ready to install. The system is blast cleaned and coated with a primer and safety yellow enamel finish for an attractive, tough and durable surface.
