Workstation Bridge Crane to Expand Operations for Car Manufacturer

The customer needed to implement was a material handling operation. Workers needed a way to move car floor assemblies between two workstations, and to move the assembled car body onto a rolling cart to move into a third workstation. With the equipment and capabilities they had in place, lifting and moving the car bodies wasn’t possible. So they contact us to request for a suitable material handling solutions to find the best fit for the application.
 
One solution they looked at was a jib crane. Because the facility didn’t have the space to install a freestanding jib crane, he decided to look at wall-mounted options. However, no available support structures would provide sufficient coverage with a wall-mounted jib crane.
 
Finally we suggested that a freestanding bridge crane would offer the best coverage. Our sales manager and engineer help him select the right components and dimensions and provide a quote for a new system.
