Basic Questions To Ask Before Selecting a Crane System
WHAT IS THE SIZE AND SHAPE OF THE WORK AREA YOU ARE LOOKING TO COVER?
Work Station Cranes offer square/rectangular coverage where Jib Cranes offer circular coverageIS THE CRANE GOING TO BE MANUAL OR MOTORIZED?
When load weight or operation frequency makes manual rotation non-economical, impractical, or unsafe motorized rotation may be the answerWHAT IS THE TYPE AND EXTENT OF THE STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AVAILABLE?
Floor supported, ceiling mounted, or wall/column mountedWHAT IS THE CAPACITY OF THE LOAD?
"Less is More, Don't Overcrane" - lifting and moving product that weighs 200 lbs. would only require a 250 lb. bridge - don't go overboard with a 500 lb. bridgeWHAT IS THE CRANE'S ENVIRONMENT?
HOW WILL THE CRANE BE USED IN DAILY OPERATION?
