Aluminum Bridge Cranes
Schmalz aluminum overhead crane systems offer impressive low friction operation. A favorable weight-load ratio ensures that even heavy work pieces are handled effortlessly. The equal distribution of loads on all the supporting rollers prevents the transport trolleys from tilting. The modular design allows the crane system to be attached to any steel structure or other superstructure.
Ergonomic handling thanks to outstanding low-friction operation and low moving mass
Reduction of throughput times due to high working speed and positioning accuracy
Cost-efficient adaptation to individual requirements and lift capacities
Maximum safety through independent strength calculation of all load-bearing components according to the FEM method
Designed according to the latest state of the art (DIN EN 13001)
Awarded the seal of approval by Aktion Gesunder Rücken e. V.
Schmalz vacuum lifters and crane systems support the back and musculoskeletal system when lifting light and heavy loads. They reduce strain and help to make the work environment ergonomic. This is confirmed by the independent association Aktion Gesunder Rücken e. V. (AGR) with its seal of approval.

High Load Capacity for Sections
The load diagram can be used for reference when selecting the section size while taking a specific maximum load and the suspension distances into account. The suspension distances stated are based on a deflection of 1:300, the common value for calculating crane systems. Smaller deflection values such as 1:400 may be required for certain applications.
Example: With a maximum load of 200 kg and a predetermined suspension distance of 5,000 mm the profile SRA-140 is used. The maximum deflection is then 17 mm (5,000 mm / 300).
