Engineered Gorbel crane systems are flexible by design. Gorbel has developed an excellent pre-engineered family of crane kits that combine bridges, runways, trolleys and suspension systems for both ceiling hung and freestanding supports.

Engineered Lifting Systems has designed and applied hundreds of Gorbel enclosed track crane systems literally all over the world. So customer requirements that need critical arrangements and innovative support are what we do best.

In a recent application that required three 2,000 pound capacity cranes (bridges), a minimum of free standing support columns, and a quick delivery for one customer, Engineered Lifting Systems working together with Gorbel and specific suggestions from the customer developed  the Gorbel hybrid crane systems seen here.  Click here for a more detailed view in PDF.

This special design Gorbel crane combines a freestanding supported system with 30 foot support centers with 9 ceiling supports, and three floor columns. The columns are within inches of a concrete block wall, where there is no overhead support, yet the columns are out of the way of pedestrian and fork truck traffic.

The system as shown was shipped in 3-1/2 weeks, right on schedule! The customer was up and running on time, within budget while meeting all the physical requirements for hook travel and capacity.

These systems have application form 125# all the way up to 4,000# capacity. Many deliveries are in 7-10 days!
