Aluminum rail jib cranes offer T-slot design
- July 3, 2017
- Product Release
- Materials Handling
Engineered Material Handling (EMH) offers the new AL Systems™ aluminum rail jib cranes in 250- and 500-lb. capacities and spans up to 15 ft. The cranes are suitable for numerous applications, including underneath bridge cranes, in areas serving multiple workstations, for outdoor loading docks, and in machining and assembly areas where several jib cranes might overlap.
The exclusive T-slot design allows splicing together two pieces of rail. With this design, installation with a variety of integrating equipment, such as lifters and end effectors, chain hoists, and smart lifters, is simplified. It also eliminates bumps when a load is moved over track splices.
EMH T-Slot splice design also eliminates bumps when a load is moved over track splices.
With lightweight aluminum track profiles, the cranes can be configured to suit almost any application requirement. The anodized aluminum extrusions and enclosed rails help maximize strength, provide durability, and add aesthetics. The articulating cranes do not require movement at right angles. Operation is smooth, and starting force is low, even when the load is at the end of the bridge, the company states. Anti-kickup nylon wheels deliver smooth and safe movement of the trolley inside the enclosed rail, the manufacturer states.
