Mobilecranes for your industry
Mobile crane solutions for a wide range of production environments
From prototype construction to heavy mechanical engineering – mobilecranes offer flexible load handling solutions where permanently anchored systems reach their limits. On this page you will find application examples from various industries and find out how other companies benefit from mobility and flexibility.
LEAN workshops and prototype construction
In agile development environments, where projects change frequently and different prototypes have different handling requirements, mobilecranes offer the necessary flexibility. No fixed infrastructure means no restrictions when changing the layout.
Typical challenges:
- Changing projects with different materials and weights
- Rapid adaptation of workstations to new prototypes
- Limited budgets for infrastructure in development areas
Logistics and repacking stations
Heavy goods, pallets and large containers (50-1000 kg) need to be moved ergonomically at repacking stations. Mobilecranes create crane capacity where it is needed – and adapt to seasonal fluctuations in the material flow.
Typical challenges:
- Moving heavy goods between different storage areas
- Changing flows of goods and seasonal fluctuations
- Ergonomic load during manual handling
Welding companies
During welding, heavy steel components, sheets and profiles (50-1000 kg) have to be moved between the warehouse, cutting area and various welding workstations. One mobile crane serves all workstations instead of several permanently installed systems.
Typical challenges:
- Changing welding jobs require different workstation configurations
- Transporting material between different stations
- Ergonomic load when handling heavy metal parts
Maintenance work
During maintenance and repair work, heavy system components such as motors, pumps and gearboxes have to be handled at different locations. Mobilecranes provide crane support wherever it is needed – without waiting for free capacity.
Typical challenges:
- Heavy components at various maintenance locations
- Time pressure in the event of unplanned downtime
- Flexible crane support without fixed assignment to systems
Joineries, carpentry and furniture construction
Handling heavy solid wood panels and large workpieces (50-300 kg) ergonomically is a constant challenge in furniture construction. Mobilecranes relieve the physical strain on employees and protect sensitive surfaces through controlled movements.
Typical challenges:
- Large, bulky panels and heavy solid wood parts
- Ergonomic strain on employees
- Protection of sensitive surfaces during handling
Production assembly
When loading production lines, materials (100-1000 kg) have to be transported between different processing stations. A mobile crane for several stations ensures higher capacity utilization instead of fixed allocation.
Typical challenges:
- Move material between different production stations
- Changing production orders require flexible material logistics
- Layout changes for product changes or optimizations
Car repair shops
Engines (150-400 kg), gearboxes and other heavy vehicle components have to be handled at various workstations in garages. Mobilecranes also work in underfloor heating or working pits – where foundation work is not possible.
Typical challenges:
- Various workstations require crane support
- Underfloor heating or working pits prevent foundation work
- Limited hall space makes fixed crane installations difficult
Machining companies
With frequent tool and clamping device changes, heavy tools, turrets and clamping devices (50-500 kg) must be handled ergonomically. The internal carriage guide protects against chips and cooling lubricant.
Typical challenges:
- Frequent set-up processes put physical strain on employees
- Various CNC machines require crane support
- Dirt resistance against chips and cooling lubricant required
Heavy mechanical engineering
Components weighing up to 1000 kg are moved in heavy mechanical engineering – cast parts, machine frames, welded structures. The WK III with internal swivel support enables a full 360° swivel range without foundation work.
Typical challenges:
- Handling heavy components (500-1000kg)
- High costs for several permanently installed crane systems
- Controlled positioning during assembly and machining
