Mobile crane solutions for garages – Flexible between all workstations
Handle engines, transmissions and heavy vehicle components –
where you need them, without taking up valuable hall space.
- No fixed floor anchoring
- Can be moved between workstations
- Even with limited hall space
Challenges in the modern vehicle workshop
- Various workstations require crane support for heavy components
- Typical loads: engines (150-400kg), gearboxes, axles, body parts
- Limited hall space makes fixed crane installations difficult
- Underfloor heating or working pits prevent foundation work
- Flexible workplace utilization depending on the order situation
- Ergonomic strain on employees when lifting heavy parts
Why mobilecranes are ideal for workshops
- No floor interference: Also works with underfloor heating if the floor has sufficient load-bearing capacity for the weight of the crane
- One crane for all workstations: Higher capacity utilization instead of several individual solutions
- Ready for immediate use: no construction work or hall interruption
- Space-saving: can be quickly moved to the side when not in use
- Future-proof: flexibly adaptable for workshop expansion or redesign
Technical advantages for workshop environments
- Robust construction: durable use in the workshop environment
- Smooth operation: controlled movements for safe handling
- Low-maintenance technology: internal carriage guide minimizes wear
- Various load capacities: from 100 kg for small parts to 500 kg for heavy motors
- Compact design: Fits into typical workshop environments
Typical applications in the car workshop
- Motor removal and installation: Safe handling of different motor types
- Gearbox replacement: Ergonomic support for heavy gearboxes
- Body parts: Handling doors, hoods, rear caps
- Chassis work: Axles, suspension struts and heavy chassis components
- Accident repair: Safely remove damaged parts and insert new parts
- Tire service: support for heavy truck tires or special tires
Special applications for commercial vehicle workshops
Workshops that also repair trucks, buses or construction machinery benefit from the WK III with a load capacity of up to 1000 kg:
- Heavy truck engines: Commercial vehicle engines often reach 600-1000kg
- Complete drive units: Handling motor-gearbox combinations as a unit
- Heavy body parts: Truck doors, front flaps, trailer couplings
- Construction machinery service: Hydraulic components and heavy attachments
- 360° swivel range: full flexibility even with bulky truck components
Ergonomics and employee health
- Easy on the back: heavy components no longer have to be lifted manually
- Safe handling: controlled movements reduce the risk of accidents
- Less fatigue: Employees remain productive for longer
- Improved quality of work: more relaxed working leads to better results
- Long-term health: prevention of musculoskeletal disorders
Economic efficiency for workshops
- Higher capacity utilization: One crane serves several workstations
- No foundation costs: immediate savings on ground work
- Reduced repair times: Ergonomic handling speeds up work processes
- Lower medical costs: fewer absences due to physical overload
- Flexible capacities: Crane follows the current workshop capacity utilization
