Mobile crane solutions for LEAN workshops and prototype construction – infrastructure that thinks for itself
Flexible support for changing projects and prototypes –
without a fixed infrastructure that has to be replanned every time the layout is changed.
- Suitable for changing projects
- No fixed infrastructure required
- Simply move along with layout changes
Challenges in flexible development areas
- Changing projects with different materials and weights
- Rapid adaptation of workstations to new prototypes required
- Various development stations occasionally require crane support
- Limited budgets for infrastructure in development areas
- Flexible use of space depending on current projects
- Ergonomic support for a wide range of materials
Why mobilecranes are ideal for LEAN workshops
- Adaptive infrastructure: crane adapts to changing project requirements
- Fast project adaptation: no waiting times for conversions or installations
- One crane for all projects: Higher capacity utilization instead of fixed allocation
- No foundation work: Important in laboratories and development areas
- Future-proof: flexibly adaptable for new projects or room changes
Technical advantages for development environments
- Various load capacities: from 100 kg for small parts to 1000 kg for heavy prototypes
- Smooth operation: controlled movements even with sensitive prototypes
- Compact design: Fits into typical laboratory and development environments
- Low-maintenance technology: minimal downtime in project-critical phases
- Clean operation: Internal guide for low-dust environments
Typical applications in LEAN workshops and prototype construction
- Prototype handling: Moving and positioning different development stages safely
- Changing materials: transporting different materials between projects
- Workstation conversion: changing tools and equipment for new projects
- Test setups: Flexible configuration of test setups and test benches
- Project logistics: moving material between different development stations
- Rapid prototyping: support for fast iteration cycles
Flexibility in project work
- Fast project adaptation: reconfigure workstations in hours instead of days
- Different project phases: From concept to prototype to pre-series
- Variety of materials: wood, metal, plastic – depending on the project
- Space optimization: Maximum use of limited development areas
- Iterative development: support for rapid adaptation cycles
Ergonomics and efficiency
- Project focus: developers concentrate on innovation instead of heavy lifting
- Safe handling: protection of sensitive and expensive prototypes
- Less fatigue: team stays creative and productive for longer
- Improved quality of work: more relaxed working leads to better results
- Healthy workplaces: Prevention of overload
Economic efficiency for development areas
- Higher crane utilization: One crane supports various development projects
- Faster project implementation: less time for material handling, more for development
- Lower infrastructure costs: no fixed installations for each workstation
- Flexible resources: adaptation to changing project portfolios
- No foundation costs: particularly important in rented or laboratory spaces
