Mobile crane solutions for production assembly – flexible between all stations

Moving heavy materials between different production stations –
one crane for several locations instead of several permanently installed systems.

  • Flexible material handling
  • No fixed assignment to a station
  • One crane, multiple locations

Challenges in production assembly

  • Transporting material between different processing stations
  • Ergonomic handling of heavy components (100-1000 kg)
  • Changing production orders require flexible material logistics
  • Various workstations require crane support
  • Limited investment budgets for crane infrastructure
  • Layout changes for product changes or optimizations

Why mobilecranes are ideal for production

  • One crane for several stations: Higher capacity utilization instead of fixed allocation
  • Flexible positioning: use the crane wherever it is needed
  • Layout-independent: The crane moves with you during conversions or extensions
  • No foundation work: Fast installation without interrupting production
  • Economical solution: Lower investment than several fixed installations

Technical advantages for production environments

  • Robust construction: durable use in production environments
  • Low-maintenance technology: internal carriage guide and robust design minimize downtime
  • Various load capacities: From 100kg to 1000kg depending on requirements
  • Smooth operation: Controlled movements even at full load
  • Dirt resistance: Works reliably even in dusty environments

Typical applications in production assembly

  • Material transport: Lifting of raw materials to the processing stations
  • Intermediate storage: Moving semi-finished parts between processing steps
  • Loading machines: loading heavy workpieces into processing machines
  • Repacking stations: Transfer material between different containers or means of transportation
  • Picking: Assembling finished parts for dispatch or further processing
  • Maintenance support: handling machine parts for service and repair

Flexibility for production changes

  • Layout changes: Crane adapts to new value streams
  • Product change: support where it is needed
  • Capacity fluctuations: Crane follows the current production capacity utilization
  • Extensions: Flexible use with new machines or workstations
  • Optimizations: Material flows can be improved without crane conversion

Ergonomics in production

  • Easy on the back: heavy parts no longer have to be transported manually
  • Safe handling: controlled movements reduce the risk of accidents
  • Less fatigue: Employees stay productive for longer
  • Improved quality of work: lower workload leads to fewer errors
  • Healthy workplaces: Prevention of musculoskeletal disorders

Economic efficiency in practice

  • Higher crane utilization: One crane serves several production stations
  • Reduced transportation times: Ergonomic handling accelerates material flow
  • Lower medical costs: fewer absences due to physical overload
  • Flexible investment: adaptation to changing production requirements
  • Future-proof: Can be flexibly adapted for conversions or relocations

Frequently asked questions about the mobile crane in production assembly

Can a crane operate several production stations at the same time?

Yes, thanks to its mobility, the crane can move flexibly between different stations and thus support several workstations at different times.

How often can the crane move between stations each day?

With mechanical running gear for occasional changes, with hydraulic running gear also several times a day. The recommendation: hydraulic running gear from more than 2-3

Is the crane also suitable for smaller production companies?

Smaller companies in particular benefit from the flexibility, as one crane can serve several workstations instead of separate crane solutions for each station.

How quickly is the crane ready for use again after layout changes?

As no foundation work is required, the crane can be set up immediately in the new position and used again after a short alignment, provided no structural changes are made.

Does the crane also work in dusty production environments?

Yes, the internal carriage guide protects all moving parts from dust and production dirt and ensures constant functionality.
