Mobile crane solutions for welding companies – Flexible between all workstations
Handling heavy steel parts and changing welding jobs –
flexible crane capacity for different workstations.
- For changing welding jobs
- Can be moved between workstations
- No fixed allocation
Challenges in welding companies
- Handling heavy steel components, sheet metal and profiles (50-1000 kg)
- Changing orders require different workstation configurations
- Transporting material between storage, cutting and welding workstations
- Ergonomic stress during manual handling of heavy metal parts
- Various welding workstations occasionally require crane support
- Limited hall space for versatile welding requirements
Why mobilecranes are ideal for welding companies
- One crane for all workstations: Higher capacity utilization instead of fixed allocation
- Flexible positioning: use the crane where welding is currently taking place
- Order-compliant use: adaptation to changing order sizes and types
- Ergonomic support: safe handling of heavy metal parts
- Economical solution: Lower investment than several range cranes
Technical advantages for welding environments
- Robust steel construction: Resistant to harsh environments
- Smooth operation: Controlled movements even with heavy steel parts
- Various load capacities: from 100 kg for profiles to 1000 kg for heavy constructions
- Low-maintenance technology: internal guide protects against dirt such as sanding dust
- Heat resistance: Can be used permanently in warm welding hall environments
Typical applications in welding companies
- Material transport: transporting sheets, profiles and semi-finished products to welding workstations
- Workpiece handling: Positioning heavy steel parts for welding work
- Component assembly: Bringing individual parts together for tacking and welding
- Intermediate storage: moving semi-finished welded constructions between work steps
- Finished part handling: transporting complete welded constructions for further processing
- Maintenance support: handling welding equipment and heavy equipment
Ergonomics and employee health
- Easy on the back: heavy metal parts do not have to be carried manually
- Safe handling: controlled movements reduce the risk of injury
- Less fatigue: Employees stay productive for longer
- Improved quality of work: more relaxed working thanks to ergonomic support
- Healthy workplaces: Prevention of musculoskeletal disorders
Flexibility with changing orders
- Layout adaptation: Crane adapts to different order configurations
- Changing jobs: support where it is needed right now
- Order fluctuations: Crane follows the current workload
- Different project sizes: From individual parts to large series production
- Future-proof: flexibly adaptable for hall conversions or new workstations
Economic efficiency for welding companies
- Higher crane utilization: One crane serves different welding workstations
- Reduced handling times: Ergonomic support accelerates material flow
- Lower medical costs: fewer absences due to physical overload
- Flexible capacities: Adaptation to fluctuating order situation
- Immediate savings on foundation costs: no ground work required
