Material Flow A Breeze with Cantilevered Supports

The work flow is so seamless, you dont have to stress about how youre going to get something out of there once you have it built. Bringing in parts, taking out assemblies either way its a breeze because we dont have any obstacles. Plus, weve reduced fork lift traffic from our previous facility.

Two Gorbel work station cranes were installed in parallel assembly areas with cantilevered supports and two 1000 pound aluminum bridges per system. Not only did the work station crane allow effortless movement of materials within the work cell throughout assembly, but by supporting the systems runways without a header beam, it made material flow in and out of the work cell easier. The cantilevered supports enabled a 3-ton capacity overhead crane to deliver parts and pick up finished products directly from the work space without setting the load down, eliminating all manual lifting as well as most use of fork lifts.
