 Gorbel
Work Station Cranes are a proven way to improve
productivity, increase quality, and provide a safer work
environment. More and more companies are using workstation
bridge cranes to effectively solve their material handling
problems and improve the performance of their business.
JRG Handling Systems is a leading Gorbel dealer in our
market area and we install and service.
Not only do workstation bridge
cranes solve handling problems, they also provide users with
several benefits:
- Increased productivity
Gorbel Work Station Cranes help your workers
work more productively than traditional I-beam cranes. A
study conducted by the Human Factors Laboratory at
Rochester Institute of Technology for Gorbel shows that
work station cranes increase productivity up to 28
percent compared with I-beam cranes. The productivity
increase is possible because bridge cranes require less
effort to move than I-Beam cranes. In most
applications, particularly high cycle time applications,
customers are able to cost justify the crane system with
the productivity increases alone.

of Gorbel cranes.
 Ease
of movement and positioning
Gorbel Work Station Bridge Cranes can move a load
three times more easily than a
traditional I-beam crane. This ease of movement and
positioning results from Gorbel's unique enclosed track
design, high strength-to- weight ratio, and rigid
runways with anti-binding end trucks.
Increased Quality
Enclosed track cranes can increase the quality of goods
while reducing the cost of damaged or rejected
parts. Loads are so easy to move and position with
workstation cranes, much of the damage that is done to
the product during the manufacturing process is
eliminated.
Improved work force utilization
Gorbel Work Station Cranes can help you reach the
typical ergonomic goal in material handling: Allowing a
task to be performed by 90 percent of your workers. For
instance, the Rochester Institute of Technology study
commissioned by Gorbel shows that less than 10 percent
of men can safely handle a 4,000-lb. load on a manual I-
beam crane, but more than 99 percent can do so on
a Gorbel Work Station Crane.

Modular Design
Gorbel's pre-engineered modular kit design permits easy
expansion or relocation. The runway length can be
increased by adding runway sections, free standing
support assemblies and additional bridges as needed.
Better work
force utilization
Since
physical strength becomes less of an issue with Gorbel
Work Station Cranes, you can better utilize your work
force. This is especially true considering that today's
work force is aging, and it is becoming increasingly
female.
 Gorbel
Free Standing Work Station Bridge Cranes can handle the
toughest overhead lifting tasks. These cranes, which can be
installed on any normal 6-inch reinforced concrete floor,
feature a pre-engineered, modular design that can easily
expand as your work centers expand.
- Available in steel, aluminum,
and stainless steel.
- Range in capacities from 250
lb. to 4000 lb., with spans up to 30 feet.
- Easy to install, relocate, and
expand.
- Provide ease of movement and
positioning.
- Doesn't put stress on the
building's overhead structure.
- Requires a reinforced concrete
floor of at least 6 inches.
 Ceiling
Supported Bridge Cranes
When a work area must be free from any support
structures that may interfere with operations, ceiling
mounted bridge cranes are an excellent solution to keeping
floors clear. Handling capacities up to 4000 lbs. with
overall bridge lengths up to 34 ft., these systems are
pre-engineered and modularly designed for easy installation,
expansion, and relocation. Customers can install multiple
bridges along one set of runways and greatly increase their
productivity.
-
Available in steel, aluminum, and stainless steel.
- Capacities from 250 lb. to 4000
lb., with spans up to 30 feet.
- Easy to install, move, and
position.
- Support steel doesn't interfere
with the handling operation.
 Gorbel
Monorail Cranes and Monorail Systems
-
Simple monorail cranes are an very cost effective way to
provide point to point handling for simple lifting and
moving tasks.
- Gorbel also
has all of the components to make complex monorail
systems
- They pprovide
a solution for true linear movement.
- Pre-engineered modular designs
enable Gorbel Work Station Crane Systems to be adapted
for more sophisticated applications. This is done by the
addition of extra tracks, curves, switches, and
interlocks (transfers)

 Work
Station Jib Cranes are the ideal substitute for
traditional, heavy I-Beam Jib Cranes. These jibs are
designed to service circular areas and support tool
balancers, air balancers, vacuum lifters, and hoists. When
floor mounted, they can accommodate up to a 360o
rotation. Capacities are available from 100
lbs. to 1000 lbs. with spans up to 16 ft.
- Capacities from 100 lb. to 1000
lb., with spans up to 16 ft.
- Offer 360° rotation.
- Most can be bolted directly to
existing floor without adding special foundations.
- Utilize enclosed track for the
boom assembly, which reduces dead weight for easier
rotation than traditional I-beam jibs.
- Feature a retaining pin through
the pivot pin to help resist accidental upward
dislodgment of the boom assembly.
- Include hoist trolley.
- Roller bearings provide for
unsurpassed ease of movement.
 Wall
Bracket Jib Cranes
Work Station Jib Cranes are the ideal substitute for
traditional, heavy I-Beam Jib Cranes. These jibs are
designed to service circular areas and support tool
balancers, air balancers, vacuum lifters, and hoists. When
column or wall mounted, they can handle up to a 200orotation.
Capacities are available from 100 lbs. to 1000 lbs. with
spans up to 16 ft.
-
Capacities from 100 lb. to 1000 lb., with spans up to 16
ft.
Available in steel (all capacities) or stainless steel
(capacities to 500 lb.).
Offer 200° rotation.
Can be wall or column mounted.
Utilize enclosed track for the boom assembly, which
reduces dead weight for easier rotation than traditional
I-beam jibs.
Use
tapered roller bearings at the pivot points for
unsurpassed ease of rotation.
 Aluminum
Jib Cranes
The AL100 Wall Bracket Work Station Jib Crane utilizes
Gorbel's patented light-weight, high strength extruded
aluminum enclosed track. This revolutionary track reduces
the rotational dead weight of the boom by 56% to 68%, making
the jib up to 40% easier to rotate than comparable I-beam
jibs. The tie rod design minimizes deflection and is more
precise when positioning loads than other jibs.
- Wall mounted or column mounted
- Available in capacities from
150-2000 lbs. and spans up to 20 ft. (not available for
2000 lbs.)
- Utilizes Gorbel's patented
light weight, high-strength extruded enclosed track on
the boom.
- Weighs up to 355 lbs.
- Rotates up to 40% easier than a
traditional I-Beam Jib
- Less deflection for
easier load control and positioning
