Overhead Cranes

Efficient light-duty cranes improve safety and handling across work zones.

Light-duty overhead cranes designed for smooth, low-effort handling of glass components, reducing manual lifting risk and supporting efficient movement around factory work zones.

Smooth, Effortless Movement

Bridge and trolley follow operator motion to minimise strain, fatigue and injury risk.

High-Quality Trolley System

German-engineered bridge and trolley components ensure precise, reliable lifting.

Configurable for Any Work Area

Span, reach and number of bridges tailored to factory layout and workflow.

Flexible Structural Support

Available as freestanding systems or mounted to existing building structure.
