EKDE single-girder suspension

EKDE suspension cranes with box-section girders

Our EKDE suspension cranes are mainly characterised by high torsional rigidity thanks to their welded box-section design. The cranes run on tracks that are simply attached to the existing roof structure – columns to support the crane runway are not needed. This design saves time and money. And it saves space, leaving your entire workshop area available for production. Further benefits?

Computer-optimised box-section profile used for the crane girder for optimum load distribution
Specific sections of the workshop can be served
Lateral overhangs to extend the cross-travel path beyond the runway span
Loads can be handled immediately adjacent to the building wall by means of girder ends tailored to your application requirements
Engineering tolerances for minimum wear

High stability and design rigidity

Crane girder made of torsionally rigid, enclosed box-section profile with reinforced connection (welded diaphragm plates)
Engineering tolerances in the crane girder connection area
Optomum travel characteristics with minimum wear of crane runway and travel wheels
Travel wheels of highly wear-resistant GGG 70 spheroidal-graphite cast iron with self-lubricating properties
Optimum anti-corrosion protection of all parts thanks to pre-treatment of steel components to industry standard

Efficient handling

Crab of low-headroom design with DR rope hoist offering particularly favourable hook approach dimensions to serve the largest possible area
Power supply to the crab by means of highly flexible flat cable with protective earth conductor
Control pendant suspended for separate travel on the crane girder with display for installation monitoring

Individual configuration

Optimum adaptation of the crane girder to the building design thanks to computer-optimised box-section profile
Latching devices available for transfer of trolleys from the crane girder to a monorail track
Optional radio control with display and proportional pushbuttons
