FREE STANDING SYSTEMS
CraneVeyor is an innovator of work area crane systems. Over 20 years ago we designed and built the TransLifter line of underhung freestanding work area cranes, and in 1998 we integrated our experience into the enclosed track TranStation family of work area cranes. TranStation’s are pre-engineered, rated from 250 thru 4000 pounds, and are designed and priced to bring cranes to applications where cranes might or might not have been considered.
TRANSTATION: Free-Standing Cranes
Designed for maximum efficiency and ergonomic performance, our Pre-Engineered TranStation Crane Systems provide an economical and versatile solution for material handling needs up to 2-ton capacity. These systems are engineered with precision to ensure optimal functionality in diverse industrial and commercial settings.
TRANSTATION FEATURES INCLUDES:
1. Trolleys and trucks have machined steel wheels with sealed, lifetime lubricated ball bearings. Wheels are tapered to match the track and reduce rolling resistance. Trucks have guide rollers
2. TranStation cranes are ergonomically justified, with a free moving system requiring approximately 1 pound to push 100 pounds, resulting in less effort, reduced injuries and increase productivity.
3. Enclosed steel track is low weight and high-strength with tapered rolling surface that stays clean, reduces wheel wear and provides lower rolling resistance.
4. Systems have up to 34′ bridge lengths, to 30′ runway spans and runway lengths as required.
See the following TranStation Free Standing Crane information:
Free Standing TranStations are entirely self-supporting and independent of the building structure, with no need for bracing or building tiebacks, and only require a 5″ concrete slab. Other “free standing” systems need help to stand alone and require sway bracing to reduce movement and at least a 6″ reinforced concrete floor for support. Since no extra support is required Free Standing TranStations are the best choice for outside installations and other open areas.
The Free Standing structure is engineered to rugged seismic requirements. You receive the benefits of a more rigid and durable system as a standard. The rigid frame has unique 45degree connections and structurally rigid runway connections. Structural steel tubing is used for the frames and all bolted ASCE approved connections are provided, unlike other manufacturers who use clamp/slip connections. The low profile design requires minimum headroom. The modular design makes it easy to add sections or to relocate.
Because TranStation cranes are so easy to move the runways must be level. Columns are installed using anchors with leveling nuts for up to 1″ adjustment of the columns to compensate for uneven floors. For more deviation, columns can be ordered different heights. The bases are grouted after leveling for full bearing on the slab (nominal 5″, 2500 psi concrete) so soil bearing pressure under the slab is less than the 1000 psf.
Systems are pre-engineered, easy to order, simple to layout and easy to install. There are hundreds of models for 250# thru 4000# capacity, 34′ bridge lengths, up to 18′ hook bearing height, 30′ runway spans, and unlimited runway lengths. Select the model closest to your requirement and we will adjust the details to your requirements. A dimension drawing is provided for your review and approval prior to manufacture.
TranStation Free Standing systems include:
- Enclosed track bridge, with end trucks, stops and trolley for a hook-on hoist/device.
- Enclosed track runways, complete with support frames, hanger assemblies, splice assemblies and mounting hardware. Even the floor mounting bolts and grout are included.
- Festooned electrical system for bridge and runway, complete with trolleys, 4-conductor #14 flat cable, clamps and stack-up system.
- A layout drawing, assembly instructions, and manuals are provided with each system.
