Workstation Cranes Perth & WA
Custom Light Crane Systems for Workshops, Production Areas & Assembly Lines
A workstation crane, also known as a light crane system or manual bridge crane, is a practical overhead lifting solution for handling loads safely and efficiently across a defined work area.
At Materials Handling Solutions, we supply custom workstation crane systems throughout Perth and Western Australia. Each system is designed to suit the customer’s application, available space, load requirements and building structure.
Unlike a standard off-the-shelf crane, the system dimensions are made to suit your site. The bridge span, runway length, lifting height, working area and support structure can all be configured around your process.
Custom Designed to Suit Your Workspace
Our light crane systems can be designed for small workstations, production lines, assembly areas, packing rooms, maintenance bays and larger factory work zones.
Depending on the site, the crane can be:
- Suspended from the roof structure
- Mounted to existing steelwork
- Supported on freestanding legs
- Designed with a combination of legs and supported to an existing structure
- Built as a ceiling-mounted workstation crane
This makes the system suitable for both new installations and existing factories where floor layout, roof structure or access restrictions need to be considered.
Smooth Manual Operation
A manual workstation bridge crane uses a push trolley and bridge to move the load smoothly across the working area. This allows the operator to position materials with minimal effort, improving safety, control and productivity.
These systems are commonly used with electric chain hoists, vacuum lifters, air hoists, tool balancers and other lifting equipment.
Common Applications
Workstation cranes and light duty overhead cranes are ideal for:
- Assembly lines
- Production workstations
- Packing areas
- Manufacturing cells
- Maintenance workshops
- Machine loading
- Component handling
- Repetitive lifting tasks
- Vacuum lifter support systems
- General overhead material handling
Freestanding or Roof Mounted Crane Systems
Where the building structure is suitable, an overhead rail system can be suspended from the roof to keep the floor area clear.
Where roof mounting is not suitable, the crane can be supplied as a freestanding workstation crane with its own support legs. This provides a stable, self-supporting bridge crane system that can be installed without relying on the building structure.
Built for Australian Workplaces
Our workstation cranes are designed and supplied to meet relevant Australian Standards and workplace safety requirements.
We can assist with site measurements, crane selection, hoist selection, design, supply, installation and commissioning.
