A pre-engineered, enclosed track, workstation crane, the SPANMASTER has a capacity range from 250 to 4,400 lb. and is available in both freestanding and ceiling-mounted designs. SPANMASTER combines an ergonomic enclosed track bridge with a non-proprietary wide-flange or other runway systems and a unique range of motion features. When compared to the competitors’ systems, SPANMASTER offers longer standard bridge lengths and runway support centers. Standard bridge lengths can be up to 38’-6” and standard runway support centers are cataloged up to 40’ (longer support centers are available depending on the system requirements).
SPANMASTER’S patented oscillating, articulating, and pivoting end truck design provides freedom of movement not possible with the competitors’ rigid end trucks. This unique range of motion allows SPANMASTER bridges to move freely along the length of the runway, no matter the position of the load on the bridge.
Unique SPANMASTER features include:
Range Of Motion Advantages: SPANMASTER uses a fixed runway beam with an oscillating, articulating, and pivoting bridge made possible with patented SPANMASTER end trucks. These end trucks feature a unique ball pivot and U-hanger lower pivot which significantly reduces operator effort to move the load (as low as 100 to 1).
Industry Leading End Approach: SPANMASTER articulating end trucks, unlike rigid end trucks, do not require a longer wheelbase with longer span cranes to resist binding. The largest end truck (4,400 lb. capacity) has an overall length of just 9.35 in. which allows for best in class performance and end approach.
Articulating End Trucks SPANMASTER end trucks are available in several different models to fit the desired capacity and beam flange width. Designed to run on non-proprietary wide flange beams, the end trucks are adjustable to accommodate various sized runway flange widths. They feature steel or resin wheels with steel side guide rollers for longevity and ease of use.
