Benefits of Gorbel Workstation
Cranes
 |
|
Not only do workstation
bridge cranes solve handling problems, they also
provide users with several benefits:
- Increased
productivity
Gorbel Work Station Cranes help your
workers work more productively than traditional
I-beam cranes. A study conducted by the Human
Factors Laboratory at Rochester Institute of
Technology* for Gorbel shows that work station
cranes increase productivity up to 28 percent
compared with I-beam cranes. The productivity
increase is possible because bridge cranes require
less effort to move than I-Beam cranes. In most
applications, particularly high cycle time
applications, customers are able to cost justify the
crane system with the productivity increases alone.
Ease of movement
and positioning
Gorbel Work Station Bridge Cranes can move a load
three times more easily than a
traditional I-beam crane. This ease of movement and
positioning results from Gorbel's unique enclosed
track design, high strength-to- weight ratio, and
rigid runways with anti-binding end trucks.
Increased Quality
Enclosed track cranes can increase the quality of
goods while reducing the cost of damaged or rejected
parts. Loads are so easy to move and position with
workstation cranes, much of the damage that is done
to the product during the manufacturing process is
eliminated.
Improved work force utilization
Gorbel Work Station Cranes can help you reach the
typical ergonomic goal in material handling:
Allowing a task to be performed by 90 percent of
your workers. For instance, the Rochester Institute
of Technology study commissioned by Gorbel shows
that less than 10 percent of men can safely handle a
4,000-lb. load on a manual I- beam crane, but
more than 99 percent can do so on a Gorbel Work
Station Crane.
- Modular
Design
Gorbel's pre-engineered modular kit design permits
easy expansion or relocation. The runway length can
be increased by adding runway sections, free
standing support assemblies and additional bridges
as needed.
- Better
work force utiliation
Since
physical strength becomes less of an issue with
Gorbel Work Station Cranes, you can better utilize
your work force. This is especially true considering
that today's work force is aging, and it is becoming
increasingly female
