Workstation crane systems serve a defined travel area or production route. Compare the layout, support points and available headroom before specifying the lifting unit.
Define the configuration
Selection item | What to provide |
|---|---|
Travel area | Pickup/delivery points, track direction and required bridge or trolley travel. |
Support | Building-supported or free-standing arrangement with its structural interfaces. |
Headroom | Space occupied by structure, trolley, hoist, tool and load. |
Workflow | Operator positions, neighbouring workstations and obstructions. |
Check the installation boundary
The rail system, support structure, hoist and end tool are distinct parts of the proposal. Confirm the installed assembly rather than selecting the rail by rated load alone.
Move from a layout to equipment
Prepare a workstation drawing and the required load/movement information. Review the actual model specifications and identify included hoist, controls and attachments before requesting the final installation and quotation scope.

Further questions for your purchasing review
What affects the cost of a workstation crane system?
Capacity, span, height, slewing or travel, lifting equipment, structural work and installation affect the total cost.
Draw the usable workstation rail working area
A rail system can cover a production area, but coverage is not the same as unrestricted access. Include supports, travel limits and the parked lifting tool on the layout.
Layout item | What to mark |
|---|---|
Coverage | Every pickup and placement coordinate and required travel path. |
Support | Building-supported or freestanding arrangement and available structural information. |
Headroom | Hook height after runway, bridge, trolley and lifting equipment are included. |
Expansion | Any future station or load requirement that the structural proposal must address. |

ET-CR-RAIL — Lightweight Workstation Crane System
Configure this structure for the proposed workstation layout, complete load and supporting conditions. Specify the required capacity, span or reach, height and mounting arrangement together with the lifting device and end tool.
Close the quotation interfaces
Responsibility | Agree in the proposal |
|---|---|
Structural design | Selected arrangement, loads/reactions and support/foundation requirements. |
Lifting equipment | Device, trolley/connection, tool and full suspended mass. |
Utilities | Electrical/air arrangement and moving supply path. |
Site work | Installation, access, commissioning and required records. |
Check all pickup and placement positions with the proposed arrangement before acceptance. Do not use another crane’s foundation, anchor dimensions or load chart for this installation.
