Our Product Offerings
As an official member of the Crane Manufacturers Association of America (CMAA), we take pride in manufacturing safe, sturdy and reliable OEM cranes to help you run seamless operations. Our major cranes and hoists for manufacturing facilities include:
Overhead Workstation Cranes
Spanco manufactures and stocks thousands of overhead workstation cranes for manufacturing facilities. Our pre-engineered overhead cranes can be customized to meet your specific application.
Workstation Benefits for Manufacturing
Our world-class overhead manufacturing cranes help manufacturers achieve the following:
- Seamless material lifting: With our workstation bridge cranes, you can effortlessly move loads of up to 4000 pounds along the bridge in any direction in the rectangles formed by the two runways.
- Swift compatibility with other cranes: If you’re moving larger loads, you can use one of our overhead cranes instead of multiple jib cranes or forklifts for a swifter operation. You can also use it to complement existing solutions for a more efficient operation.
- Higher ROI: The workstation cranes enhance the productivity of your manufacturing processes, increasing your output and, therefore, your profits.
Our workstation cranes are most commonly used for heavy lifting in manufacturing facilities, assembly lines, warehouses, distribution centers and automotive plants.
Jib Cranes
Our jib cranes feature a floor or wall-mounted mast with a jib that supports a movable hoist. You can move the jib 180 to 360 degrees or install it in a fixed position to complete repetitive load transfer or lifting tasks. We have thousands of customizable jib cranes for material handling designed to meet and supersede your specific needs.
Benefits of Jib Cranes for Manufacturing
Jib cranes offer benefits to manufacturers, including:
- Improved worker productivity: Your workers will become more productive with fast material movement in the warehouse.
- Improved safety: Conduct safer material handling with our efficient cranes for manufacturing operations.
- Fewer maintenance demands: Our talented team of engineers ensures the jib cranes are perfectly installed and are in great working condition to serve you for a long time without needing maintenance.
Our jib cranes are mostly useful for repetitive lifting in confined workspaces in manufacturing environments. They’re also used for moving materials to nearby workstations in indoor and outdoor locations.
Gantry Cranes
Spanco offers only the best gantry crane models, including portable, adjustable, relocatable and truck-mounted gantries. Our gantry crane collection is essential for moving heavy materials and can be moved with manual or mechanical power while under load. You can choose custom gantry cranes for operations below existing overhead bridge cranes in manufacturing facilities, shipyards, railyards and steel mills, among other related industries.
Gantry Crane Benefits for Manufacturing
Gantry cranes offer remarkable benefits to the manufacturing process, including:
- Improved worker productivity: Our cranes lift all your heavy loads seamlessly, eliminating manual lifting.
- Seamless workflow: Gantry cranes are easily relocatable, so you can move them to a different area when your demands change.
- Simple operations: Gantry cranes don’t require additional support structures thanks to their flexible modular designs. You can use them without installing permanent runway beams or support columns on your facility.
The most practical applications for our gantry cranes are outdoor or indoor heavy lifting in manufacturing and assembly stations in any industry that deals with heavy machinery lifting.
Electric Hoists
The new Workmate™ electric hoists are a fast, efficient and safer solution for raising and lowering objects when using any of our manufacturing industry cranes. They can operate at lift heights between 10 and 20 feet, making them an efficient powered hoist for various applications.
Manufacturer Benefits of Electric Hoists
Their key benefits in the manufacturing industry include the following:
- Convenience: The Workmate™ electric hoist enables you to group together and operate cranes and hoists in a single, convenient unit for quick operations.
- Reliable operation: The hoist’s innovative design and solid construction enable you to construct a safer and more productive work environment.
- Simple handling and usage: Our Workmate™ electric hoist is lightweight and compact for easy installation, transportation and maneuverability.
