LodeRail™ Workstations@CraneMart™

Introducing LodeRail.
A manually operated, floor supported work area crane available with manual, electric, or air powered hoisting unit configured for your work area.

Entirely Self-Supported.
While others provide similar products, the LodeRail is the only true self-supporting crane system of its kind in the market today. You don't need any X-bracing, building tie backs, or kickers for any configuration.

Ergonomically Justified.
OSHA will soon introduce a new set of National Ergonomical Standards. LodeRail lets you reduce injuries while increasing productivity...all with less effort. The lower costs for workers' compensation and higher productivity translate into increased profits for your company.

Increased Floor Space.
Complete hook coverage under the crane reduces the need for vehicle traffic, increasing valuable floor space for production.

Lower Labor Costs.
One person with a crane can precisely position and assemble parts more efficiently and safely than three men using a forklift.

A Complete System.
The LodeRail crane is a complete system. You get the runway structure, runway rails, festoon for the bridge and runway, trolleys, and even the bolts for the floor. Color is yellow for the bridges, runways, and frames. Also available, ceiling mounted systems and powered cranes for special applications.

Rigid Runways.
Unique rigid seismic designed runway connection provides a much superior track suspension system than a flexible type suspension, for accurately moving and positioning loads.

Free Moving End Trucks.
The bridge girder floats free in one end truck and the other is firmly clamped, allowing for any slight misalignment of the runway tracks. The trucks also have two horizontal wheels that center the truck within the track to prevent binding of the bridge.

Smooth Rolling Trolleys.
The hoist trolleys, with load bar, provide the means for suspending the hoist. Wheels are tapered to match the taper of the track, reducing rolling resistance. Wheel bearings are sealed and lubricated for life. Trolleys are designed to be operated in temperatures from +5° F to 200° F.

Enclosed Steel Track.
Our unique track is high in strength and low in weight. The inner rolling surface stays clean, providing lower reducing resistance and reduces the wear on the wheels of the trolleys and end trucks.
