Overhead handling – for loads weighing up to 16 tonnes
Our EKDE suspension cranes are mainly characterized by high torsional rigidity thanks to their welded box-section design. The cranes run on tracks that are simply attached to the existing roof structure – columns to support the crane runway are not needed. This design saves time and money. And it saves space, leaving your entire workshop area available for production. Further benefits?
- Computer-optimized box-section profile used for the crane girder for optimum load distribution
- Specific sections of the workshop can be served
- Lateral overhangs to extend the cross-travel path beyond the runway span
- Loads can be handled immediately adjacent to the building wall by means of girder ends tailored to your application requirements
- Engineering tolerances for minimum wear
Product information
The benefits at a glance
High stability and design rigidity
- Crane girder made of torsionally rigid, enclosed box-section profile with reinforced connection (welded diaphragm plates)
- Engineering tolerances in the crane girder connection area
- Optimum travel characteristics with minimum wear of crane runway and travel wheels
- Travel wheels of highly wear-resistant GGG 70 spheroidal-graphite cast iron with self-lubricating properties
- Optimum anti-corrosion protection of all parts thanks to pre-treatment of steel components to industry standard
Efficient handling
- Crab of low-headroom design with DR rope hoist offering particularly favorable hook approach dimensions to serve the largest possible area
- Power supply to the crab by means of highly flexible flat cable with protective earth conductor
- Control pendant suspended for separate travel on the crane girder with display for installation monitoring
Individual configuration
- Optimum adaptation of the crane girder to the building design thanks to computer-optimized box-section profile
- Latching devices available for transfer of trolleys from the crane girder to a monorail track
- Optional radio control with display and proportional pushbuttons

Equipment options
With our wide range of equipment options, we match our universal cranes to the individual requirements of your application:
- automatic height adjustment of the control pendant to facilitate load attachment
- control by pendant switch
- control via bi-directional radio control with proportional pushbuttons
- smooth starting helps to avoid load sway
- end carriages with horizontal guide rollers eliminate skewing and thus the lateral forces which otherwise act on the crane runway
- limit switches or slack rope relays protect the hoist and load from damage
- bypass control system prevents collisions with obstacles along the crab travel path
- anti-collision protection and crane distance controls ensure the safe operation of several cranes on one runway
- cranes fitted with two crabs make it easy to handle long loads
- comprehensive range of load handling attachments satisfies the most varied requirements.
