For column-free handling of loads up to 16 tonnes
Our EPDE suspension cranes leave your entire workshop area available for production. The cranes are simply attached to the existing roof structure – columns to support the crane runway are not needed. This design saves time and costs. Alternatively, the installation of stand-alone steel superstructures also enables the solution to be adapted to changed production requirements.
Further outstanding benefits of EPDE units:
- rigid I-beam girders for optimum load distribution
- specific sections of the workshop can be served
- loads can be handled immediately adjacent to the building wall by means of girder ends tailored to your application requirements
- lateral overhangs to extend the cross-travel path beyond the runway span
- supplied with DR rope hoist or DC chain hoist (up to 5 tonnes)

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 and awkward loads
- comprehensive range of load handling attachments satisfies the most varied requirements.
