Max headroom
Pelloby installed an underslung overhead crane system at Anglian Home Improvements because for lifting applications where headroom is limited underslung cranes maximise available space.
Stillages used to handle glass which need to be transferred to a mezzanine floor. As these stillages are stacked up to three high there is little headroom for an overhead crane.
The cranes’ gantry rails, located at either end of its 12000mm girder span, were attached directly to the existing roof structure, so they instead ran below these supports to better utilise the space available.
The result was that the crane’s single girder beam was able to move along the rail freely, allowing operators to quickly and easily move goods of up to 1.5 tonne safe working loads between the ground level and mezzanine floor via a radio controlled handset.
“We’ve worked with Pelloby in the past on multiple crane installations and so we knew that they had the design capabilities to meet our needs on this job. From sending a representative to site to take measurements to installation and final commissioning, Pelloby kept our requirements in mind throughout the project.” – Anglian Home Improvement Production Engineer, Mike Jobling.
