EMH AL-System Workstation Cranes are flexible and easily installed for a wide variety of workstation applications with lower capacity requirements up to 2,200lb. Smaller EMH AL-1 System crane rail profiles accommodate AL System Workstation Cranes handling light loads up to 500lb. Lightweight aluminium track profiles, exclusive EMH T-Slot design, anodised enclosed rails and anti-kick-up nylon wheels combine to provide maintenancefree solutions for the full line of AL-System Workstation Cranes.
AL-System Cranes’ safely and efficiently accommodate a wide variety of lifters and handling devices. With lightweight aluminium track profiles, AL System Cranes are easily configured to suit almost any application need. Anodised aluminium extrusions and enclosed rails maximise strength, provide longer durability and add to aesthetics. In addition, EMH recently introduced its aluminium V-Track Rail, providing increased capacity and longer spans on all AL-System Workstation Cranes. For 1,000lb installations, the maximum span length increases to 31ft. The maximum span length for 2,200lb installations (with a 4×4 V-Track) increases to 24ft, 2in.
Articulated anti-kick-up wheels offer additional advantages. AL System Cranes are articulating, meaning that they are free moving and do not require movement at right angles. In addition, the AL-System Crane’s anti-kick-up nylon wheels deliver smooth and safe movement of the trolley inside the enclosed rail.
One of the most important advantages over other lightweight aluminium rail systems is an exclusive EMH T-Slot design for splicing two pieces of rail together. With EMH T-Slot design, installation with a wide variety of integrating equipment, such as lifters and end-effectors, chain hoists or smart lifters, is easier. EMH T-Slot splice design also eliminates bumps when a load is moved over track splices.
The AL-System Workstation family also includes AL-System Lamp Post Crane and Jib Crane configurations. AL System Lamp Post Cranes require only four upright columns per runway cell, with the crane runway clamped onto the top of the frame at the corners using standard AL clamps. The bridge and lifting devices are then hung from the runway, which enables convenient and open access at either end. Maximum overall height is 15ft. AL Systems Aluminum Rail Jib Cranes (250lb and 500lb) are lightweight with spans up to 15ft. ALSystem Jib Cranes are ideal for numerous applications, including underneath bridge cranes, in areas serving multiple workstations, for outdoor loading docks, or in machining and assembly areas where several Jib Cranes might overlap, providing even more extensive coverage.
EG Wire Rope Hoists
In addition to the AL-System Workstation Crane family, EMH will be featuring its new EG Series Hoist, providing enhanced features and benefits. With the new EG Series Hoist, trolley adjustment is easier than ever with integrated and robust staging that stays tightly together during adjustment. The EG Series Hoist is designed to have a more spacious enclosure to accommodate much larger control panels and variable frequency drives. It will have capacities of 3t, 5t, 7.5t and 10t, and 20, 33, 50 and 65ft lifts. EG Series Hoists are currently available in monorail and double-girder models, providing a price and performance ratio that compares favourably with the best in the industry today.
New EG Series Hoists make it easier to adjust trolleys to a variety of flange widths and beam types. A longer adjustment tube maintains better hoist integrity and tighter staging during adjustment, and during opening and closing. A new and more reliable hexagonal drive shaft enhances adjustment and reduces the number of parts involved. An improved limit switch (upper/ lower) provides better repeatability during raising and lowering and a weight-operated limit is provided as standard.
The new EG Series Hoist incorporates new and better safety features. A new smooth acting rope guide tracks on a bar independent of the hoist frame to eliminate possible damage. New EG Series Hoists also offer manufacturing advantages and efficiencies. Instead of having various lengths of dead end supports, there is now just one size that fits all three lift ranges, 20, 33 and 50ft. The EG Series also offers a variety of specialised hoist options including variable frequency hoisting.
