Product Description
Alu-Track® Workstation Bridge Cranes & Runways
Overview
- Applications: workstation bridge cranes and monorail cranes
- Material: extruded high-strength 6061-T6 aluminum alloy
- Capacities: from 250 to 3,000 lbs.
- Bridge Span Lengths: up to 30 feet, dependent on desired capacity
Spanco Alu-Track® Workstation Bridge Cranes and Runways are made with our aluminum enclosed track for performance that’s lightweight, durable, maintenance-free, and non-corroding.
Alu-Track aluminum enclosed tracks reduce the overall system weight, so you can more easily move the bridge. Plus, for Ceiling-Mounted Workstation Bridge Cranes, Alu-Track systems mean less weight on your building support structure.
Suitable for:
- Moisture-laden environments
- Acidic environments (but not for base/alkaline)
- R&D labs
- Wherever lightweight, durable enclosed track is required
ALU-TRACK FEATURES
- The entire length of the top side of the track accepts hangers. The aluminum tracks are easily and precisely aligned.
- The internally tapered track self-centers trolleys and end trucks, so rolling movement is smooth, quiet, and highly ergonomic.
We made three models of Alu-Track enclosed track; for track profiles, see product photos.
- 306 Alu-Track: six-inch overall height, with same internal dimensions as the Spanco 600 Series enclosed steel track.
- 308 Alu-Track: eight-inch overall height, with same internal dimensions as the Spanco 700 Series enclosed steel track.
- Reinforced 308 Alu-Track: 12-1/2-inch overall height, same internal dimensions as the Spanco 700 Series enclosed steel track, and an extruded, reinforcing strong-back for heavier loads over longer spans.
Options and Components
- Mixed Capacity Systems: Leverage system capability by specifying heavier capacity runways with multiple smaller capacity bridges. For example, a 2,000-pound capacity runway can run two 1,000-pound bridges or four 500-pound bridges.
- Bridge Buffers: The buffers roll in the runway tracks between two bridges, which prevent the bridges from overloading the runway’s capacity.
- Intermediate Bumpers: Through-bolted end stops installed at runway support centers prevent more than one bridge crane from operating within a set of support centers.
- Hanger Assemblies:
- Ceiling-Mounted Systems: Many hanger options including flush-mount, drop rod, and wood joist connections mounted with hanger rods. Includes clamps.
- Freestanding Systems: Flush-mount hangers; allow lateral and longitudinal adjustments.
