MATERIAL HANDLING FOR THE
GRANITE INDUSTRY
OVERHEAD LIFTING FOR GRANITE, MARBLE AND STONE
Commercial granite and marble showrooms have changed in recent years. Showrooms have become more interactive. Distributors are utilizing space and maximizing safety like
never before. How? Versatile overhead crane systems.
What are the options for overhead lifting?
• Gantry Crane – Overhead lifting from a floorbased structure on
wheels.
• Workstation Crane – Overhead lifting for up to 2 Tons in a fixed
area.
• Overhead Bridge Crane – Overhead lifting on a dedicated beam
built into the building’s support structure.
While some buildings allow a crane system to be built into the structural beams, others can’t bear any further weight. CraneWerks can supply freestanding or floor-mounted cranes. We’ll will work with you to determine the best system for your workspace.
3 reasons to switch from forklifts:
1. Forklifts require aisle space. When space is limited, every foot
counts. Maximize inventory with additional floor space.
2. Forklifts require a second operator to guide the material.
Overhead liftingsystems allow a single operator to pick up and
move.
3. Forklifts can damage raw materials. Eliminate the balancing
act.
STORAGE & LIFTING DEVICES
FOR GRANITE
Independent Structure
• Storage rack, designed to handle and store full size bundles of stone slabs.
• Slab storage racks can be bolted together for many different required
lengths.
• The base rails are constructed with a welded joint for superior strength.
LIFTING CLAMPS
• Auto-lock and unlock, grip and release stone slabs automatically
• The slab is easily engaged via the jaws of the lifter
• The heavier the load the tighter the grip
• Lift packed slabs out of racks and shipping containers easier
VACUUM LIFTING ATTACHMENT
• Below the hook device, designed for easier lifting.
• Lift/tilt with a self-contained generator (or plant air)
• Movable vacuum cups
