Cranes and Gantries
Optimised positioning of the supporting gantry or crane can be a crucial factor in the successful implementation of a new, suspended load handling system. Transportation of the load must be ergonomically managed to prevent unnecessary strains or physical stress on the operator. Palamatic designs the lifting aid to the task and the crane system to the process environment, with the occupational health of the operator always at the forefront of considerations.
Ergonomically, the lifting aid is only as good as the gantry from which it is suspended. Palamatic supply a complete range of overhead support systems individually rated for use with Pal-U-Lift™ vacuum lifting units. Palamatic gantries are available in a hygienic stainless steel manufacture. This design minimises internal cavities and flat surfaces to prevent product build-up and facilitate clean down.

- Swing jib cranes
-
The most popular standard swing jib type can be supported by a floor support pillar or from a stanchion or wall mounted bracket.
- Swing jib cranes – low headroom
-
Alternative versions of the swing jib include the inverted design, made specifically for working areas with restricted overhead clearance.
- Articulated arm jib cranes
-
The knuckle or articulated type is designed jib for use where the movement of standard slewing jibs is restricted by plant layouts.
- Overhead gantry cranes
-
The ‘H’ gantry design is ideal for coverage of large working areas with single or multiple Pal-U-Lift™ units. Overhead gantry cranes can be adapted to the size and shape of almost any factory premises or workshop.
