Features and Benefits

Improved Strength & Safety
End truck frames feature a steel channel box section weldment for a strong, rigid construction, while end truck plates serve as rail sweeps for bridge protection and anti-drop stops, as required by CMAA specifications.
Superior Wheel Bearing Design
Wheel bearings are lifetime-lubricated, precision ball bearings, providing a minimum of 5000 hours performance in accordance with CMAA specifications
Gear Reducers
A right-angle, shaft-mounted worm drive gear reducer can be mounted at either end of the bridge. The gear reducers can be mounted on either top-running or under-hung end trucks. Traverse reducer provides stopping motion of the bridge within a distance in feet equal to 10 percent of full load speed in feet per minute (traveling at maximum speed with maximum rated load).
Motor
Drive motor is a 1/2 or a 3/4 horsepower squirrel cage motor that is NEMA design 30-minute rated TENV with Class “F” insulation. The motor is provided with thermal overload protection as standard, with C-face mounted to the gear reducer.
Controls
The control panels include mainline contactor, 115-volt control circuit transformer with fused secondary terminal strip, bridge fusing, and reversing contactor in a NEMA 1 enclosure. For added safety, end trucks feature a fused disconnect switch box with positive power disconnect and crane fusing.

Voltages available in single and two speed are 208-230-460-575 volt-3ph-60Hz. Voltages available in single speed only are 115-230 volt-1ph-60Hz. Contact us for any other special speeds or voltages.

Are cross shafts needed?

For hand-geared and single-drive, motor-driven cranes, cross shafts are required. We offer 1” diameter cross shafts made from AISI 1018 cold drawn steel. Our cross shafts feature couplings to connect the cross shaft to the pinion shaft at each end truck, as well as couple sections of cross shaft.
