Workstation Cranes and Monorails
What are Workstation Bridge Cranes and Monorails?
Bridge cranes cover rectangular work areas, while monoraiI systems can be used to move loads along a linear path, cover various work area shapes, or to link work areas together. Workstation bridge cranes and monoraiIs can be used individually or can be readily adapted for more sophisticated applications by the addition of extra monorail tracks, curves, and transfers that can be easily configured into a total system.
Why Gorbel’s Workstation Cranes?
Gorbel® Work Station Cranes are a proven way to improve productivity, increase quality, and provide a safer work environment. Both the aluminum and steel Gorbel Workstation Crane Systems utilize enclosed track that is high in strength and low in weight.
With the ability to span up to 30 ft. and lift capacities between 150 and 4000 lbs., our line of ergonomic crane products guarantees increased productivity. Depending on your needs, Gorbel has the workstation cranes that are sure to handle any project.

Free Standing Bridge Cranes
Free Standing floor supported systems do not put stress on the building’s overhead structure. Installation is usually more straight forward, and these cranes are also easier to relocate in the future. Free Standing systems require a reinforced concrete floor of at least 6 inches.
- Capacities from 150 to 4000 lbs
- Rectangular Coverage with up to 34’ bridge and 124’ runway standard
- Standard support distances of 20, 25, and 30 feet.
- Easy to move and position loads
- Modular design for greater flexibility
- Doesn’t require existing support structure
Features & Benefits
- Enclosed track / easy movement and long life
- Rigid runways / superior load positioning – no movement or “crab walking” of the bridge
- Ease of Installation / install on any standard 6″ concrete floor
- Smooth rolling surface / Easier movement of bridge and trolleys
- Multiple track profiles and spanning capabilities/Adaptable, flexible, and cost competitive
