With the low-head crane, the traveling rail (I-beam) is fixed
to ceiling rafters of the building. The crane is then suspended
from the rail. Because location and span can be freely chosen,
the crane can be designed to suit production line processes.
Both the track wheel and track wheel axle are designed for
easy detaching, thus reducing time installing and maintaining
the crane.
A dual speed type crane is available when speed-controlled
work is necessary. There is also an urethane wheel type of
crane that effectively reduces noise and vibrations in travel.
It is recommended for factories near residential areas, duplex
office-homes, and nighttime work.
Single speed crane
This crane employs the geared motors specially designed by
Kito to ensure smooth starts and stops. It is suited for general
work.
Dual
speed crane
This crane is capable of pendant button-controlled speed shift
between low and high speed (reduction ratio of 4:1). It is
suited for work requiring varied speed operation.
Manual
geared type
This manual geared type of crane balances travel smoothly
by synchronizing driving wheel on both sides. With a relatively
shorter travel distance, it is suited for low frequency work.
Manual
plain type (Low-head only)
This is the simplest manual type of crane: lifting and traveling
are operated by hand. It is suited for light work.
SOFTRUN
device as option
This device electrically controls motor speed for smooth acceleration
of the crane traveling for minimizing load swing at start-up.
It is highly suited for handling high inertia loads or operating
long span cranes.
