What capacity, bridge length and height?

The general rule is "less is more"

• Keep capacities to a minimum. Gorbel Work Station Cranes are designed with an adequate safety factor. If you "over-buy capacity," the operator will need to move extra bridge dead weight, which would not be a good ergonomic solution.
• Keep bridge lengths to a minimum. The less dead weight an operator has to move, the better. Short bridge lengths are better for higher-cycle production areas. Longer bridges are acceptable for lower-production cycle or maintenance areas.
• Keep bridge heights (trolley saddle) to a minimum. Keeping the trolley saddle (TS) height less than 14 feet is desirable because it makes it easier to control and position the load.
