July 24, 2014 - New EMH AL System™ Cranes are flexible and easily installed workstation solutions for a wide variety of crane applications with lower capacity requirements up to 2,200 lbs. Light weight aluminum track profiles, exclusive EMH t-slot design, anodized enclosed rails, and anti-kick-up nylon wheels are all contributing benefits that provide maintenance-free workstation solutions.

AL-System Cranes safely and efficiently accommodate a wide variety of lifters and handling devices. With lightweight aluminum track profiles, AL System Cranes are also easily configured to suit almost any application need. Their anodized aluminum extrusions and enclosed rails maximize strength, provide longer durability and add to their aesthetics.

Articulated anti-kick up wheels offer additional advantages. AL System Cranes are articulating, meaning that they are free moving and do not require movement at right angles. This feature also provides smooth operation and a low starting force even when the load is at the end of the bridge. In addition, the AL-System Crane’s anti-kick up nylon wheels delivers smooth and safe movement of the trolley inside the enclosed rail.

One of the most important advantages over other lightweight aluminum rail systems is an exclusive EMH t-slot design for splicing two pieces of rail together. With the EMH t-slot design, installation with a wide variety of integrating equipment, such as lifters and end-effectors, chain hoists or smart lifters, is easier. The EMH t-slot splice design also eliminates bumps when a load is moved over track splices.
