Overview

Up for sale is a complete, high-spec Gorbel 1-Ton Freestanding Workstation Overhead Bridge Crane System featuring a 16.5-foot bridge span and 47.5 feet of continuous runway coverage. This system includes a heavy-duty 1-Ton CM Lodestar Electric Chain Hoist paired with a Gorbel Motorized Tractor Drive System on the trolley/bridge travel assembly.

While Gorbel enclosed track cranes are renowned for low manual push-pull resistance, adding motorized tractor drives turns this into a fully powered, ergonomic lifting cell. Powered travel eliminates physical pulling along the 47.5' runway, ensuring precise load placement and preventing operator strain when handling full 2,000 lb capacities or long, unwieldy parts.

The freestanding structural steel framework mounts directly to standard 6" reinforced factory floors without requiring roof-truss re-engineering or structural building attachments. With nearly 784 square feet of fully motorized overhead coverage, this system offers a turnkey solution for high-duty production environments.
