Ergonomic overhead cranes

Looking for a simple, effective solution to move light loads without effort?

Custom ergonomic overhead cranes make it easy to move loads of up to 2,000 kg (4,400 lb), effortlessly and without motorization. Built with Gorbel and Niko Track rails, two well-known names in light-duty material handling, these systems significantly reduce resistance to movement thanks to their profiled track.

They're available in freestanding versions, ideal when the building structure can't support a suspended load, or suspended versions, ideal when an existing steel structure or mezzanine can carry the system. Our turnkey support includes configuration, installation, and, when needed, engineering and ceiling reinforcement through our sister company Structures Industrielles Premium, for a simple, hassle-free project.

You're not sure whether to choose a conventional overhead crane or an ergonomic overhead crane?

The ergonomic overhead crane will allow you to achieve significant savings if you need to move light parts weighing less than 2,000 kg at low height and over a limited span. If you need to cover a larger area, move a load along two motorized axes, or reach a greater lifting height, the conventional overhead crane may be better suited. The jib crane, for its part, remains the most economical option for movements limited to a restricted work area.

Check out our comparison guide to choose the right lifting equipment based on your load, available height, span, and application.

At the start of our operations in 2014, the Groupe industriel Premium team was able to advise us well regarding the selection of our overhead crane and hoist. After 5 years of operation, we are proud to have chosen their services. The quality of our Gorbel ergonomic overhead crane allows us to successfully carry out our operations.
