Metal workshops fitted out with overhead cranes
Verlinde overhead cranes working in Belgium Metal workshops have contributed significantly to the manufacturer’s efficiency.
Belgium Metal recently moved to new premises has to handle very heavy loads in the workshop, often with complex shapes.
Belgium Metal’s founder, Jean Luc Boulanger, says: “Handling in our workshops relies to a great extent on the use of Verlinde overhead cranes offering a varied range of hoisting capacities. From Verlinde’s Europont overhead crane range, we operate five single beam cranes of 5 metric tons and two of 10 metric tons. They are fitted with electric powered hoists from the EUROBLOC VT range whose horizontal travel movements are controlled by inverters that offer the advantage of flexibility of travel together with very limited load swinging. Likewise, to facilitate use, rapidity and safety for the personnel, all cranes are remote controlled.”
To facilitate further development, the company is planning to have two new 20-metric ton Verlinde overhead cranes installed.
