• Available in braced designs or completely free standing
   
• Heights under bridge from 10 - 20 ft.
   
• Runway support centers from 20 - 60 ft. increments.

Special requirements? We can custom engineer a system to meet your application.

Ceiling Mounted Tarca Systems are built using our unique patented Tarca Track. Its special raised tread and high carbon track is superior to I-Beams in strength, durability and consistency. Capacities are available from 2 to 5 ton with spans to 60 ft.

• Runway support centers from 20 - 60 ft. increments.
   
• We can work with your building manufacturer to design a cost effective system that hangs from stubs they provide, or dual hanger rods.
   
• Get us involved up front to work out all the details such as attachment to building, bracing, wheel loads, and hook height requirements.

Why is Tarca patented track superior?

Features:

• High carbon flange means longer track life—we have seen systems from the early 1900’s still in use!

• Raised tread provides durability and superior safety—these rails are designed for cranes which is not the case for I beam and wide flange cranes-you will not experience early rail wear and peening.

• 100% weld penetration ensures quality.
 
• Straight rails make installation a whiz. Just ask any installer who has done a lot of under running systems which they prefer? An I beam system or patented track system? We guarantee they will choose the patented track system!
 
• These beams are held to machine tolerances, unlike very relatively loose mill tolerances on I beam or wide flange systems. Components are built and assembled with jigs and fixtures which ensure consistency not possible with steel from the mill and thus an easy long lasting installation.

• Efficient design for spanning—the bridge and runway beams are designed for your exact span/length. Saves on weight and thus on your building design.

• Standardized lower flange provides compatibility. Tarca track features the same 3-1/4” wide lower flange regardless of rail height or load carrying capacity. The lower flange of an I-beam increases in width and thickness as its depth increases. Beams of different sizes are therefore not compatible. The result? I-beam crane systems are costly and difficult to expand.

• Rugged long lasting components—systems going on 95+ years old!

• Flexible suspensions provide longer system performance and lower maintenance costs. We can design a system that will articulate on one side thus lowering the stress on your runway, crane and building.

Let Ergonomic Partners help you choose the right crane system for your application. Our specialty is working with you and your builder/architect to satisfy your overhead material handling needs.

Heavy Capacity Top and Under Running Bridge Cranes

Ergonomic Partners handles overhead bridge cranes from 250 pounds to 100 tons, and up to 150 foot span. We specialize in providing the right equipment for the customers needs. Our many years of experience in helping customers choose the right overhead bridge crane is proven by the hundreds of cranes sold over the past years.

Ergonomic Partners can help with your overhead bridge crane project early in the project by developing a specification for the right type of crane, and working with the building architects to assure it will fit in your building and provide the proper operation. Too many times a bridge crane is an afterthought and vital items such as hook height, and floor coverage are sacrificed due to poor planning.

In addition we can help with a retrofit into your existing building to come up with a system that will work with your existing structure.

We can provide top running bridge cranes as follows:

• Single Girder-Up to 20 ton capacity

• Up to 120 foot span

• Double Girder-Up to 100 ton capacity

• Up to 150 foot span

Typically Top Running overhead bridge cranes are used in applications that are more demanding, especially double girder top running bridge cranes. We can provide overhead bridge cranes to go into clean rooms, explosive environments, molten metal handling and other demanding environments.

Whether you need manual, electric or air power we can provide a solution.

In addition to the bridge crane, we can provide the runway structure to work in conjunction with a new building or an existing building.

• Completely Freestanding (very good for existing structures or light metal buildings) for top or under running design

• Freestanding but tied back to the building structure-(in buildings with some substance-new or existing buildings) for top or under running design.

• Suspended from your building (typically new buildings)-under running design

• Set on haunches (typically new building construction)-top running

All runways are designed per CMAA, ANSI and AISC specifications and are designed by a professional engineer. These runways can be stamped by a professional engineer.
