Baker Cranes has completed the delivery and installation of an overhead crane system in Christchurch, New Zealand.
The system, consisting of two 10-ton cranes each with a span of 37.7m, is now operational.
It facilitates the lifting of truck chassis using a custom-designed spreader beam, engineered and fabricated by Baker Cranes’ team.
The ABUS crane control system enables precise and synchronised lifting of long loads, enhancing safety and workflow for the client’s operations.
According to Baker Cranes, overhead cranes are an essential tool for many businesses, particularly those in the manufacturing, construction, and transportation industries.
The company highlighted that overhead cranes are versatile and powerful, capable of lifting and moving heavy objects, thereby saving time and reducing labour costs. They are designed to operate safely and efficiently, minimising the risk of workplace accidents and injuries. Safety features such as limit switches, overload protection, and emergency stop buttons ensure worker safety during operation.
Baker Cranes produces a comprehensive range of cranes, from light to heavy capacity, equipped with various hoists. The main types include single and double girder overhead travelling cranes, portal cranes, lightweight modular “HB” crane systems, jib cranes, and mobile gantry cranes.
ABUS overhead travelling cranes, which can lift loads up to 120 tons, are designed to transport them to any designated point within a building. The cranes are available in four versions, catering to different applications: single girder cranes, double girder cranes, underslung cranes, and single girder wall travelling cranes.
