Light crane system ProfileMaster at the boathouse

The project was designed and realised by some of the brigade’s comrades and the materials handling and plant engineering company Ingenia Krantechnik GmbH from St Florian.

A flexible sliding shelf-system allows storage of up to 10 “Holzzillen”, small wooden boats, and one working boat which is used to transport people and equipment in high water situations along the Danube. This working boat also evacuates animals from cut off farms.

With the sliding shelves on both sides of the boathouse in a “drawer-system” and with the help of the light-crane system ProfileMaster, it is possible to get the “Zillen” out in an emergency fast. The lower boats are stored on independent trolleys.

The light-crane system with a span-width of 5.3m can be used in any position in the room along the 7m long crane runway. An electric chain hoist SKB by SWF Krantechnik with an ultimate load of 500kg does the hoisting work.

The SWF electric chain hoist can be moved in a two-step hoisting speed of 8m per min and 2m per min. The hoist comes with an emergency stop button on the control switch as standard.

The user can handle loads from 125 to 2,000kg. The hoists are available either as push-trolley or electric trolley. It is also possible to use electric trolleys for the main girders of the single- or double-girder version for crane travel.
