Danish engineering and machine manufacturing firm Venning Maskinfabrik has delivered a custom overhead crane designed for automated storage of paving stones and concrete blocks at a facility in Romania.
The new crane operates within a building that features highly limited space, requiring the equipment to function in an unusually long and narrow area.
The crane can travel at high speeds while providing precise braking and accurate stopping to meet the facility’s logistics needs.
It is fitted with timing belts running the full length of the crane on both sides. These belts support controlled deceleration and, together with motor-embedded encoders that deliver continuous position feedback, enable high positional accuracy.
This degree of control is necessary for safely handling newly cast concrete products within a tightly constrained space.
The company said: “The crane is used as part of an automated storage system for newly cast paving stones and concrete blocks, where exact positioning is essential for efficient handling and logistics.”
Venning Maskinfabrik, which managed the design and installation, noted that the project called for strict adherence to the customer’s dimensional demands.
The company supplies machinery solutions for various sectors and has previously completed projects in both national and international settings.
The Romanian customer commissioned the project as part of an automated logistics upgrade aimed at improving storage efficiency and product handling for construction materials.
Venning Maskinfabrik oversaw the work from design through to final installation.
