Automotive Industry Cranes

Custom Automotive Industry Cranes for Manufacturing & Assembly

Manufacturers use cranes for automotive production and assembly. Our staff at Ace World Companies works with automotive manufacturers, suppliers, and assembly plants  to find material-handling solutions that improve productivity, increase safety, and optimize manufacturing processes in the automotive industry. 

Customized Cranes for the Automotive Industry

Cranes play an important role in automotive manufacturing. They move heavy raw materials and components and position components for assembly. In doing so, they improve operational efficiency and accuracy. Manufacturers typically use the following types of cranes for automotive manufacturing. Our automotive industry cranes include overhead, gantry, and hoist systems designed to move heavy materials like engines, frames, and body panels with precision. With customized controls, automation, and attachments, these cranes ensure accuracy at every stage of automotive manufacturing.

Overhead Cranes

Overhead bridge cranes can move massive loads across rails mounted overhead. Customized hoist attachments allow operators to grasp, lift, move, and position various automotive components. Variable speed drives allow for smooth movement along multiple axes. 

Assembly lines and manufacturing facilities frequently use overhead automotive cranes to move engines, body panels, and frames across production areas. We can create single-girder overhead cranes with load capacities of up to 25 tons. If you have larger load requirements or must span very large distances, our double girder cranes can handle loads up to 500 tons and span 200 feet or more. 

Gantry Cranes

Automotive manufacturers use gantry cranes to move heavy or large materials. Mounted into a reinforced concrete foundation, our gantry cranes allow unrestricted movement around their bases. They offer flexible material handling in outdoor areas or inside facilities where multiple processes occupy the same area. 

We offer double-leg gantry and semi-leg gantry cranes for increased for increased operational and spatial flexibility. We can use features such as operator cabs, dog houses, and rotating hoists to customize our double-leg gantry cranes to your specifications.  

Hoists and Attachments

Hoists perform vertical lifting and lowering of automotive components. They are ideal for raising and lowering engines, transmissions, and other heavy systems at specific workstations. We have two standard models of electric hoists that meet a wide range of automotive production needs, or we can produce custom wire hoists to meet a wider range of capabilities. 

Controls and Drives

You can achieve precise and smooth material handling with specialized controls, variable-speed equipment drives, and automation systems. Because we produce control systems at our Wisconsin panel plant, we can accommodate special customization requests.
