Crane made of stainless steel

In industrial sectors like the food industry, pharmaceutical industry, aerospace engineering, semiconductor industry etc., operating resources are subject to particularly high requirements and strains. We develop and produce stainless steel cranes particularly for these sectors. Due to the unconditional use of corrosion-resistant materials our stainless steel cranes boast the following benefits:

High availability without costly downtimes, even in intense multi-shift operation
Low degree of wear, which reduces the need for spare parts significantly
High production safety as there is no corrosion impairing the product or the clean room category
High acceptance among our customers’ clients

Depending on the kind of application, we use different materials. Let us know your needs and we take care of production, assembly, commissioning and maintenance of your crane.
