It’s LodeRail
A manually operated floor supported work area crane available with manual, electric, or air powered hoisting unit configured for your work area.
Earthquake Resistant
LodeRail meets all the stringent requirements of the Uniform Building Code, Seismic Zone 4 which covers the most severe earthquake prone areas in the United States. Your LodeRail is designed to take whatever your application requires or nature imposes.
Entirely Self-Supporting
While others provide similar products, the LodeRail is the only true self-supporting crane system of its kind in the market today. You don’t need any X-bracing, building tiebacks or kickers for any configuration.
Ergonomically Justified
OSHA will soon introduce a new set of National Ergonomic Standards.
Reduce injuries while increasing productivity with less effort. You can manually move your load on LodeRail with a 100:1 productivity ratiojn, e.g., an operator can start a 500-pound load moving with 5 pounds of force. Over 100 billion dollars is paid annually by USA employers in direct and indirect worker’s compensation claims.
Lower costs for workers’ compensation and higher productivity translates into increased profits.
LodeRail: Economical, Efficient
Increased Floor Space
Complete hook coverage under the crane reduces the need for vehicle traffic, increasing valuable floor space for production.
Lower labor costs
One person with a crane can precisely position and assemble parts more efficiently and safely than three men using a forklift.
