Lightweight Workstation Bridge Cranes
NikoTrack supplies a wide range freestanding or ceiling mounted work station bridge cranes. The NikoTrack Lightweight Crane System provides economic and versatile solutions to conventional overhead crane workstations particularly when there is a height and space restriction.
The systems are suitable for loads from 11 lbs to 2,200 lbs and can be either manual or electric travel. All Niko components are produced to a very high standard of manufacturing and are suitably zinc plated for both indoor and outdoor applications.
- The systems are very robust and require little or no maintenance
- Wide range of track profiles for optimum designed load and bridge length
- Offer full and free running ergonomic crane access throughout the rectangular work area
- Manual or motorized bridge cranes
- Independent festoon pendant system
- The overhead precision track has tapered sides to ensure that the load carrying bridge crane self locating arm runs freely with minimum force required to move the loading bridge crane
- Designed flexibility within the system permits loads from a monorail conveyor track to be connected and transferred to a work station bridge crane using our Workstation Track Transfer Assembly

Overhead Workstation Cranes are Available Ceiling Mounted or Freestanding
Ceiling mounted and stand-alone overhead cranes proved a cost effective and efficient solution to your material handling issues. A ceiling mounted crane will provide maximum coverage of an area without interfering with existing support columns, while a stand-alone system can be installed without being confined to the structure of the building. Also, either system can be linked to a monorail conveyor system or even another crane using our Track Transfer Assembly.
NikoTrack crane enables the user an easy, fast and ergonomic movement of the material downshop and across a span. Manual bridge cranes operate faster than motorized systems, the latter is used where accessibility is restricted.. The NikoTrack has a tapered track that automatically guides the trolley to the center of the track, moving the heaviest loads only requires a fraction of force to begin movement and even less to maintain it. There is a 100/1 weight to force ratio, so to move a 1,000 lbs of material only requires 10 lbs of force to start moving it and only 8 lbs to continue moving. Also, the NikoTracks inverted tapered track profile, there is a much less likelihood of dirt/dust accumulating inside of the track which will require less maintenance and ensure reliability.
NikoTrack has a full range of track, track joints, support brackets, I-beam connectors and end carriage trolleys. All designed for ease of design and installation. All fittings are zinc plate for maximum durability and protection for tough operating environments. Tracks are available in 6 meter length ( 19.70 feet), they are cold rolled with tapered sides designed to center the trolleys, prevent dust build up assuring smooth transfer of trolleys. The range of end carriage trolleys are fitted with horizontal guide rollers, connecting the moving cross bridge member to the down shop tracks.
C-track supply festoon assembly and c-track festoon pendant system for overhead cranes and industrial machinery. All festoon trolleys can be modified to fit either flat cable or round hose. Our nylon cable trolleys are extremely reliable and smooth running. Because of the self aligning tapered track, trolleys can never slide out of the center of the rail, ensuring a smooth and free operation.
