Crane adapted for restricted space and bulk handling

A client's requirements for a crane defied the design of traditional jib cranes. To achieve the desired length of the arm, a certain height was necessary. Unfortunately, the height of the ceiling where the crane was to be used was too low to allow this.

Bomac designed an inverted Altrac jib crane for this client with the brace below the arm, rather than above it as in most jib cranes. This allowed the client to achieve the range of lift and movement needed within the restricted space.

The vacuum lifting foot for this project was designed to easily lift and move 25 kg bags of milk powder onto a conveyor belt.

The strength and light weight of Altrac allows jib arms to be long, offering the operator a greater range of movement. Altrac cranes are easy to operate and move freely with the operator without requiring additional effort to swing the arm or roll the trolleys.

Altrac comes as a pre-engineered, modular structure in kit format that the purchaser can install. The track is self-cleaning and won't corrode or flake off. All Bomac Engineering products are compliant with Australian safety codes, including Australian Crane Code AS1418.
