Move loads with ease: Module improves crane system

They don’t need a workout at the gym, yet they’re still incredibly strong: IWS System crane systems handle the lifting and transport of everything from small to massive loads on behalf of humans. But their energy must first be reliably channeled and second, safely stopped – preferably in stages. To achieve this, Heiko Grüner, Head of Electrical Maintenance at IWS System, was looking for a straightforward control system and has now found a suitable custom solution from Kraus & Naimer – tailored exactly to his requirements.

Configurable crane system made in Germany
The modular system of the IWS “THE LINE” light-duty crane is the flagship product of this 25-person company based in the Vogtlandkreis. Unlike many traditional gantry crane installations, it stands out for its simple assembly, fast delivery times, and maximum lifting height even with a minimal overall height. The modular system allows for adjustments and expansions at any time, making it ideal for changing operational requirements.

For example, a model requiring just three square meters of floor space is sometimes needed because there is hardly any room on site for larger structures. In other cases, IWS equips entire industrial halls where massive crane bridges move loads of up to one ton, thereby significantly streamlining processes in production, warehousing, and assembly.
