Crane Kits
Build your own turnkey crane with our crane kit solutions
W.W. Cannon offers complete crane kits that allow you to build your own crane. You provide the bridge, paint, and assembly. Kits from industry leading manufacturers include R&M Material Handling, Harrington Hoist, and Columbus McKinnon.
Available in both chain and wire rope hoist configurations, these complete crane kits are the perfect turnkey solution for basic operational needs.
Following is a small sampling of available kit options.
QX Wire Rope Hoist Crane (by R&M Materials Handling)
Crane packages are designed to work as a complete system, so every component, from the hoist selection to the bridge drives and girder size, are designed to work together. This means you are getting a fully optimized package to maximize your floor coverage and make the best use of your building space.
Standard Features:
- Spacemaster®SX wire rope hoist with two-speed hoisting controls
- Top or underrunning design
- C-track festoon electrification system with UL listed cables
- PRQ ergonomic pendant controller
- Optional RaCon®3 radio controller
- HoistMonitor®or HoistWatch load monitoring system
- Standard inverter controls for trolley and bridge for reduced load swing
- NEMA 4 type rated control enclosures
- Plug-in connections for easy assembly and maintenance*
- 208, 230, 460 or 575/3/60 power supplies, as well as 380/3/50.
- 115 volt control voltage for all power supplies (48 volt optional)
- All components are CSA C/US approved
* Plug-in connections not available for some environments and features.
Every QX wire rope crane package comes equipped with a HoistMonitor or HoistWatch load monitoring system. This system prevents overloads, monitors equipment usage, and provides helpful advanced service warnings to help you keep your equipment running safely and avoid costly downtime. The 4-position hoisting limit includes an innovative phase reversal position which prevents the block from running into and damaging the hoist in the event of phase reversal.
Sealed dust-proof brakes on the motors are self-adjusting and impregnated with Kevlar for high-performance wear, designed for over a million cycles. Standard inverter control motions on the trolley and bridge safely slow the motor speed to zero before the brake sets. This speed ramp up and ramp down time reduces load swing and extends the life of the motor brake. Less maintenance, less downtime, lower repair costs — and reduced cost over the lifetime of your hoist equipment.
NRGmaster Energy Chain Crane (by R&M Materials Handling)
NRGmaster energy chain cranes feature an energy chain-style crane electrification system that supplies power to the hoist. It is an alternative to the traditional C-track festoon system featured on the QX® modular crane. NRGmaster electrification consists of power and control cables that are enclosed in a flexible chain. The chain rests in a guide channel that is fastened to the web of the bridge girder. The free end of the chain bends into a U-shape and connects to the hoist tow arm while the other end fastens to the channel. The NRGmaster energy chain crane helps you achieve the best crane clearances and shop floor coverage while reducing the maintenance concerns associated with traditional C-track festoons.
Standard Features:
- Spacemaster®SX wire rope hoist
- NRGmaster festoon with spans up to 100 ft (30 m)
- Maximum hoist capacity = 80 tons (80,000 kg)
- 1 or 2 hoists per bridge
- RaCon® ARC radio control included for one-hand usability and improved operation safety
With the NRGmaster, there are no dangling festoon cables that could impede the movement of the crane around other on-site equipment. The NRGmaster energy chain crane is advantageous in applications that require frequent trolley motion or any time that a radio controller is necessary. Compared to a C-track festoon, the NRGmaster is a more durable product with less possibility for breakage or pinching of the internal wires, which could lead to damaged parts and increased down time. Factories that are customer-facing (such as an auto manufacturer) choose the NRGmaster for its clean, streamlined appearance.
The compact design of the Spacemaster coupled with optimized crane components and bridge girder design results in lower roof heights with maximum lifting heights and hook-to-wall dimensions. Your new building design can be smaller and more functional, giving you savings in initial construction and continual savings in heating and/or air conditioning expenses over the lifetime of your building. The NRGmaster festoon gives you the most flexible options for your factory layout and material flow planning.
The NRGmaster festoon system removes the maintenance concerns associated with a traditional C-track festoon. There are no dangling wires to snag on equipment, and the electrical cables are protected inside the energy chain with a much wider turning radius which helps to prevent broken wires. Additionally, the crane system comes standard with a RaCon ARC radio for safer, hands-free and more ergonomic operation of the crane, providing operators with a more comfortable grip to better control the load.
QL Electric Chain Hoist Crane (by R&M Materials Handling)
QL electric chain hoist cranes are a total package solution for your light-duty material handling needs. The crane components have been designed as a complete system to maximize efficiency and optimize your floor space. As part of our offering, we are bringing you the best quality components available for electric chain hoist cranes in the market, including a C-track style festoon, all metallic hoist body and electrical enclosures, and bridge and trolley drives designed specifically for use on cranes.
Standard Features:
- LK electric chain hoist with two-speed hoisting controls
- 1/2 – 5 ton (500 – 5,000 kg) capacities
- Single girder top running or single girder underrunning crane designs
- LK electric chain hoist with motorized trolley
- 208, 230, 460 or 575/3/60 power supplies
- Standard inverter controls for trolley and bridge for reduced load swing
- Crane spans up to 62 ft [19m]
- PRQ ergonomic pendant controller
- Optional RaCon®3 radio controller
- Durable C-track festoon electrification system with UL listed cables
- CSA C/US approved NEMA 4-3R type/IP55
Every LK electric chain hoist comes standard with a slip clutch overload device, protecting you from dangerous accidental overloads. With the slip clutch device, if an operator attempts to lift a load beyond the rated capacity, the load will only be able to be lowered safely to the ground. Additionally, the LK electric chain hoist is equipped with a rocker style limit switch to prevent overtravel of the hook block into the hoisting machinery. The Rocker Limit design maximizes headroom and safety.
The crane is equipped with all inverter-controlled trolley and bridge motions, meaning reduced load swing and better safety. The inverter controls also significantly reduce brake wear on the trolley and bridge.
The LK electric chain hoist line is HMI-Certified. The purpose of the HMI-Certified License program is to instill buyer and user confidence in the product by assuring it meets one or more recognized industry standards, and the licensee is committed to safety, service and after-market support. The product is also verified, signed and sealed that it meets the requirements of said Standard(s) by a qualified US registered Professional Engineer.
