Light Crane Systems: Modular, Efficient, Customisable

Erikkila’s Light Crane Systems are built to support a wide variety of lifting tasks across different work environments — from assembly lines and logistics hubs to workshop floors. These modular crane systems are available with single-girder or double-girder construction, offering capacities of up to 2,000 kg, making them suitable for both light and more demanding lifting requirements.

Key benefits include:

  • Flexible configurations — easily adapted to your layout with different profile materials and suspension options.

  • Efficient movement flows — smooth hoist travel with minimal effort and excellent ergonomics.

  • Custom options — for low headroom environments, curved tracks, switches or telescopic sections.

With both steel and aluminium profile options, these solutions provide strength where needed and lightweight performance where it matters most. This modular design means you can tailor the system exactly to your workflow and application needs.

Movable Workstation Cranes: On-Demand Flexibility

For workspaces where lifting requirements change frequently or where permanent installations aren’t practical, the Erikkila Movable Workstation Crane delivers a new level of flexibility.

Unlike traditional fixed systems, these mobile cranes can be moved easily between workstations without anchors or major setup, making them ideal for:

  • Temporary or evolving production layouts

  • Maintenance and servicing cells

  • Job-site environments or shared facilities

Available in various sizes and configurations — including single, double and raised bridge options — the movable workstation crane can handle up to 500 kg of lifting capacity and supports attachments like power, lighting, compressed air and balancers, enhancing integration into any industrial setup.

Durable casters with secure locking systems ensure the crane stays stable in use, and the intuitive layout means minimal operational training is needed.

Why Erikkila Systems Make a Difference

Erikkila’s approach to light crane and workstation cranes is shaped by more than just lifting capacity — it’s driven by operational ergonomics, productivity gains and adaptability:

  • Designed for ergonomic ease of use, reducing operator strain and improving cycle times.

  • Modular design allows reconfiguration to match evolving operational needs.

  • Backed by decades of engineering expertise from a global lifting solutions brand.

These systems are particularly suited to customers who want a lifting solution that adapts with their business — whether it’s in manufacturing, warehousing, maintenance or assembly operations.
