Ergonomic lifting for workstations and assembly lines
Carl Stahl Craftsman light crane systems are modular XY cranes for light-duty lifting where precision, operator comfort and low headroom matter. They complement EOT cranes by handling frequent lifts at individual workstations.
LiftoMech supplies, installs and services these systems, and can combine them with Carl Stahl electric chain hoists for a complete workstation solution.

Single and double girder configurations
Suspended from the roof structure or a free-standing support frame.


Single girder light crane
One bridge rail travelling on two runway rails — the most common, economical configuration for workstation lifting.


Double girder light crane
Two bridge rails for higher capacities, wider spans and improved hook height.
A modular system built from standard parts
Standard components make the system quick to install, easy to extend and simple to maintain.

Rail profiles
Enclosed track profiles for smooth, low-friction travel.

Trolleys
Precision-guided trolleys for bridge and hoist travel.

Hanger suspension
Secure, adjustable mounting to roof or support structure.

Low headroom system
Maximises lifting height in restricted spaces.

Power drive
Motorised travel for longer runways and heavier loads.
