Partner Rabe Elektrohebezüge und Kransysteme from Ottenhofen was asked to design and install the light-crane workspaces. The light-cranes type ProfileMaster with electric chain hoists type SK were delivered by the Mannheim-based hoisting specialist SWF Krantechnik.

In the modern production hall a 48m crane runway was installed on the right side and on the left side two crane runways of 12 and 18m. The span width of all 18 bridges is 6.30m.

The runway was designed with profile UKA40 and an ultimate load of 500kg over two workplaces. The remaining areas are covered with profile UKA30 with an ultimate load of 400kg. Both areas as well as the two other runways are designed for double load capacity when using two hoists per area.

Because of the different demands on the height of the working areas, different trolleys for the bridges on the crane runways were used.

Crane service specialist Rabe appointed three technicians for the complete installation works, who installed a complete working area with 6m including bridge and electric chain hoist within one day.
