Product Description

A light crane system covers a work zone instead of a single point. A jib crane swings a load around one column; a light crane runs it along a track, so one system can serve a row of machines, an assembly line or a packing area. The hoist hangs from a low-friction trolley, and the operator positions the load with a push on the load or the handle. For loads of 2 T and below, an EOT crane is heavier and costlier than the job needs, and a light track puts the hoist at the station while the main crane stays free for heavy lifts.
We make three track systems. The Steel Light Crane System (LCS) is the all-round choice for dry indoor shops. The Aluminium Light Crane System (ALCS) is lighter, needs less structural support and resists corrosion. The Rigid Light Crane System (RLCS) uses heavy steel track profiles for spans up to 10 m. Each is offered as single girder up to 1 T or double girder up to 2 T, and steel systems can be motorised for repeated transfers.

Industries We Serve

Our light crane systems work in plants across these sectors. Reference sites are available on request.

Automotive Component Manufacturing
Tools, jigs, fixtures and small sub-assemblies move along the line on one track, so operators stop carrying parts between stations.
General Manufacturing and Assembly
A track over a bench row or assembly line carries tooling and parts from station to station with one hand, cutting repetitive lifting strain.
Electronics and Light Manufacturing
Delicate equipment and precision parts need slow, controlled placement, which a low-friction push-pull trolley gives without jerks.
Warehousing and Logistics
Packing tables, loading bays and order-picking zones use a track to move cartons and machine parts from dock to floor.
Fabrication Workshops
Cut sections, small weldments and machined parts travel between marking, welding and finishing without waiting for a bay crane.
Marine and Shipyards
Outfitting and pipe shops use light tracks for valves, fittings and machined parts that need exact placement.
Paper and Pulp
Bearings, core shafts and spares are handled at maintenance stations around the machine hall.
Humid and Corrosion-Prone Plants
Aluminium systems suit damp and moisture-prone areas where a steel track would need frequent rust protection.

Types We Manufacture

Four types cover most workstation layouts. Capacity, span and track layout are set against your station at enquiry.

Steel Light Crane Systems for Assembly and Workshop Handling

Best Suited For:
Assembly lines • Machine shops • Warehouses • Light manufacturing
The steel LCS uses high-strength steel profiles that keep the track rigid at a low dead weight. Double-bearing trolleys cut friction and noise, and flexible joints in the suspension clamps keep the trolley travelling steadily along the track. Choose it for tool, jig and sub-assembly handling in dry indoor shops, with the option to motorise the travel.

Aluminium Light Crane Systems for Light and Humid Environments

Best Suited For:
Electronics assembly • Light manufacturing • Humid or moisture-prone areas • Warehousing
Aluminium profiles weigh less than steel, so the track needs less structural support, goes up faster and moves easily when the layout changes. The material does not rust, which suits humid areas and clean-room work. Rolling resistance is low, so a light push moves the load. It suits loads up to 2 T where the building structure is limited or the air is damp.

Rigid Light Crane Systems for Wide Work Areas

Best Suited For:
Wide bays • Heavy assembly lines • Fabrication workshops • Automotive and engineering plants
The rigid LCS (RLCS) uses heavy-duty steel track profiles that hold deflection to a minimum across long spans. A single track can cover a work zone up to 10 m wide without extra supports. The track can run straight, curve, form a monorail or serve several bays side by side. Choose it when one system must cover a wide zone and the trolley has to stay accurate along the full length.

Motorised Light Crane Systems for Repeated Transfers

Best Suited For:
High-throughput lines • Long tracks • Repetitive lifting zones • Assembly stations with fixed cycles
On a motorised system an electric drive moves the trolley, so the operator no longer pushes the load by hand. Powered travel gives a steady, even movement over the whole track. Choose it when the same transfer repeats through the shift, or when pushing by hand slows the line.

Safety, Controls and Durability

Overload Protection

Protects the track and the operator. Overload protection is built into every system so the crane does not lift beyond its rated capacity.

Limit Switches and Anti-Drop Devices

Keep the load where it should be. Limit switches stop travel at the ends, and anti-drop devices guard against a load falling if a component fails.

Double-Bearing Trolleys

Low friction, low noise. The trolley rolls with little effort, so the load moves where the operator guides it and stops where the operator stops.

Rigid Track Profiles

Low deflection along the full span. Rigid steel profiles hold the trolley level, which keeps travel smooth and positioning accurate on spans up to 10m.

Corrosion-Resistant Aluminium

Built for damp air. Aluminium tracks do not rust, which suits humid plants and clean-room work.

Emergency Stop on Motorised Systems

One press stops powered travel. Motorised systems carry an emergency stop alongside overload protection.

What Makes Macroverse Different

As a light crane manufacturer with teams across South India, here is what sets our engineering and after-sales support apart.

Installation, AMC and Spare Parts Support

A station crane runs every shift over the same track, so trolley bearings, hoist parts and suspension clamps wear faster than the light build suggests. We handle installation and commissioning, including setting the track straight and level and checking every suspension point against your building.
‍
Our AMC covers scheduled inspection, lubrication and wear-part checks on trolleys, clamps, hoists and safety devices, with priority response when a station stops. Trolley and hoist parts, limit switches and safety devices are available as genuine spares, so a worn part does not mean a stopped line.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a light crane system used for?
It moves loads along a track at workstations, assembly lines, packing areas and maintenance stations. A hoist hangs from a low-friction trolley, and the operator guides the load by hand or with an electric drive, anywhere under the track.
2. How is a light crane system different from an EOT crane?
A light crane system is a modular track of steel or aluminium profiles for loads up to 2 T, hung from the building structure and bolted together. An EOT crane runs on its own runway, is built for 1 T and above, and covers a full bay. Many plants run both: an EOT crane for bay-wide moves and light tracks at individual stations.
3. What capacity and span do your light cranes support?
Capacity runs from 125 kg to 2 T. Steel, aluminium and rigid systems are all offered as single girder up to 1 T and double girder up to 2 T. Rigid systems span up to 10 m, and steel and aluminium tracks are laid out to your station.
4. What is the difference between steel, aluminium and rigid systems?
Steel is the all-round choice for dry indoor shops. Aluminium is lighter, needs less structural support and resists corrosion, so it suits humid areas. Rigid uses heavy steel profiles to keep deflection low across spans up to 10 m.
5. Can a light crane system be extended or moved later?
Yes. The parts are joined with standard bolts, so beams can be extended or shortened, rails added or removed, and the whole track taken down and set up again after a line change or factory move.
6. What building structure does a light crane system need?
The track hangs from I-beams, H-beams or ceiling mounts. It weighs far less than a conventional crane, but the building still carries it. Share your roof or beam details and we will confirm the suspension points and whether any strengthening is needed.
7. When should I choose a motorised system?
Choose motorised when the same transfer repeats through the shift, the track is long or manual pushing slows the line. Electric drive gives even travel and removes the effort of moving the load by hand.
8. Which hoist can I fit on a light crane system?
Electric chain hoist or balancer hoist, selected by load, lift height and lifts per hour. A balancer hoist suits precise, low-effort placement; an electric chain hoist suits heavier, longer lifts.
9. Should I choose a light crane system or a jib crane?
Choose a light crane when the work runs along a line of machines or benches. Choose a jib crane when lifting happens around one fixed point. A jib covers a circle, and a light crane covers a strip along its track.
10. What should I share to get a quotation?
Load in kg or tons, track length or span, single or double girder, mounting structure (I-beam, H-beam or ceiling), lifting height, lifts per hour, indoor, humid or clean-room use, and manual or motorised preference. A sketch or photo of the area helps if you do not have drawings.
