New Shop Crane™ Performance Lifting System by Gorbel Takes the Pain out of Hobby Work

Feb. 4, 2011 - PRLog -- Gorbel is pleased to announce that they have added a non-industrial crane to their comprehensive line of overhead material handling equipment. The Shop Crane™ by Gorbel Performance Lifting System is a line of overhead bridge cranes designed to help lift heavy loads in non-industrial environments, like home garages, racing shops, and maintenance shops.

The Shop Crane™ (http://www.shopcrane.com/productinfo.aspx) uses two parallel steel tracks, or runways, to guide a steel bridge over your work space. The bridge features a non-binding trolley that glides along the inside of the enclosed track to give you complete coverage within the frame of the system. By spreading the weight of the load over the bridge and runways of the crane, moving and positioning a full 1000 pound load becomes a safe and easy one-person job.

The Shop Crane™ by Gorbel is ideal for:
• Automotive Restoration
• Racing Shops
• ATV & Motorcycle Repair
• Tractor & Equipment Maintenance
