Workstation crane systems with an aluminium profile
have been developed to meet and exceed the specific
requirements of demanding industries, such as the
automotive sector. the modular design of the Xa
aluminium Workstation Crane, combined with its light
weight, high structural stiffness, small rolling resistance
and very quiet use, allows a wide range of standard and
tailor-made solutions – for most modern lifting demands.

the Xa aluminium Workstation Crane is a multipurpose
crane with light beams for smooth and easy load
handling. It makes the workflow more ergonomic and
allows workers to move loads fast and with less effort.
konecranes offers one of the most comprehensive
aluminium rail programs in the industry and with versatile
configurations available, including monorails, single and
double girder cranes etc. the Xa aluminium Workstation
Crane has different profile sizes for different loads with a
capacity to handle loads of up to 2 tons.

Increasing productivity and cost-efficiency
• short installation times due to the modular
design reduce downtime of the crane and the
working area in question.
• light weight and low rolling resistance allow
many applications to be realized with push/
pull trolleys rather than motorized drives, which
enables cost-efficient modern solutions.
• longer lifetime can be achieved thanks to
anodizing, which increases the aluminium
alloy’s naturally excellent corrosion resistance
and durability.
enhanced ergonomics
• faster load handling with less effort: rolling
resistance is reduced by 50% compared to the
traditional steel rails in the market.
• low dead weight – reduced up to 50%
compared to the traditional steel rails in the
market.
• High-precision rail manufacturing process
ensures smooth and quiet movement, even
across rail joints.

Moving Positioning and stopping
Xa rolling resistance is much lower compared to steel – the same load with
less effort leads to better productivity.
extending spaces
• spans with a unique profile shape and high
material strength give a bigger working area
below the crane.
• fewer supporting structures are needed thanks
to outstanding suspension distance.
• light weight requires less strength from the
building structure.
• flexibility and multiple load device options
enable customization according to varying
customer needs.
backing up the revolutionary performance
Xa cranes are delivered with the following
standard features:
• Xa profiles cut to length
• Profiles with bolt connections,
