Overhead Crane HMS ARES 1 17-51-102 — Load Capacity 1000 kg, Span 3 m

The Overhead Crane HMS ARES 1 (model 17-51-102) is a single-girder lifting device with a rated load capacity of 1000 kg and a span of 3 m. It is designed to provide horizontal transfer and vertical lifting of goods in workshops and small warehouses, allowing controlled movement along the crane runway and precise placement within the work envelope. The crane's load capacity and span define mounting requirements and the area it can service, making it suitable for light industrial material handling tasks.

Advantages

The single-girder design offers a compact installation profile and lower structural requirements compared with multi-girder systems while still delivering a 1000 kg rated capacity. A 3 m span provides a moderate working width suited to constrained interiors. The crane enables safer and more efficient handling of loads through mechanized lifting and horizontal transfer, reducing manual handling and associated risks. Its straightforward configuration simplifies integration into existing workshop setups and facilitates routine maintenance.

Suitable for

• Light manufacturing and assembly tasks that require lifting up to 1 tonne
• Small warehouses and storage areas for moving bulky items within a 3 m span
• Maintenance bays and repair shops for handling engines, transmissions, and heavy components
• Tooling and fabrication stations where parts require precise placement

Key specifications

• Rated load capacity: 1000 kg
• Span (distance between runway supports): 3 m
• Configuration: single-girder overhead crane
• Primary function: horizontal transfer and vertical lifting of goods
• Typical mounting: ceiling or runway-supported installation within workshop or warehouse

How to use

Install the crane on a suitably rated runway or support structure following local building and safety codes and manufacturer installation guidance. Use the crane to lift loads within the rated capacity by attaching approved lifting gear to the hoist and ensuring the load is balanced before movement. Operate horizontal travel and hoisting controls smoothly to position items accurately; avoid jerky motions and sudden stops. Inspect lifting attachments, connections, and controls before each use and follow lockout procedures when performing maintenance or adjustments.

Usage recommendations

Regularly schedule inspections and preventive maintenance, including checks of hoist mechanisms, runway alignment, and safety devices. Use certified slings and attachments rated for the crane's 1000 kg capacity. Train operators on safe rigging, load balancing, and emergency stop procedures to maintain a safe working environment.
