Cranes and hoists for Cleanroom Environment

Material handling in cleanroom environments requires extremely strict regulations and specialized technical solutions. In these sensitive workspaces, the design, operation, and maintenance of lifting equipment must meet the highest standards of hygiene, quality, and safety. GD’s cleanroom cranes and hoists are purposefully engineered to tackle these challenges, offering efficient and uncompromising solutions tailored to critical industries.

Typical industries include:

• Food industry – where the presence of foreign matter or contamination must be completely avoided during handling,
• Pharmaceutical industry – where maintaining sterile production conditions is vital,
• Chemical industry – where chemical purity and corrosion resistance are top priorities,
• Microelectronics manufacturing – where a dust-free and clean space is essential to product quality.

GD’s cleanroom cranes are built using special surface treatments, sealed structural designs, and components optimized for dust- and particle-free operation. The materials used – such as stainless steel, specialized plastics, and sealed gaskets – ensure that the crane’s operation does not compromise the air or material purity of the cleanroom.

Key design considerations include:

• Minimal particle emission during operation
• Smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces resistant to chemical cleaning agents
• Sealed gearboxes and chain housings to prevent lubricant leakage
• Specialized control and power supply systems that integrate seamlessly with cleanroom infrastructure

GD cleanroom cranes are equipped with premium-quality components from STAHL CraneSystems, which also comply with international cleanroom standards. This ensures long service life, reliable operation, and zero risk to the quality of your production processes.

Drive systems are available based on client needs:

• Two-speed models – for precise lifting and quick repositioning
• Infinitely variable drives – for ultra-precise, smooth movements

GD cleanroom lifting solutions are not only compliant with industry regulations, but also become an integral part of the production process, supporting efficient, hygienic, and safe material handling. Each system is custom-designed to suit the specific requirements of your facility, offering tailored solutions for unique applications.
