GVL Line

Lightweight Overhead Cranes

Name: GVL Lightweight Aluminum Overhead Cranes
Brand: ALIUM

scale250 – 2,000 kg capacity

Our flagship system — aluminum bridge cranes that cover an entire work area while staying light enough to position by hand. Installed on existing structures, no civil works required.

Configurations

One system, configured to your plant

Every bay is different. The GVL system is built from modular aluminum profiles, so it adapts to your layout — from a single running track to a full elevated double-girder bridge. These are the most common configurations; layouts are engineered to your span, height and load.

Straight Monorail

Single running track for point-to-point lifting along one fixed line.

Curved Monorail

Curved track that routes loads around cells, columns or obstacles.

Twin-Rail Monorail

Two parallel rails for wider spans or heavier single-axis handling.

Single-Bridge Crane

One bridge spanning the bay — full work-area coverage, standard duty.

Single-Bridge — Low Headroom

Compact single-bridge design for bays with limited overhead clearance.

Double-Bridge Crane

Two bridges for higher capacity and greater throughput.

Double-Bridge — Low Headroom

Compact double-bridge design for higher capacity in low-clearance bays.

Telescopic Bridge

Extendable bridge that adjusts its span to cover variable bay widths.

Overview

Full-area coverage, minimal effort

GVL overhead cranes combine a bridge that travels the length of the bay with a trolley that spans its width — giving operators lifting coverage across the entire work area rather than a single fixed point. Available in single- and double-bridge configurations to match your throughput.

Because the structure is aluminum, the whole system is dramatically lighter than steel equivalents. That means lower rolling resistance, effortless manual positioning, and installation on existing building structures — no reinforced foundations, no extended downtime.

Key benefits

Why plants choose GVL

air

Low deadweight

Aluminum construction cuts system weight and rolling resistance for effortless movement.

grid_view

Single & double bridge

Configure for standard coverage or high-throughput bays with dual bridges.

crop_free

Full-area coverage

Lift anywhere in the work zone — not just at one fixed pick point.

accessibility_new

Ergonomic handling

Light enough to guide loads by hand, reducing operator strain and cycle time.

bolt

No civil works

Mounts to existing structures and is commissioned in days, not weeks.

view_module

Modular & expandable

Extend coverage or add bridges as production grows — no rip-and-replace.

Complete systems

We also supply the support structure

Not every building can carry an overhead crane — and some work areas have nothing to mount to at all. When that's the case, ALIUM supplies the support structure as part of the system: freestanding columns and portal frames engineered to carry the runway without relying on the existing building.
