In June we revealed the 3 Ton all-aluminum crane with a disengeable tractor drive running on a 25’ span. Today we introduce a 3 Ton all-aluminum crane over an impressive 40’ span. To our knowledge, this type of crane is not offered anywhere in the world. Let me explain….. This all-aluminum bridge weighs approximately 1/3 what […]

Our new tractor drive for cranes, the ATS, is about half the weight of our traditional tractor drive, the AT (air tractor) or ET (electric tractor). The ATS weighs about 25 lb and can be carried in one hand. Dave Chivers, who developed the ATS, can explain it best: For its small size, the ATS has […]
We have developed a 3-ton crane where the bridge and runways are made of aluminum, making the bridge one of the most lightweight in the world. What makes it lightweight? It’s our classic G-Rail enclosed-track rail supported by our patented Slant Truss reinforcement. We combine that extremely light bridge with our electric disengageable […]

1. Improve Working Posture and Range of Motion Poor posture and restricted movements are the leading causes of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in industrial settings. Ergonomic material handling equipment—such as adjustable lift tables, articulated arms, and conveyors that are height adjustable help workers maintain neutral body positions, reducing stress on the spine, shoulders, and joints. By […]

At Givens Engineering, we’re redefining what a crane can do. Our patent-pending design allows a crane to seamlessly roll over a gap in the rail, enabling a commercial dock door to close through it. This means that trucks do not have to enter your building; Our innovative crane efficiently receives the material outside, lifts it, and then smoothly […]

Why are almost all grippers on robots, cranes and manipulators pneumatic? It’s because powerful electric grippers are, for all practical purposes, unavailable. To solve this problem, our electric grippers incorporate our patent-pending electric clamping actuator. This invention allows a gripper to close fast against any object with a powerful grip. Our electric grippers are tough and […]
That’s right, an all-electric disengageable tractor drive that disengages from the crane rail when the drive is not needed. A breakthrough in electric crane drive technology, this innovation offers increased flexibility, faster movement, and zero need for pneumatic systems, making it an ideal upgrade for bridge cranes and other crane systems. What Makes the Electric […]

We’ve reworked our line of articulated jib cranes to move the balancer to the midpoint of the arm. This engineering enhancement offers 2 advantages: Key Advantages of Articulated Jib Cranes Articulated jibs, in general, offer more engineering advantages over “straight” jibs: These features make articulated jibs ideal for workstation lifting systems, assembly lines, and confined workspaces. […]

How Strong Is the G-Rail? C2000 G-Rail Load Test Results At Givens Engineering, load testing is a standard practice to ensure the reliability of our crane systems. On January 23, 2025, we conducted an “extreme” load test on our C2000 G-Rail crane rail, with results that emphasized the resilience of our bridge crane products. Testing […]

What Are Mobile Manipulators? Mobile Industrial Manipulators are exactly as their name suggests – mobile! These systems are column-mounted onto a robust base, typically crafted from durable steel slabs or a concrete foundation. Due to their weight, moving them often requires the use of a forklift. Each mobile manipulator’s base is custom-designed to handle specific […]
