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. […]

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 […]

Innovative Solutions for Low-Headroom Situations The Slant Truss was a breakthrough development in the design of bridge cranes, as it added massively to the strength of a rail while adding only minimal weight. But some headroom is added by the Slant Truss. Givens has developed a variety of methods of addressing the low-headroom issue. […]

A Smarter Way to Handle Metal Parts Handling metal parts can be challenging, especially when traditional gripping methods fail. For delicate designs, thin structures, or awkward placements, excessive pressure from gripper jaws can cause damage. Magnet end effectors offer a safer alternative by securely moving metal components without contact, preventing damage while increasing efficiency. Why […]
Why Choose Mobile Manipulators for Your Warehouse? Benefits of Mobile Manipulators In today’s fast-paced warehouses, efficiency is key. Traditional fixed lifting devices can create bottlenecks, potentially slowing operations to a crawl. Mobile versions of our jib cranes, manipulators, and torque arms offer a solution. These flexible tools can be moved to where they’re needed most, […]
