The Importance of Cranes in Vekoma’s Production Processes
Vekoma’s production facilities play a crucial role in manufacturing the attractions delivered to customers worldwide. The process involves producing roller coaster tracks, trains, drive systems, and other large components, which must be carefully assembled and tested before being shipped to amusement parks.
ABUS cranes are used in the assembly plants, where they are essential for moving and positioning heavy and complex components. With a span of nearly 28 meters, the five single-girder overhead cranes can reach all large parts within the production facility, increasing efficiency and reducing production time. The single-girder semi-gantry cranes provide additional flexibility for precision work, such as assembling trains and other advanced mechanical systems.
Thanks to these cranes, Vekoma can continue to meet the strict requirements of its customers worldwide while maintaining the highest quality standards.
Sustainability and Innovation
Vekoma has always had a strong focus on innovation and sustainability. The new campus is designed with a sustainable future in mind, utilising the latest technologies and eco-friendly construction methods. The ABUS cranes installed on the campus contribute to Vekoma’s sustainability goals through their energy efficiency and long lifespan. This aligns perfectly with Vekoma’s broader strategy to reduce its ecological footprint and contribute to a greener future for the industry.
With the new Vlodrop campus and the advanced lifting systems from ABUS, Vekoma is ready for the future. The combination of cutting-edge technology, robust production facilities, and advanced cranes ensures that Vekoma can maintain its leading position in the amusement industry while further improving its productivity and efficiency.
