System overview

Engineered around your production requirement

ES-PRO designs and manufactures Automatic Gantry Hoist Systems for electroplating, anodizing, chemical cleaning, and surface treatment lines. The system automates the lifting and transfer of workpieces between process tanks, ensuring precise positioning, consistent transfer timing, and reliable production flow.

Each system is customized according to tank layout, loading capacity, process sequence, and production requirements. Integrated with PLC and SCADA control systems, the gantry hoist supports automatic recipe execution, real-time position monitoring, collision prevention, and safety interlocks.

Designed for continuous industrial operation, the system reduces manual handling, improves process consistency, and enhances production efficiency while providing flexibility for future production expansion.

Applications

Where this system fits

ES-PRO Automatic Gantry Hoist Systems are widely used in automated surface treatment lines requiring precise material handling, consistent processing times, and reliable operation.

  • Electroplating Lines: Automatic transfer of racks and workpieces between cleaning, plating, rinsing, and post-treatment tanks.

  • Anodizing Lines: Controlled lifting and transfer for conventional anodizing, hard anodizing, and sealing processes.

  • Chemical Cleaning Lines: Automated handling through degreasing, pickling, activation, and rinsing stages.

  • Electroless Plating Lines: Precise workpiece transfer for electroless nickel and other chemical deposition processes.

  • Metal Finishing Lines: Suitable for passivation, phosphating, stripping, and other surface treatment processes.

  • PCB & Electronic Component Processing: Automated transport for production processes requiring accurate positioning and consistent immersion times.
