Material Handling Solutions for Stone, Metal & Glass
Stone Fabricator Solutions (SFS) provides custom-engineered material handling systems designed to improve efficiency, safety, and profitability in your shop. We specialize in solutions for the stone countertop industry, while also serving metal and glass applications.
By evaluating your shop footprint, equipment, and fabrication workflow, we design systems that integrate seamlessly into your operation—helping you move material faster, safer, and with less labor. In many cases, one person can safely move a slab or part, reducing strain and increasing productivity.

Long-term durability and efficiency
Freight and shipping costs for cranes, hoists, and vacuum lifters
This ensures you get the most cost-effective and practical solution for your operation.
Free Standing Jib Cranes are Gorbel’s most versatile crane. They are perfect to place underneath large bridge cranes, in open areas where they can serve several work stations, in outdoor applications such as loading docks, or in machining and assembly operations where they can be overlapped with other jibs to provide staged operation.
A ceiling mounted version of our work station bridge crane is manufactured from aluminum or steel, offers a similar coverage profile, and perfect when you need to keep the production floor clear of obstructions.
Bridge cranes cover rectangular work areas, while monorail systems can be used to move loads along a linear path, cover various work area shapes, or to link work areas together. Work station bridge cranes and monorails can be used individually or can be readily adapted for more sophisticated applications by the addition of extra monorail tracks, curves, and transfers that can be easily configured into a total system.
