Precision Hoisting, Redefined: How Bonfiglioli Is Driving Smarter Lifting for Cranes & Hoists

In today’s logistics, port, and industrial sectors, crane operators and OEMs face intense pressure to reduce downtime, lower energy costs, and deliver precise, repeatable performance under heavy loads. The stakes are high—and so is the demand for smarter motion.

Bonfiglioli’s gearmotors, gearboxes, and inverter systems are meeting this challenge head-on by offering complete, customizable drive solutions for winches, gantry cranes, overhead cranes, and industrial crane systems.

Overcoming Industry Challenges

1. Energy Waste During Load Lowering

Without regenerative braking, energy released during descent is lost as heat. This inefficiency drives up costs and increases cooling demands.

2. Misalignment & Mechanical Stress

Poor shaft alignment between gearboxes and drums/trolleys can cause overloads, noise, and costly premature failure.

3. Space & Layout Constraints

Indoor overhead cranes, shipyard winches, and boom systems often have limited room for drive components and demand compact, high-torque systems.

4. Inadequate Safety & Braking Controls

Standard drives may not support fail-safe braking, overload detection, or broken cable prevention—raising serious safety concerns.

F Series

The F Series is an outstanding solution for customers looking for a drive that can maximize mounting flexibility. Thanks to the housing's lateral holes, the F Series can also be side mounted directly into the machine, in addition to all the conventional mounting positions. This gearmotor guarantees elevated efficiency, reliability and low-noise operation. High torque density, a range of wide gear ratios and a compact design complete the F Series' characteristics. The F Series can be completed with a wide range of electric motors entirely manufactured by Bonfiglioli. Asynchronous motors both IEC and compact (BN-BE-BX/M-ME-MX), servomotors (BMD) and reluctance motors (BSR) can be coupled with the F Series.
