Overview
Gorbel manufactures overhead cranes, lifting devices, fall-protection systems and conveyors for factories, warehouses and distribution centers. Its equipment helps workers safely position heavy components, move material through production areas and load or unload trailers. The company designs and builds machinery around a customer's load, workspace and handling requirements, with technical resources supporting installation and continued use. Revenue comes from equipment sales and the associated parts and service needs of installed systems across its overhead and warehouse product lines. Founded in 1977, Gorbel is headquartered in Fishers, New York.
