Product: Free Standing Work Station Cranes with Telescoping Bridge
The Problem: A company that manufactures Solar Panels in Mississauga, Ontario wanted to improve the way their workers loaded 1000 lb rolls of vinyl into a process machine. Their production demands had increased to the point that they needed a second processing center.
The Solution: The Company chose to install a Free Standing Work Station Crane with a Telescoping Bridge that cantilevers out approximately 1/3 of the bridge length beyond the runway span.
The floor area was very congested and there was an overhead venting obstruction associated with the new machine installation that could not easily be modified.
A standard Bridge Crane layout would not work as a lifting solution because of this obstruction. Consideration was given to using two jib cranes but that idea was disqualified because it would have meant a two-step lifting operation to handle the rolls.
