American Crane Assists in the Clean Up

Posted to Announcement by Mrs. Beth Lerario of American Crane & Equipment Corporation at 9:56 AM

American Crane and Equipment is excited to announce its contribution to the construction of the world’s largest radio-active waste treatment plant. Our 3 Ton Bridge Crane was recently installed at the Hanford Vitrification Plant, located in the southeastern part of Washington State.

Our highly integrated and specialized Bridge Crane (weighing 6 tons and spanning over 17 feet) is designed and equipped to handle high levels of radiation via onboard systems that allow for remote operation and recovery. The special features of this crane enable the handling of the radioactive waste, which once vitrified will be placed in 55 gallon carbon steel drums.

The Department of Energy commissioned the design and construction of the project to Bechtel National Corporation. The teamwork and cooperation between all parties involved in the project led to a successful and timely installation. For more articles related to this project visit http://www.hanfordvitplant.com/.

American Crane Delivers the Payload!

Posted to Announcement by Mrs. Beth Lerario of American Crane & Equipment Corporation at 9:07 AM

We are very excited to be part of NASA's Twin Gravity Recovery And Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) spacecraft mission. The purpose of the GRAIL mission is to further advance an understanding of the moon's thermal evolution.

American Crane's MST (Mobile Service Tower) Single Failure Proof Crane helped build and later placed the payload (housing the GRAIL Twins) on top of the Delta II rocket. This Single Failure Proof Crane enabled the successful transfer, given the redundancy feature of its wire rope hoist. This crane has also assisted in such space missions as Skynet4D, Galaxy-10, Mars Polar Lander/DS-2, Orion F-3 and many others.

Upgrades and Rebuilds for Safety and Economics

Posted to Announcement by Mrs. Beth Lerario of American Crane & Equipment Corporation at 11:50 AM

REASONS TO UPGRADE:

Older controls on cranes and equipment are at a higher risk for failure. Retrofits and upgrades can reduce breakdowns, increase reliability and improve safety by reducing the risk of costly accidents and OSHA violations. In addition, extending the life of existing equipment can be done at a fraction of the cost of new equipment.

HOW WE CAN HELP:

American Crane and Equipment's highly experienced technical staff will evaluate the current condition of your equipment with the goal of increasing operating reliability and improving equipment safety. We will provide you with a detailed Condition Report outlining all deficiencies, concerns, and OSHA violations. After the completion of the work, American Crane will fully test and re-certify the crane.

CALL US TODAY at 1-877-877-6778 to schedule an Equipment Upgrade/Rebuild evaluation or email us at service@americancrane.com.

American Crane & Equipment provides more reasons why Overhead Lifting is the solution!

Posted to Announcement by Mrs. Beth Lerario of American Crane & Equipment Corporation at 1:26 PM

Reason 2: BETTER CONTROL & PRECISION

Control Your Load from a Safer Position

Radio remote controls and independent traveling pushbutton pendants allow the operator of Overhead Lifting Solutions to stand away from the load. This means that the operator is further removed from danger which reduces the risk of injury, and allows for a better view.

Safe and Effortless Maneuvering

American Crane and Equipment can provide you with Overhead Lifting Solutions that range from manually operated systems which carefully spot loads, to highly automated systems which maneuver with the precision of one thousandth of the rated speed to an exact location.

"Why Use Overhead Lifting Solutions?" - American Crane & Equipment can help provide the answer!

Posted to Announcement by Mrs. Beth Lerario of American Crane & Equipment Corporation at 2:27 PM

Reason 1: PROTECT YOUR EMPLOYEES

Employees move in and out of manufacturing facilities and shipping/receiving areas throughout a normal work day. Overhead Lifting Systems work within a specific area and limit an employee’s exposure to potential accidents caused by dangers like forklift traffic. Overhead Lifting Systems move products safely.

Ergonomic Solutions Combat Workers Compensation Claims:

According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), back injuries cost American industry 10 to 14 billion dollars in workers’ compensation costs and about 100 million work days annually. American Crane & Equipment Corporation can provide you with an Overhead Lifting System designed to safely and productively move your products.

American Crane can help with wildlife preservation...

Posted to Announcement by Mrs. Beth Lerario of American Crane & Equipment Corporation at 1:55 PM

Friday, June 3, 2011

American Crane can help with wildlife preservation...

Man made dams along rivers can block the migration of many species of fish to their spawning grounds upriver; most notably the American Shad, Hickory Shad and Salmon. American Crane offers specialized lift equipment designed to assist fish in the migratory process of swimming upstream to these spawning areas.

Fish lifts work by using water currents to attract the migrating fish into a channel. The equipment safely crowds the fish into a lift station for transport upstream of the dam. Specialized features are designed into each system to offer highly reliable performance in an outdoor application under all weather conditions. American Crane is proud to supply products that preserve our precious wildlife resources.

Click here to learn about our custom lift products. For further details regarding your specific application, please email our sales department or call us at 1-877-877-6778.

The flaws of the outdoor vertical transfer facilities show that a material handling expert, not cask experts, should design these type of systems. American Crane's revolutionary, patented design of SAFLIFT is testament to its commitment for providing safe and cost effective material handling solutions.
