California-based Level Crane Systems has partnered with R&M Materials Handling to introduce a customised overhead crane system equipped with automated controls designed for precise lifting and positioning of filter cartridges.

The system enables repeatable operations without manual intervention, addressing efficiency and handling requirements in specialised industrial settings.

Level Crane Systems stated: “We appreciate R&M’s support and technical expertise as we seek to delight innovative customers requiring unique lifting solutions.”

Founded in 2001, Level Crane Systems provides overhead crane solutions tailored to meet complex lifting challenges across various industries.

The company, headquartered in Irvine, offers an end-to-end service, from initial assessment to system integration. It ensures cranes are designed for operational efficiency, compliance with safety standards, and seamless integration with existing workflows.

The development process at Level Crane Systems begins with an on-site evaluation to assess operational constraints, lifting capacities, and workplace safety requirements. Based on these findings, a customised crane system is designed by Level Crane Systems to align with the client’s specific needs.

The engineering phase ensures the system meets industry safety and performance standards while incorporating automation and control features for improved handling precision.

Once fabrication is complete, Level Crane Systems manages the installation process, aiming to minimise downtime and ensure efficient deployment within production environments. The company also provides training programmes to equip operators with the necessary knowledge for safe and effective crane usage.

R&M Materials Handling, which claims to have over 85 years of experience, supplies a range of manual, electric chain, and wire rope hoists. These products are distributed through a network of independently owned distributors, service providers, and material handling manufacturers.

The company’s products are integrated into crane systems across various industries, supporting lifting operations with standardised and customised solutions.

Headquartered in Springfield, Ohio, R&M Materials Handling operates a logistics and training centre to enable timely product distribution and technical support across North and South America. The company’s distribution network spans crane builders, industrial distributors, and service companies, ensuring accessibility to its lifting solutions across multiple markets.
