Stevenson Crane, Rigging & Heavy Haul has successfully installed a 147ft overhead crane at a facility in Northwest Indiana, US.
The crane, weighing over 100,000 pounds, is now operational on rails, facilitating the loading and unloading of trucks by supporting a crane trolley that moves along the facility’s length.
The installation of overhead cranes presents significant challenges due to limited ceiling clearances and substantial weights, said Stevenson.
Stevenson, in a LinkedIn post, said: “Overhead cranes pose significant challenges during installation due to limited clearances with the ceiling, and substantial weights.
“At a facility in Northwest Indiana, we successfully lifted and set a 147-foot-long structure, weighing over 100,000 pounds, onto rails.
“This structure supports a crane trolley that travels the length of the facility, facilitating the loading and unloading of trucks.”
