About our Bridge Cranes
With this project, we designed and fabricated (4) cranes, installed in (3) separate runways. Building #1 was where the 30 and the 50/7.5 ton cranes ran on a 160′ runway. Both were Top Running Double Girder cranes, manufactured using a box birder style bridge with EMH hoists. Building #2 featured our 10ton Top Running Single Girder crane, with a traditional wide flange beam for a bridge, and a 20ton Top running Double Girder crane, with a box girder bridge; both running an existing runway system and used WorldSeries hoists.

Also with this Project…In building #3 we had our 20/5Ton Gantry crane. This crane was designed to move products before and after paint booth operations.

All (4) cranes were manufactured and installed by Vigo Machine Shop. See below for more details about these cranes.
