The implementation of the Easy Arm® transformed the workflow from a two-person struggle into a streamlined, single-operator task. The operator engages the sheet metal using the custom magnetic tooling. Once lifted, the operator utilizes the Easy Arm’s "Float Mode". This feature creates a weightless sensation, allowing the operator to guide the heavy metal deck into the press brake with fingertip precision. The integration of the Easy Arm® yielded immediate and quantifiable improvements in productivity and safety. Production surged from 3 decks per hour to 15-20 decks per hour—a 500% increase. The time required to complete three bends dropped from six minutes to two minutes and operator fatigue was virtually eliminated.

Three Easy Arm® units were outfitted in their manufacturing facility and have been operating for two years. Now operators move loads into tight machining spaces without straining themselves. Mountain Power managers and operators alike are impressed by the intuitive nature of using the Easy Arm® and the minimal amount of force needed to move loads. As operators gained experience using the Easy Arm®, it became clear that it was having a positive effect on their mood as well as productivity.

Graco is one of the world's leading suppliers of fluid management products and packages. About three years ago, they opened a new manufacturing facility in Dayton, Minnesota. As this location gained momentum, they decided to upgrade their machine and tool area. It was critical that any material handling solution be properly sized and installed from the start, especially because they were not making any structural changes.

Installation of the crane and hoist allowed the facility to move engines without the bulky forklift. The system allows for more precise positioning. This precision allows workers to maximize the number of cores shipped per load.

Powerful reliable light crane systems, crane components, and drives are our core competence. As one of the world's leading manufacturers, we have been offering our customers a comprehensive portfolio of solutions for their material flow and logistics needs for more than 200 years – enabling them to achieve the highest levels of efficiency and performance.

 A 420,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility sits on a 25-acre site that centers on the movement of aerospace parts and structures via tooling carts, forklifts and bridge cranes. Material handling equipment was required in a new building to lift lightweight spacecraft structures, weighing under 1,000 lbs. Hansen knew who to call — Dave Spears, Regional Manager — West at CraneTech. 

Southeast Crane & Hoist installed the overhead lifting equipment in the new no-bake foundry, where casting takes place using chemical binders to bond molding sand. The cranes are used for various material handling operations related to side floor molding for lower volume and large castings. Southeast Crane & Hoist is the only overhead lifting company that has installed overhead lifting equipment in Tyler Union Foundry’s operation.Justin Glass, Territory Sales Manager at Southeast Crane & Hoist, LLC, said: “We have a good relationship with the end user. The application is centered on supply of cranes of varying capacities, each for a different type of side floor molding process.”

ASC was presented with the material handling challenge when sales of its ovens increased.Demaio said: “In an effort to keep our shipping dates, we expanded and added another building, which required more overhead cranes. Previously, all of our production builds were being achieved in our two existing buildings that are at capacity.”Specht Industries was asked to design a 30-ton structure with three 5-ton capacity bridge cranes and a single 30-ton capacity bridge crane, with two 15-ton capacity hoists.Joe Specht, President and Owner at Specht Industries, said: “We overcame a 16-inch elevation slope within the facility, and larger-than-normal footings to meet seismic survey requirements. The customer needed to get the design, engineering, and the long lead time items within a two-monthperiod.”

Multi/Cable Corporation is a leading manufacturer of multi-conductor cable specializing in custom constructions, short runs, and quick turnarounds.

Founded in 1990, Stellar is a manufacturer of work trucks, trailers, and accessories. They have grown to be an international presence in their industry with multiple locations.

When an automotive recycler was expanding their facility, they turned to the products that have already worked for them in other areas of the business – Gorbel® Workstation Cranes and GS Series Hoists.

AeroCision has been a parts manufacturer for the commercial, military, business jet, turbine, and space industries for over 60 years. They needed to replace their facility’s hoist because it was awkward to use, inefficient, and nearing its lifting capacity for some materials.
