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.”
