Demag workstation crane supports larger diameter pipe handling while maximizing floor spacePennsylvania Crane, Hoist, and Rigging Company (PA Crane Co.) installed a KBK ceiling-mounted overhead workstation crane from Demag Cranes & Components Corp. at Omega Flex, Inc., to support the handling of larger-diameter pipe at its Exton, Pennsylvania facility.The CompanyOmega Flex, Inc. was established in 1975 and is a leading innovator and manufacturer of flexible metal hose and piping products. Typical applications for its products include flexible piping for fuel gases in residential and commercial construction, semi rigid piping for liquid fuels for automotive, marina and back-up generation, flexible tubing for medical, healthcare facilities, pharmaceutical and pure gases, and flexible hoses for various industrial applications requiring a high degree of flexibility with the ability to carry corrosive substances at cryogenic or very high temperatures. Omega Flex currently has over 100 patents registered worldwide and is a product and engineering driven company committed to meeting its customers’ performance requirements.At its primary manufacturing site in Exton, Pennsylvania, the company already operated multiple cranes. However, the introduction of larger-diameter pipe created the need for an additional material handling solution. Brian Breitinger, Engineering Manager at Omega Flex, has overseen material handling installations at the company for nearly two decades.The RequirementTo support its corrugation process for industrial pipe ranging from 6 to 16 inches in diameter, Omega Flex required a new material handling solution that could safely accommodate increased loads while maintaining production efficiency.The corrugation process transforms smooth metal tubing into a flexible structure capable of absorbing movement and handling pressure. As pipe length increased, so did its weight, making efficient and reliable lifting critical to maintaining cycle time.The installation environment presented additional challenges. The facility featured ceiling-supporting steel with a compound pitch in two directions, requiring a solution that would integrate seamlessly without compromising available floor space.Breitinger and his engineering team worked closely with PA Crane Co. to develop a solution that met both structural and operational requirements.The SolutionDemag’s KBK ceiling-mounted overhead workstation crane was selected to meet Omega Flex’s material handling needs while maximizing available workspace. The KBK crane system’s articulating suspension hangers were able to fit to the roof’s slope during installation because the threaded rods that attach them to the ceiling allow for adjustment and fine tuning.Ryan Galer, Light Lifting Regional Sales Manager for the Northeast Region at Demag Cranes & Components Corp., explained that the roof sloped down from one end of the runway to the other, and also sloped across the span of the crane. “We accommodated this by using our articulating suspension hangers with threaded suspension rods of various lengths,” he said.The installation includes 100 feet of runway across three bridges, 20-foot spans, and a 16-foot height of lift. Each KBK bridge is equipped with a two-speed, 500-lb. capacity Demag electric chain hoist, providing precise load control and reliable performance for corrugation operations. The system utilizes Demag DC-Com electric chain hoists, selected for their reliability, control precision, and suitability for light lifting applications.PA Crane Co. evaluated multiple configuration options before recommending the ceiling-mounted solution, which offered the most flexibility for corrugation operations while preserving valuable floor space.“We couldn’t be doing what we are in the corrugation or manufacturing process without this crane,” Breitinger said.Special Features and BenefitsDemag’s KBK ceiling-mounted overhead workstation crane had to deliver low rolling resistance for easier and more ergonomic movement of the load, which would supersede existing material handling installations that didn’t offer the required manual bridge movement, for example. As explored, articulating hangers had to help prevent binding of the bridge, while reliable, cost-efficient hoisting was in the hands of the Demag DC-Com, designed to easily integrate with KBK workstation cranes.Notably, Omega Flex was initially considering an alternative motorized system, before George Hoagland, PA Crane Co.’s Lead Technician for the project, suggested the manual KBK system.Hoagland said: “The industry-leading ergonomic features of the Demag KBK system allowed us to offer a manual system, which also represented a cost-effective and easy-to-install solution, since there aren’t any expensive motors or controls involved. The system checked all the boxes for ease of bridge movement, while many competitors would have recommended motorizing their bridges at such spans and capacities. Due to the nature of their design, such bridges are heavier, and their trolleys have the tendency to bind, so manual bridge movement becomes much less feasible.”He added: “Demag’s KBK design engineer, Matthew Hoffman, was absolutely integral to making this solution possible with his hard work and efforts.”The KBK product allows unrivalled ease of manual bridge movement, where others wouldn’t consider it possible.The Demag PartnerThis latest installation takes PA Crane Co.’s total number of crane installations at Omega Flex to five. The KBK crane system was fully operational by the end of December 2025.In addition to ceiling-mounted overhead workstation cranes, PA Crane Co. delivers a broad range of overhead lifting and rigging solutions, including underhung bridge cranes, stacker cranes, hot metal ladle cranes, and jib cranes. The company also provides operator training programs to support safe and efficient crane use.“We started using them a couple of years back; they’ve put in a number of cranes recently,” Breitinger said. “We’ve had no issues with any of these - sourcing or installation processes.”As Omega Flex continues to expand, particularly at its Houston, Texas facility, additional crane installations are anticipated.PA Crane Co. is a full-service crane provider, including top-running and mobile cranes, in addition to offering industry operators and riggers that deliver around-the-clock expertise. It is responsible for 6,000 tons in capacity of land-based solutions for clients, plus related engineering, installation, and certification / testing.ContactAshlee ShumanMarketing Manager, Demag Cranes & Components Corpashlee.shuman@rmhoist.com+ 1 937 525 5140demagcranes.us

How OMi Crane Systems works with NORD DRIVESYSTEMS to keep manufacturing moving. For OMi Cranes and its customers alike, having a reliable drive system supplier isn’t just about convenience, it’s about keeping material moving efficiently and without fail.Whether it’s moving a coil of sheet steel to a stamping line or setting a massive cast iron forging onto the bed of a CNC boring mill, manufacturers depend on cranes, trolleys, and hoists to lift and transport heavy objects. This is the job of OMi Crane Systems, a company that’s been designing, building, and servicing industrial lifting systems since 1969.Founded in Dallas, Texas, the manufacturer has long since moved to nearby Royse City, where it now boasts a 76,000-square-foot manufacturing facility, more than 100 skilled employees, and a support network that includes three full-service branches in Houston, Dallas, and Alabama, along with satellite service teams operating out of Florida and Ohio.OMi sells many of its cranes to companies in its home state, but as Vice President of Operations Brandon Rue proudly points out, the manufacturer has customers in New York, Washington, Ohio, and many places in between. “We ship all over the country,” he says.Unlike companies focused on ports or marine work, OMi specializes in indoor overhead cranes—mainly electric overhead traveling cranes that operate inside steel warehouses, coil handling plants, and metal fabrication facilities. Its products aren't mass-produced, however. “Everything we make is engineered to order,” Rue explains. “That’s because every facility is different, and every customer calls for different lifting capacities, travel speeds, duty cycles, and so on. That said, probably 95% of the gearmotors on our heavyduty OEM components come from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS.”Tightly FocusedIt’s a relationship that spans more than 25 years. At first, OMi began using NORD gearboxes and motors on a fairly selective basis, but the partnership deepened around 2011 when OMi started building its own hoists. That move called for bigger gearboxes and more horsepower—and it made ready-made drive solutions even more critical. NORD provides a complete, preassembled unit that fits neatly into OMi's production flow.“We didn’t start using NORD almost exclusively until we started offering a complete hoist that we build inhouse," Rue says. “A lot of suppliers in this industry will make a gearbox and then put a motor on it, and sometimes vice-versa, but not only does that slow everything down, it also makes it harder to get parts. We didn't want to go that route, so we decided to standardize on NORD gearmotors—motor, brake, and gearbox—roughly 15 years ago. Since then, we’ve found that using pre-engineered drive units directly from the catalog makes it easy to customize to our customers’ needs, which is where we differentiate ourselves from the competition.”At its core, OMi specializes in the design and manufacturing of electric overhead traveling cranes. Unlike many suppliers that offer off-the-shelf systems, OMi takes a customized approach, tailoring every crane to the exact specifications of the building and the application it serves. "Yes, there are similarities between jobs and customers, but every crane fits a specific building layout and a specific application, so the ability to optimize each one is hugely important."Most of OMi’s cranes are designed for indoor environments such as manufacturing plants and coil handling facilities. While the company can also produce outdoor gantry cranes, its primary focus remains on precision indoor lifting, with steel processing and warehousing centers representing its largest market share.The demands of these industries are unique. Steel coils, for example, can weigh tens of thousands of pounds, and facilities often run 24/7 operations where a stalled crane can halt production. Many of OMi's customers require cranes that not only lift heavy loads but also perform a high number of cycles each day without overheating or wearing down prematurely. That makes the engineering behind each crane and its components critical to long-term reliability.One of the standard and most requested options on an OMi crane is the company’s “built-up hoist and trolley” system. As Rue explains, these assemblies are often the most customized and technically demanding parts of the crane. “The hoist does all the work, which is why we’ll often use one of the bigger NORD units, such as the SK 10 with a hundred horsepower motor.”Customization ConundrumThis broad horsepower range—from half-horsepower travel motors to the 100-horsepower hoist drive just mentioned—gives OMi the ability to spec out each crane's lifting capacity exactly to the application. Yet speed is also crucial. In high-throughput environments like coil warehousing, even minor differences can significantly impact production, which is why it’s not uncommon for customers to request lifting speeds tailored to the flow of their assembly lines or staging areas, where even seconds shaved off a cycle can add up to meaningful gains over time.“We cater the hoist to our customers’ needs, "Rue says. " For instance, a couple of feet a minute on a hoist, when spread out over several days or a week, makes a big difference in the number of picks they can make. So, if they want the hoist to go 21 feet per minute instead of 19 feet per minute, we make it go 21.”As any manufacturer knows, delivering this level of customization day after day can be expensive. Piecing together motors and gearboxes from different vendors wasn’t an option for a company focused on delivering made-to-order systems at scale. Eliminating assembly steps inside OMi’s factory also reduces risk during final crane assembly, since every matched set arrives from NORD already configured for integration.“To remain competitive, we need to build a crane as quickly and efficiently as we can,” Rue says. “Ease of manufacturing played a big role in our decision to partner with NORD.”Using standardized components also helped to streamline OMi’s engineering process. The company’s design team can size and select drives from NORD’s catalog without relying heavily on external technical support, and they routinely use myNORD online customer tools to quote units, download 3D models, and generate drawings directly compatible with OMi’s internal CAD libraries. “We size it, we pull the drawings, and we drop it into our models,” Rue explains. “It’s simple and it saves a lot of back and forth.”Prove It!Several recent projects show the scale of their partnership. One job in Bowling Green, Kentucky, required eight cranes and 56 NORD units, with motor ratings from three to 100 horsepower. Another in nearby Brandenburg involved 16 cranes and 110 NORD gear motors across six bays, while a third—this one supporting an aluminum processor—used five cranes and 50 NORD units.Each facility came with its unique challenges. In Bowling Green, for example, OMi built the cranes for a completely automated coil handling system where cranes communicate with the facility’s ERP software to manage inventory movements without human input. In Brandenburg, the facility required high-speed coil stacking capabilities and extremely high service levels able to withstand the company’s continuous operation. And the aluminum processor project, though smaller, demanded precision movement with fine load control to protect delicate material during handling.In every case, OMi designed each crane to fit the customer's plant layout, throughput needs, and uptime goals. "If a customer loses a motor or gearbox, NORD can usually get us a replacement very quickly, sometimes within a day or two,” Rue says. The service side has been just as strong. “With some vendors, we might have to call several times before we can get somebody on the line,” he adds. “With NORD, we don’t have that problem. Even when our primary contact is unavailable, we quickly get routed to someone who can help, avoiding costly downtime.”OMi has never had to use NORD’s 911 emergency breakdown hotline despite running a high volume of the company's products over many years. Instead, their engineers work independently, sizing components, pulling drawings, and submitting orders directly through myNORD, NORD’s online customer portal, without having to stop and make phone calls to sales or technical support.If a crane goes down, production can grind to a halt, Rue concludes. For OMi Cranes and its customers alike, having a reliable drive system supplier isn’t just about convenience—it’s about keeping material moving efficiently and without fail. “We’ve enjoyed very steady growth over the years. I attribute most of this to our employees—our engineering team, the sales and quoting people, and our team on the production floor. That said, NORD deserves at least some of the credit. They’ve been great to work with and have an equally solid product line. We’re quite pleased with the partnership.”Learn more at www.nord.comAbout NORD DRIVESYSTEMS® GroupWith more than 4,900 employees, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS has been developing, producing, and selling drive technology for over 50 years, and it is a global leader among full-service providers in the industry.

A leading manufacturer of mobile cranes operates a 58,000 square foot manufacturing facility in southeastern Pennsylvania. Assembly of the large cranes takes place in an individual building that is outfitted with large 30 Ton overhead cranes. The large mobile cranes are assembled as they move on a conveyor system through different staging areas. Each staging area serves as a sub-assembly for a different part. Originally, a large freestanding I-beam workstation crane was considered. The solution became problematic because it interfered with the overhead crane. The solution, six, One Ton capacity wall Mounted Cantilever Jib Cranes.

A regional provider of truck transmission, rear differentials and steering components was building a new facility for their transmission assembly. With several existing buildings and a variety of applications, the company had experience with several overhead lifting solutions. In other buildings workers were using and I-Beam crane to move transmission that weigh from 100-1000 lbs. in a final testing area. “It was wearing our people down”, said the Production Manager. “They were too much effort.”

One of the largest precast concrete companies in the U.S., Tindall Corporation purchased an existing plant in San Antonio, TX. The company wanted maximum lifting flexibility to accommodate future products. Because the states were high and time short, Tindall requested a turnkey bid including a fabricated steel runway from the crane manufacturer. The situation was a perfect fit for Konecranes new PD Process Duty Trolley. Designed to meet or exceed North American specifications, the PD Trolley is a heavy-duty custom hoist solution available at a less-expensive, pre-engineered price. The first crane ordered was a 40-ton bridge crane with a 107’8” span equipped with two 20 –ton PD Trolleys.

Why is overhead crane and hoist inspection important?Crane inspection and maintenance are essential to safe equipment operation. Operator safety can be improved and operator injury can be avoided if the equipment is properly inspected and maintained. In addition, manufacturing productivity can also be improved with scheduled maintenance to maintain proper equipment functionality and to help avert breakdown repairs. Failure to complete overhead crane and hoist inspections and proper equipment maintenance could lead to serious injury, death or destruction of property.
