Here is a 5 Ton 4-Runway double girder crane with dual center motor drives. This unit is almost ready to go, just a few more details to finish up. 
 
 

 
The bridge gauge of this crane is 14' with an over all length of 90'

 Here is the carrier that has a nestled Acco hoist mounted and is also driven by a center motor drive.

The Lowerator is almost complete, just making the final adjustments to the controls before testing.
 

3MT9-10000-B drive on the 3ET38000-8SRB end truck will be driving the Lowerator at 100 FPM with a 10:1 ratio variable frequency drive.
 Well here it is complete, tested and ready to go.

The Lowerator should be installed by the end of next week, at which time we can show you what it looks like installed.
 
 
There it goes, another successful project with an on time delivery.

"The Lowerator" Crane

The 10 Ton "Lowerator" crane is almost complete. This is a specialized piece of material handling equipment that allows for load transfer like a typical Patented Track crane, but also offers the live rail to lower and raise and connect to spur rails. This feature allows the load to transfer by means of a TC/American carrier from bay to bay. This is done using TC/A's motorized interlocking system. Here is a picture the early stages of fabrication, but stay tuned for the finished product that's scheduled for completion mid-December.
