TC/American Manufacturing *NEW 5 Ton TOP RUNNING UNDER-HUNG CRANE*

TC/American's Manufacturing Division just installed a new 5 Ton top running under-hung crane. This crane will allow for an additional manufacturing station which will increase shop throughput and manufacturing efficiency. This Crane is composed of 9'-6" top running end trucks, and a TC/American 325 Series bridge rail model number 3RH34-130 which spans 75'-1". festoon power to the hoist, and a flying pendant on an independent festoon track.

When this 73,700 square foot facility was purchased by TC/American it was being used as an old rail house. It had a complete top running crane system throughout the facility which complimented the manufacturing requirements needed by TC/American's Manufacturing Division.

Over the years TC/American has added top running under-hung cranes similar to this one in order to increase their production capabilities. This is another example of how to incorporate a Patented Track system into a facility which was originally designed for top running cranes.

The 5 Ton TC/American hoist carrier utilizes a 3MT9-10000-B motorized trolley. This trolley has a travel speed of 100 feet per minute, and a Class C duty cycle rating. The carrier is engineered specifically for the hoist shown.
