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.

We have exciting news at TC/American, I am pleased to announce that Jim Cornish has accepted the position of General Manager of TC/American Monorail Systems. Jim Has been with TC/A since 1990, through the years he has accumulated a wealth of experience:  Serving as Purchasing Manager, Production Supervisor/Manager, and most recently as Manufacturing Director as well as Manager of the MHC plants. Prior to his career with TC/American Jim was employed with Spanmaster for 14 years where he began his career in the crane industry. Please join me in welcoming Jim to his new position.

TC/American General Manager Bill Swanson has retired as of 11-2-12. Bill will be heading north to spend time with family and to pursue new adventures. Bill has been with TC/A for over 25
years.  After serving a brief stint on the shop floor in 1980, Bill started working full time as a sales rep for American Monorail in the summer of 1987.  Through years of effort and hard work, Bill
moved up the company hierarchy to become General Manager in 2003.  Bill’s broad knowledge, expertise, and keen sense of humor will be sorely missed. Please join me in wishing Bill all the best with his future endeavors.

TC/American is featured on page 69 of this month’s issue of Modern Material Handling Magazine. They are briefly covering the versatility of our interlocking system and how it allows load transfer between bays from crane to crane or to a monorail. This allows a load to be transferred to almost any location within a facility without setting the load down. This feature increases time and safety in any facility.

Duey Holm
 
It’s official on June 14th Doey Holm has decided to retire to tropical Florida after 9 years of service to TC/American. Duey was a very respected representative in the Patented Track industry, he always went the extra mile to do everything he could to help the customer. Over the last nine years Duey has made many friends, and built many strong relationships among our dealer network. It is no doubt that he will be missed not only as a colleague, but as a friend as well. Good luck Duey in everything that you do, and don’t forget the sun screen!
