Features/Benefits Provided: Implementation with current building design Lift up to 2 tons without tying up overhead crane 200° Degree Rotation Economical solution

Application Overview
A diversified engineering and custom fabrication company located in southeastern Pennsylvania operates multiple manufacturing facilities with a work force of over 200 employees. Primarily catering to the power coal industry and paper industry, the company has seen significant growth in recent years with annual sales volume exceeding 25 million dollars.

Problem
Several years ago, the plant production manager was dealing with the daily problem of bottlenecking on the production floor. Individual workstations that were set up as part of a fabrication process were becoming inefficient as coworkers had to stop working, and wait to use large capacity overhead cranes to lift anything that exceeded one man lifting regulations. At one point, as many as 20 individual fabrication jobs were being juggled with the use of only a couple of large overhead cranes.

Solution
Looking for a cost-effective solution that could be quickly implemented with the current warehouse design, the production manager contacted a local SPANCO distributor. After a brief review of the situation, the value of a SPANCO 301 Series Wall Mounted Jib Crane was recognized. The SPANCO distributor recommended the purchase of jib cranes for each workstation, allowing individual bay workers to lift and position anything up to 2 tons with 200° degrees of rotation.

Wrap-Up
The inclusion of these jib cranes allowed for an efficient production process void of bottlenecking. Over the past several years, this company has purchased and installed multiple SPANCO 301 Series Wall Mounted Jibs to accommodate their continued growth.
