Reason 2: BETTER CONTROL & PRECISION
Control Your Load from a Safer Position
Radio remote controls and independent traveling pushbutton pendants allow the operator of Overhead Lifting Solutions to stand away from the load. This means that the operator is further removed from danger which reduces the risk of injury, and allows for a better view. In addition, it limits the risk of accidentally maneuvering the load into other workers in the area, walls, machinery, or other obstacles.
Safe and Effortless Maneuvering
With Overhead Lifting Solutions such as bridge cranes, gantry cranes and jib cranes, 90 degree maneuvers are typical. Monorails are often relied upon to increase efficiency by easily positioning materials along a set path. American Crane and Equipment can provide you with Overhead Lifting Solutions that range from manually operated systems which carefully spot loads, to highly automated systems which maneuver with the precision of one thousandth of the rated speed to an exact location.

Reason 1: PROTECT YOUR EMPLOYEES
Employees move in and out of manufacturing facilities and shipping/receiving areas throughout a normal work day. Overhead Lifting Systems work within a specific area and limit an employee’s exposure to potential accidents caused by dangers like forklift traffic. Overhead Lifting Systems move products safely.
Reduce Costs Associated with Accidents:
Have you considered costs associated with OSHA citations, lost work time, replacement of an injured employee, medical expenses, increased workers’ compensation rates, and potential lawsuits? These issues cost employers billions of dollars each year, making the purchase of safe lifting and moving systems not just ideal, but a practical and cost saving proposition.
Ergonomic Solutions Combat Workers Compensation Claims:
According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), back injuries cost American industry 10 to 14 billion dollars in workers’ compensation costs and about 100 million work days annually. In the past, light loads were lifted manually contributing to the statistics of job related injuries due to repetitive movement, over-lifting, and uncommon body positioning. Installing a lifting and moving solution that limits the amount of manual handling by your employees is a good measure to prevent physical injury. Whether from a floor to a work bench or on and off an assembly line, handling 50 pounds or 50 tons; Overhead Lifting Solutions can be the smart choice. American Crane & Equipment Corporation can provide you with an Overhead Lifting System designed to safely and productively move your products.

Man made dams along rivers can block the migration of many species of fish to their spawning grounds upriver; most notably the American Shad, Hickory Shad and Salmon. American Crane offers specialized lift equipment designed to assist fish in the migratory process of swimming upstream to these spawning areas.
Fish lifts work by using water currents to attract the migrating fish into a channel. The equipment safely crowds the fish into a lift station for transport upstream of the dam. Specialized features are designed into each system to offer highly reliable performance in an outdoor application under all weather conditions. American Crane is proud to supply products that preserve our precious wildlife resources.
