True vertical lift is when the hook of the hoist (lower block) moves in a true vertical path between the lower limit of travel and the upper limit of travel. This happens when the rope(s), anchored at each end of the drum, winds from the center of the drum outward (inward when raising the hook); enabling the hook and load to be centered below the middle of the drum. This design prevents the hook from wandering from one end of the drum to the other in the highest and lowest hook position.

Our revolutionary Nuclear Rated Telescoping Jib Crane will enable you to perform additional outage tasks to save significant time and money. Advanced features such as four (4) ranges of motion allow for better perimeter hook coverage and more precise material placement. As a result, the Telescoping Jib Crane can outperform the polar crane; and it’s also an ideal choice for servicing it.
The Telescoping Jib Crane‘s capabilities include an 11,000 lb capacity, 360 degree rotation, and variable speed control. In addition, its modular design allows installation in existing facilities.
Call us today and let American Crane’s experienced staff assist you with planning, installation, and start up. In most cases, the crane will pay for itself in just one outage!

A Stacker Crane is similar to a bridge crane, except the hoist is replaced with a telescoping mast which is suspended from the bridge trolley. The mast is equipped with a load handling device such as single or double forks or a grab. Stacker Cranes can be manually operated or powered and can span multiple aisles (such as in a warehouse, etc) for easy retrieval of stored components and/or parts.
REASONS TO UPGRADE:
Older controls on cranes and equipment are at a higher risk for failure. Retrofits and upgrades can reduce breakdowns, increase reliability and improve safety by reducing the risk of costly accidents and OSHA violations. In addition, extending the life of existing equipment can be done at a fraction of the cost of new equipment.
HOW WE CAN HELP:
American Crane and Equipment’s highly experienced technical staff will evaluate the current condition of your equipment with the goal of increasing operating reliability and improving equipment safety. We will provide you with a detailed Condition Report outlining all deficiencies, concerns, and OSHA violations. Next, a proposal and cost estimate will be prepared describing all proposed changes. Upon agreement regarding the work-scope, an implementation plan will be developed stating how the work will be completed. After the completion of the work, American Crane will fully test and re-certify the crane.
American Crane has designed and manufactured numerous cranes and hoists for hazardous areas. Hazardous locations are those in which fire or explosion dangers exist, due to flammable liquids, vapors or gases, or combustible dust or fibers.Our Explosion Proof Equipment can be constructed and erected to offer protection in areas where flammable substances (gas, vapor, mist or dust) and ignition sources (spark or thermal) are present.
Equipment is available for the following area classifications:
- Class I (Gas & Vapors), Division 1, Groups C and D
- Class I (Gas & Vapors), Division 2, Groups B, C and D
- Class II (Combustible Dusts), Division 1, Groups E, F and G
- Class II (Combustible Dusts), Division 2, Groups F and G
Some examples of Explosion Proof Equipment found on Explosion Proof Cranes would include Spark Resistant Air Hoists, Spark Resistant Hand Chain Hoists, Explosion Proof Enclosures, etc. Components may also contain Bronze Hooks & Trolley Wheels, Aluminum Hand Chain on Geared Trolley Models, and Stainless Steel Wire Rope.
