Olsen Chain and Cable has installed three new R&M Materials Handling cranes at Knutson Construction Services’ facility in Waite Park, Minnesota.
The project involved the design, fabrication, and installation of one three-ton crane for the weld shop and two five-ton cranes for the high bay fleet building.
To ensure safety during maintenance on boom trucks, Gorbel Tether Track fall arrest systems were integrated with each high bay crane.
Also, the installation provides OSHA-compliant overhead fall protection and includes operator training conducted on the final day of the project.
R&M Materials Handling, in its LinkedIn post, said: “Proud to see R&M cranes supporting Knutson Construction Services’ new facility in Waite Park – nice work by Olsen Chain & Cable!”
