Level Crane Systems has conducted load testing on the first two of seven 25t double girder bridge cranes as part of a new crane project in the US.
The cranes were delivered to the site, installed on their runways, and subjected to a full-load test to confirm that both units meet their maximum rated capacity before entering service.
Project representatives confirmed that the support structure managed the entire test load independently, with no structural modifications required to the existing building and no load transferred to the facility itself.
This approach was designed so that the crane system would rely solely on its own structure for support, according to the company.
The complete installation will comprise seven 25t bridge cranes, giving a combined lifting capacity of 175t.
The supporting framework is engineered to bear 100% of the crane loads, and the columns have been strategically placed to extend the span coverage, maximising open floor space across the production area.
The design has been aligned with the original building’s columns and provides coverage across the entire production floor, as described by the firm.
Load testing is now complete for two bridges, with five further cranes awaiting installation and testing.
Level Crane Systems is headquartered in Southern California and handles crane system installations across the US.
Founded in 2001, the company specialises in overhead bridge crane projects, and offers engineering solutions tailored to specific client needs, including custom requirements for load capacity, spanning distances, lift heights, and workflow arrangements.
Following completion of a project and relevant operator training, clients are able to manage ongoing crane maintenance themselves, through local service providers, or with authorised partners approved by the company.
Level Crane Systems states that its engineers design systems around the operational requirements of each installation.
In June 2026, Level Crane Systems integrated Gorbel Easy Arm intelligent lifting technology into the material handling processes of an aerospace company, aiming to meet specific lifting needs.
The technology is intended to assist operators in handling important components efficiently, while reducing physical strain and supporting the flow of operations on the manufacturing floor.
