G. W. Becker, a US-headquartered manufacturer, has completed the installation of a 15t double girder overhead crane as part of a 12-crane project for an indoor facility.
The crane, designed for moderate service in line with CMAA Class C specifications, features a 40ft span and a 20ft lift.
It is operated via radio remote control, with a backup pendant included for redundancy, and utilises an energy track cable system.
The equipment’s mechanical construction features a box girder bridge and motorised hook block rotation.
Its electrical components include a NEMA 12 air-conditioned enclosure, variable frequency drive controls for both bridge and trolley movement, and flux vector controls for the hoist.
Safety features integrated into the crane comprise motion-activated audible warnings for the bridge and trolley sections, two LED status lights, and four red LED drop zone lights.
G. W. Becker stated that its cranes are manufactured according to CMAA Specifications (Classes A through F) or AIST Technical Report #6, tailored to client requirements or preferences, and conform to ANSI, NEC, and OSHA regulations.
The company supplies a range of crane types such as single girder, packaged, automated, jib, gantry, patented track, and workstation cranes.
These cranes are intended to address various lifting needs and operational criteria. Both pre-engineered standard systems and custom-built solutions are available.
