Canadian manufacturing company Masco Crane & Hoist has installed a 5t overhead crane system at a technical college in Calgary, Alberta.

The company delivered the project end-to-end, handling everything from planning and fabrication to installation and commissioning of the lifting system.

The new crane is intended to enhance lifting operations at the educational facility.

Masco Crane & Hoist stated that its installation crew aimed to deliver a safe and reliable solution, tailored to meet the specific needs of the technical college.

The company said: “At Masco Crane & Hoist, we take pride in helping businesses across Alberta and Canada improve safety, productivity, and efficiency with custom crane solutions built to last.

“Thank you to our customer for trusting Masco with your lifting needs!”
