RMH Systems has carried out load testing of a new 5t underhung crane for the City of Altoona, Iowa, as part of its commissioning process.
The US-based company conducted the test before the crane began regular operations at the facility.
Officials observed this step to confirm that the overhead crane meets operational and safety requirements.
Verifying the system’s performance through load testing is a standard procedure before any newly installed lifting equipment enters service.
RMH Systems, headquartered in Waukee, Iowa, managed the installation and testing of the crane.
The company delivers industrial and warehouse solutions and operates throughout Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, Kansas, and Minnesota.
RMH Systems supplies material handling equipment, industrial scales, and packaging systems to diverse industries, relying on an in-house team for engineering and system integration.
The firm remains privately held and is established as a distributor in the Midwest.
The load test undertaken in Altoona reflects a process where new crane systems are examined for safety and functionality prior to use.
RMH continues to work with clients to implement and maintain such equipment across the region.
Last year, RMH Systems completed a retrofit project in Utah intended to lower forklift traffic between the production palletising area and the cold storage facility.
The project focused on reducing traffic and improving pallet staging to enhance safety within the processing plant.
RMH Systems supplied the conveyor line, designed custom adjustable pallet entry guides, installed the controls, and trained site personnel.
