US-based Superior Crane Corporation (SCC) is carrying out precision pre-turning on a 75t hoist drum that will be used in a 75ft span, Class D, top-running, double-girder overhead crane.
The crane will include a 75t trolley and dual 37.5t hooks operating from a common drum. This arrangement is intended to support synchronised lifting and load control.
SCC said: “This configuration is engineered to deliver synchronised lifting performance, enhanced load control, and maximum operational efficiency.”
The system will also use controls from Hubbell and ABB and a gearcase from NORD Gear.
The company carried out the design and manufacture of the lifting systems from initial stage through production for use in demanding operating conditions.
SCC added: “From concept through completion, we design and manufacture lifting solutions built to perform in the toughest conditions.”
SCC is a design, engineering and manufacturing company focused on overhead material handling equipment and machining.
It manufactures overhead cranes ranging from standard models to custom-built systems for different lifting requirements.
The company’s engineering division handles custom design work, while production takes place in-house.
SCC also supplies hoists, crane parts and complete crane systems in various capacities, and products from brands including R&M, Columbus McKinnon and Magnetek.
Last month, SCC started installing 16 cranes and associated runways for a client as the first stage of a larger project. The company’s service team begun work on site and carried out further installation activity in the coming period.
The project required coordination between service crews, production teams and office staff to prepare the cranes and organise logistics.
