Tri-State Overhead Crane has begun transporting a 20t lifting system following a three-day loading process.

The equipment, delivered using multiple trailers, comprises a 125ft freestanding runway and a double-girder bridge crane with a 41ft span.

The project includes two 20t hoists manufactured by R&M Materials Handling, along with Magnetek Flex EX tandem radio controls and a laser-based collision avoidance mechanism.

The Magnetek Flex EX radio controls offer multiple button configurations suitable for material handling applications in industrial environments.

The company said: “It took three days and multiple trailers, but this complete 20t lifting solution is officially on the move!

“Our team handled the entire package, from the 125ft freestanding runway system to the 41ft span double girder bridge crane.”

Tri-State Overhead Crane, based in St. Louis, Missouri, oversees the design, manufacturing, installation and maintenance of overhead cranes and related lifting equipment.

The company has operated as a family business since 1959 and serves customers across various sectors including manufacturing, construction and logistics.

Its product range extends to overhead bridge cranes, gantry cranes, jib cranes, monorail systems and bespoke lifting solutions.

Tri-State Overhead Crane holds master distributor status through associations with manufacturers such as CM, Demag, Harrington and Gorbel.

The firm supplies replacement parts from stock, conducts authorised repairs and provides dealer-level pricing to its customers.

Last month, the company delivered two specially engineered 5t bridge cranes after completing their design and assembly. The systems used notched, side-mounted girders to maximise overhead workspace while maintaining full lifting capacity.

Each crane was equipped with low-headroom hoists from R&M Materials Handling, Magnetek Flex EX radio controls, and safety features, including bridge-activated strobe lights and Duct-O-Wire anti-collision sensors to ensure separation during dual crane operations.
