Manual Gantry Crane for Plastic Manufacturing Company

Our client is from a high-precision plastic products manufacturing company, which heavily invests in technology and equipment and believes in precisely controlled processes. These processes are organizationally thin and lean, which helps the company to keep costs down and produce quality products as demand consistently increases.

Considering the expense of the new facility and its production machinery, the customer knew they needed a system that would be cost-effective, portable, and versatile to meet the demands of their lean manufacturing process. They eventually reached out to us DQCRANES, we recommended a Manual Gantry Crane with adjustable height and span for flexibility and to meet the demands of multiple parts of their production process. The gantry crane is cost-effective and ergonomic, and it can be easily moved under load with one worker.

The company purchased a 2-ton A-Series Gantry Crane, which they use throughout their facility—as needed. The crane’s adjustability allows workers to use it in a variety of workstations, and its manual design coincides with their environmental concerns and clean manufacturing practices.

Workers at the new facility are pleased with the gantry crane’s maneuverability and overall versatility. Lifting and transporting products is easy and effective, and workers are able to perform routine maintenance on the machine without interfering with other parts of their production process. The system has empowered workers to move products and materials safely and effectively, help to increase the productivity.
