With the growing demand for granite, marble, and stone, this industry has expanded and so has the need for efficient stone processing. We were recently contacted by a stone industry customer who faced a variety of challenges in his workspace.
This customer’s stone storage space is an older building with lower ceilings, reduced by the forklift aisles. The customer needed to pick up 6’ slabs and move them over all the other slabs stored in the room.
To remove the need for a forklift, we designed crane system with ceiling mounted bridge crane and chain hoist. The crane could move throughout the space to pick up a slab. We worked with this customer to determine the best location for the lifting system. It’s true that often ceiling obstructions must be removed. But a suitable light crane fit the system around and in the existing space.
