Project Description:
G.W. Becker, Inc. commissioned a new 40/15 ton 4-motion heavy service electric overhead traveling crane for a manufacturer of titanium based metal products in Ohio. This new EOT crane replaced an antiquated unit which was utilized in the customer’s Z-Mill department.  This EOT crane was designed to be installed on an existing runway system of 60” span and 30’ of lift.  The hoists, designed for true-vertical lift, included flux vector control specifically designed for a hoist without a mechanical load brake. The travel drives were designed with infinitely variable control and offer state of the art precision handling for extremely smooth control and minimal maintenance.  A long-term plan was established for replacement of several units in the plant, utilizing duplicate componentry, resulting in reduced capital outlay of spare parts.  This turnkey project included the new EOT crane, runway electrification, delivery, installation and commissioning to meet all current applicable CMAA, OSHA, ANSI/ASME, and NEC specifications.
