Specification Development
Developing an overhead crane & runways specification is a critical aspect of every new equipment purchase project. Often this process is omitted or overlooked, as it is a difficult and tedious task. Developing a detailed specification is the best opportunity for the most critical engineering process – avoiding problems.
At G.W. Becker, Inc., we design and manufacture our overhead cranes using standardized crane specifications from the CMAA Specification 70 (Specifications for Multiple Girder Cranes) & CMAA Specification 74 (Specifications for Single Girder Cranes).
Our knowledge is shared with you when we partner in this process.
