What is a Packaged Crane?

A packaged crane from G.W. Becker is an optimized solution designed for value and efficiency, combining the reliability of proven components with the precision of custom engineering. Here’s how it works:

  • The Hoist (Pre-Engineered for Reliability): We source reliable pre-engineered hoists from top-tier manufacturers. This means the lifting mechanism is a proven, standard unit with readily available parts, ensuring lower maintenance costs and maximum uptime.
  • The Structure (The Custom Fit): This is where our expertise shines. Unlike simple distributors, we fabricate the complete custom crane superstructure in-house. This includes the girders, end trucks, and any other structurally required components, all built from scratch to perfectly match your facility’s dimensions, runway, and capacity needs.
  • The Integration & Special Features: We act as your single-source provider. We handle all electrification, controls, and any special customer requests. Whether you need specific festooning, below-hook devices, or unique control interfaces, we integrate it seamlessly into the complete packaged crane system.

In short: You get the reliability and cost-saving benefits of a standard hoist, combined with the perfect fit and durability of a crane structure built specifically for you.
