These cranes often make production more efficient and reduce long term costs if they are developed specifically for your application. North American Industries has expertise designing and manufacturing cranes for in a wide variety of industries and applications. We also engineer and build each crane to specifications provided rather than try to fit a pre-built crane into your unique situation. As a result, we are the perfect overhead crane company to choose if you need a process crane.
Because process cranes are used frequently (a high duty cycle), they must also be durable and well built. North American Industries manufactures Class D cranes which are designed to make twice as many lifts in an hour and lift the full rated load 30% more often than a moderate-duty Class "C" crane. Given the same duty cycle, a Class “D” crane will last twice as long, which translates to decades of safe, reliable service.
Example of a Process Crane
A hot metal application required a crane system designed and built by North American Industries with three hoists and three trolleys running on a complex curved “S”-beam monorail.
The hoists on this system carry ladles and the monorail is designed to enable the ladles to receive hot metal from furnaces in order to deliver the hot metal to automatic pouring lines. There are two switches and two index bridges as part of the monorail system to maneuver the ladles into the right position. The index bridges side shift 30 inches and the switches allow the trolleys and their hoists to go either straight or on curve, depending on the operational requirements.
