Bushman Equipment, Inc recently delivered two motorized rotating horizontal axis grabs to a leading manufacturer of mining equipment. The lifting devices attach to overhead traveling cranes, allowing them to lift and rotate forgings and partially machined gears and pinion shafts.
Arguably, your Below-the-Hook lifting devices can be considered the “hands” of your operation. You might have great metal processing machines, but they cannot produce your product or value-added service unless the master coils, plates, structural pieces, sheet bundles and burned/cut parts can be efficiently and safely gripped, lifted and set into and moved out of your line. This article will offer important things to consider before buying a lifting attachment, either separately or with a new overhead crane.
Bushman Equipment, Inc. recently shipped a mechanical upender (tipper) rated for 100 tons (200,000 lb). The loading and unloading platforms are 168” x 132”. The drive motor is 25 HP and is controlled by an AC flux vector variable frequency drive.
