THE PROJECT Engineered Systems Engineered Systems has installed R&M Cranes and hoists at a new facility.


n The two new production lines run 300ft and will be used exclusively to make profile cranes.

r The R&M lines will add to the existing three lines already in place at the facility.


ngineered Systems – a full-service crane and hoist provider – looked no further than its manufacturing partner, R&M Materials


Handling, when it required new lifting equipment to facilitate increased capacity for crane building at a new site located in Duncan, South Carolina. The two new production lines – that add to the


existing three lines – run 300ft and will be used exclusively to make profile cranes. The crane support structure, box girder cranes and V-girders will be produced at one of Engineered Systems’ other facilities. Engineered Systems needed a solution that gave them the best headroom in the industry. It was also interested in bringing in the most advanced monitoring technology and remote connectivity


to give it the biggest return on investment possible. Brian Payne, vice president of sales at Engineered


Systems, says: “We have modernised an existing building on this property to fit our production needs. Our biggest challenge was the roof height of the building and the resulting headroom issues. “We had very similar challenges with our last


two expansions,” adds Payne. “Like everyone else installing overhead cranes, we are considering capacity, headroom and price.” Engineered Systems selected standard R&M Spacemaster SX crane kits. Payne points to the range’s “excellent headroom”, which was a driving factor in the selection, although the hoist monitoring and remote access, plus other features, were also important considerations.
