Cranes for trains
February 1st 2011 Two overhead cranes from Street
Crane Company are playing a vital
role at Bombardier's Derby factory in
the building of new trains. The
cranes are used in the final assembly
of new Electrostar overground trains,
contributing to the safety and
productivity of the streamlined
production operations.
"Bombardier's technically
demanding specification required
highly specified factory cranes that
ensured safe, continuous and flexible
working in an extremely intensive
production environment," explained
Street Crane sales director Gus Zona.
Two identical 20t safe working
load cranes have been installed. Each
is fitted with twin ZX series 10t
hoists for assured lifting and
handling. The cranes will be used
independently during the assembly
of the trains, but are designed for
tandem operation when lifting and
moving complete train bodies. More articles from Street Crane Co Ltd: |
