Engineered
Lifting Case Study
February 1, 2010
New Steel Service Center Crane Installation
Becomes “Bushman AvonTec Showcase”
Engineered Lifting Systems has just finished
the installation of three Class D 90’-0” span overhead
cranes including a 55-ton, a 30-ton, and a 10-ton capacity.
While the scope of the project and the type of equipment is
impressive to start (Class E hoist units, A-4 bridge drives
with horizontally split gearboxes, cab on trolley, and
more..), the steel service center became a showroom for
Bushman AvonTec equipment.

As these cranes are used in production, many
of the standard manual operations are motorized. The above
Bushman AvonTec 50-ton motorized coil grab is made for
batching coils from rail cars to storage, and from storage
to production. With the cab on trolley, this makes the
operation a one man operation and fast!
The Engineered Lifting System’s 30-ton crane has a 10-ton
auxiliary trolley/hoist with “main hoist cab on trolley”
which allows for removing the sheets of steel after being
“decoiled” using a motorized 25-ton capacity Bushman M5600
Sheet Lifter, and for longer sheets, the 10-ton auxiliary
helps using a Bushman 5600 manual sheet lifter.

At the time of this newsletter, the plant
was not completely up in operation yet. It is important to
note that the customer “specified” Bushman products for its
facility, based on years of Bushman products exceeding their
expectations for service and reliability.
You too can have the benefits of using Bushman AvonTec
products! If you have an application for below the hook
