Crane aids expansion

Lifting equipment manufacturer,
Demag Cranes & Components, has
installed crane systems at IAE’s
production facility in Stoke-on-
Trent. IAE manufactures agricultural
feed handling equipment, industrial
fencing and equestrian stabling at its
105,000 sq m site.

As part of a £3million investment
to meet this demand, Demag
installed a 5t SWL, 28.8m span
overhead travelling crane, equipped
with a 5t SWL Demag DR-PRO wire
rope hoist within the new building.

The crane system is used for
movement of steel between various
workstations within the flow line
production bay. The radio controlled
crane features long travel speeds of
10/40 m/min, variable cross travel
speeds of 5-30 m/min and hoisting
speeds of 6/1 m/min.
