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.
