<<   The steel fabrication business in all its forms is a major customer for all Street products. Heavy fabrications can require cranes with lifting capacities up to 100 tonnes and more, whilst fabrication of lighter parts may require small work-station cranes and jibs with capacities of 250kg or less. More often than not the best solutions for handling in a fabrication facility involve a range of crane and hoist types to ensure minimum operator waiting and maximum handling speeds for lighter loads. Typically larger cranes will be more efficient with auxiliary hoists or express lifting facilities and the inclusion of low level cranes beneath the main crane in the form of semi-portal, wall travelling jib or fixed jib cranes will further improve handling rates and flexibility. In many applications specialist ‘hang on hook’ devices such as magnet or vacuum lifters will improve productivity.
