A Complete Guide to Crane Packages
Package Benefits
R&M is committed to helping facility managers rise above the competition with lifting equipment that improves performance and optimizes throughput. Our modular crane packages provide all the components you need and work together as a complete system. Why use a modular crane package? You’re getting a complete system, configured for your exact application.
We have been a leader in material handling innovation since 1929, setting standards with our cutting-edge technology and providing solutions to lifting challenges across industries. With modular crane packages, you can leverage that experience. From design to installation, you can have confidence that your next project will bring the best in work efficiencies and value savings.
What Are the Advantages of Crane Packages?
Lower Cost
When you purchase a crane package, you gain unmatched energy and space savings, especially in new construction. R&M’s modular crane packages save on building and lifetime energy costs by optimizing headroom, reducing empty ceiling space and increasing hook coverage over your factory floor.
Faster Installation
Our most commonly used products are designed to your order and built in our Springfield, Ohio factory for quicker delivery to our experienced crane builders throughout North and South America. What does that mean for you, the facility manager? Quicker installation, nimble communication, and fewer opportunities for installation to be delayed.
Never Start From Scratch
R&M’s Core of Lifting components are built in house, which allows us to fine tune their functionality for lifting applications. Our broad product offering features innovative, application-specific features, bringing you a level of customization and lifetime value that you can’t get by purchasing commercially available components. And because we’ve created these packages, you get a customized lifting solution without paying the premium for one-off engineering.
How Do Crane Packages Lead to Easier Installs?
At R&M, we take pre-designed products and configure them in a modular way to cover applications and environments across the market, such as automotive, mining or general manufacturing. With cranes tailored to your specific requirements, you can be sure that your facility will rise above any challenges.
Our in-house engineering and testing processes ensure a smooth installation and commissioning of your new crane. All components are built together and then pre-tested before shipping to our crane builder, reducing build time at the crane builder’s facility. That means the crane reaches your facility faster, with more accurate lead times, and with simpler installation and commissioning.
How Do Modular Crane Packages Drive Savings and Efficiency?
As we mentioned, modular crane packages save you on energy and building costs. Designing the crane as a complete system allows for optimization that saves space and maximizes your crane’s footprint on the work floor.
Using a modular package to your advantage from the start allows you to reap the most benefits. For instance, starting out with your crane design needs in mind before your building is built allows you to maximize space and energy efficiency. Timing the installation of your crane before building completion can also provide cost savings on your overall construction costs.
After Installation – Our Commitment to You
Once your crane package is installed and commissioned, you will have access to after-market service through your crane builder or crane service provider. R&M’s robust network of crane builders provides you easy access to experienced crane technicians in your local area, coupled with the largest warehouse of crane parts in the Americas.
At R&M Materials Handling, we are equally committed to our product legacy as we are to innovation. We continue to support parts and service knowledge for our previous product lines from the 1920s to today.
