Business: Bus and small
vehicle maintenance facility
Application: Picking up and moving bus
and small vehicle components in a motor repair, and machine shop area
The Problem: Parts were heavy and it
took several people or a fork truck to move them around the shop. Worker's
safety was an issue due to the lifting and moving of these heavy parts.
Alternatives: Structural steel
I-Beams were looked into but their wear life is a great deal less than
patented track. Compatibility of components and future product
expansion were also an issue with I-Beam.
Crane Chosen: A twin loop monorail
system with 4 manual switches and 2 spur tracks, 310 linear ft. long
Lifting Device: 3
electric chain hoists
Why this product was selected: This
facility had other CT products which the workers had been very happy
with. CT was also chosen because of the long wear life of patented
tarca track and the fact that the system was easily expandable in the
future.
