A metal finishing plant in central Indiana was the scene of a catastrophic runway failure. When our emergency service technicians arrived, the bridge and spreader bar was hanging precariously over caustic dipping vats. One of the runways had broken loose and fallen. Caustic environments tend to increase the chances of equipment failure. A Runway survey, as part of a regular preventive inspection, could have possibly prevented this failure.

We are thrilled to announce that CraneWerks has once again been honored with the Distributor Excellence Award from Harrington Hoists. This marks the seventh time we have received this prestigious award, highlighting our rapid and expansive growth within the industry.
