\u201cJust think of big car crushers, and that\u2019s the type of thing we have to lift on a daily basis,\u201d says Lonnie Leeman, Harris\u2019 Director of Manufacturing. That\u2019s exactly why they purchased Spanco Retrofit Drive Kits to upgrade existing manual freestanding jib cranes.<\/p>\n
According to Leeman, Harris Waste Management uses jib cranes in its large parts inventories at both distributor sites and manufacturing plants to aid in the production process, which often includes lifting fuel plates up to 16 inches thick and moving steel welding joints in excess of 50 tons. Although they began purchasing and using cranes in 1992 to increase efficiency and safety in their production process, Leeman says that employees used to work outside with crawler cranes. Now, jib cranes have greatly improved the ergonomics of their working environment and their overall production process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-1556","case_study","type-case_study","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
