What we do

We have a complete crane manufacturing facility in Denver, Colorado. We can design and build light-duty economical cranes up to very large capacity high duty-cycle cranes with welded plate-box girders spanning in excess of 100'-0".

To date, we have successfully manufactured cranes to 125 tons and spans to 120 feet. We design and build in full compliance with CMAA, NEC, OSHA, MSHA and ASME. We have extensive electrical capability as well as AWS certified welders. We also maintain a complete parts and service department with trained service technicians on call 24 hours a day. All of our cranes are completely assembled and no load tested prior to shipment from our facility. Each crane is laser leveled and aligned to ensure proper operation and lasting service.

How we do it

We take full advantage of computer technology in assisting our customers. We offer a full set of custom generated AutoCAD general arrangement drawings, wiring diagrams, and wiring schematics for each crane we build. In addition, we can provide precise wheel-loading for each crane we build via a custom designed MathCAD calculation sheet. Each of our departments has individual e-mail addresses for quick distribution of drawings, specifications, or just quotes.

We recently added SolidWorks 2007 with COSMOS Finite Element Analysis to our toolkit. This allows us to offer full 3D models and finite element anlysis where required.

Our Customers

We have furnished cranes for military installations (we were required to be nuclear certified) such as the US Navy, US Air Force and the National Guard. In addition, we have provided approximately 25 cranes for Lockheed Martin and are today considered their preferred source for overhead bridge cranes and hoisting equipment in our area. We have also provided many installations for various mines and as such are very much aware of the MSHA requirements for overhead cranes. We recently completed a million-dollar project with Raytheon Engineers and Constructors for a chemical weapons disposal facility in Oregon, and have been awarded a similar project with Raytheon in Arkansas as a result of the success of the first project.

We are the leading crane supplier in the Rocky Mountain area with a reputation for high quality, top notch workmanship and excellent project management.
