bridge crane manufacturers who will repond?
i am currently putting an rfq together for a bridge crane in a petrochem facilty. does anyone have suggestions for manufacturers that could supply a 10 to 18 ton bridge crane? i need someone who can provide a top running and/or underslung crane. this would be supported off of an existing building frame. also, as an added requirement there is a need for a class 1 division 2 group b nec compliant crane... intrinsically safe in an hydrogen service area. the nec classification seems to be the sticking point with these guys... i might as well be speaking greek to them.
some of the big ones (whiting) are not very helpful. we can get answers from gaffey (
not sure about these guys and the nec requirements but give the following a try.
zenar
morris material handling
kci
deshazo
ace world companies
virginia crane

try mhia.org/cmaa for more
usually in most larger cities, there a at least a few local crane dealers/representatives that work with engineers early in the design process. these dudes usually provide up front info, specs, wheel reactions, etc.
try calling some crane manufacturer's main offices (via google) and ask for local reps.
i'd try morris material handling formerly a division of harnischfeger, or any other
check out these guys. we have worked with them on a number of installation and they are very responsive.
