2 Presentation Summary Introduction to Overhead Lifting and Moving Products Present 13 reasons to use Overhead Lifting Case studies that highlight end user experiences and results We hope you leave with: A better understanding of overhead technology Some ideas on improving your operations

3 Overview of Overhead Lifting Products

4 The Overhead Alliance The Overhead Alliance is a marketing work group serving: CMAA (Crane Manufacturers Association) HMI (Hoist Manufacturers Institute) MMA (Monorail Manufacturers Association) These associations serve end users by creating design standards, safety programs, user training, and providing OSHA assistance.

10 Benefits to Overhead Lifting Presented by: Josh Arwood

11 Safety Training and Certification Do not look at training as an expense but as an investment in cost reduction.

12 Safety Training and Certification Adds Value to your organization Critical role in employee retention Certification requires continued education which insures a safer work place & educated workforce Certification is proof training has been effective

13 Safety Training and Certification Cost effective and simple Product application training insures products are specified properly and meets the demand of your application.

14 Safety Training and Certification Reduce down time and cost (cont) Inspection and repairs performed to the latest industry standard Reduces product malfunctions Increases productivity Reduces injuries

15 Efficiency and Productivity

16 Efficiency and Productivity Reduce Cost Less Maintenance Minimal Personnel Improve workflow Better Return on Investment longer life cycle (decades) increase building value can be adapted to your changing needs

17 Efficiency and Productivity Customized Solution Crane and rigging equipment can be customized to fit individual applications

18 Case Study Gantry Crane Safe and Secure Steel Bundle Unloading from Flatbed Trucks

19 Existing Application Indoor Unloading of Steel Bundles from a Flatbed Truck Depending on load size, 1 to 4 fork trucks were being utilized. Larger steel loads were time consuming to unload due to the coordination of multiple fork trucks. Larger steel loads were very unbalanced and hard to handle which made the unloading operation dangerous.

20 Overhead Lifting Solution Gantry Crane

21 Overhead Lifting Solution Gantry Crane was installed indoors on a low profile v-groove floor mounted track with a motorized traverse motion. Gantry Crane traverses the full length of the fabrication warehouse. Gantry Crane is equipped with a wire rope hoist with a below the hook lifter to safely rig up the full range of steel loads.

22 Overhead Lifting Benefits Easy installation Safe and secure unloading of steel. Safe alternative to fork trucks Provides access to entire warehouse to also move stockpiles of steel. Easily moved if end user decides to relocate to another facility.

23 Environmental Air Powered Lifts

24 Environmental A GREEN SOLUTION Hoist manufacturers incorporate many environmentally friendly features Grease lubrication in gear boxes, eliminates the need to drain or change oil.

25 Environmental RoHS Restriction of Hazardous Substances. Following 6 substances must have maximum concentration levels of: 0.1% or 1000ppm Lead Mercury (Hg) ppm Hexavelent Chromium (Cr6+) Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB) Polybrominated Dipheynl Ethers (PBDE) Cadmium (Cd)

26 Case Study Crane Forks Below the Hook Lifter

27 Efficiency and Productivity Reduces Cost Less maintenance Less downtime Less expensive to operate versus lift trucks Fork lift trucks cost $16,000 to $20, Ton Crane forks cost $ $8000

28 Efficiency and Productivity Can utilize more floor space Simplifies and speeds up repetitive lifting operations. They are a fast, direct method of attachment. Customized to fit applications

29 Environmental Does not consume power to operate All-steel unit is completely recyclable

30 Safety Better Lines of Sight

31 Technology The Latest Technology Radio Remote Controls Overload Limiting Devices Ergonomic Controls Material Advancements Anti-Collision Systems

32 Case Study: Steel Industry Customer Collision Avoidance Systems

33 Collision Avoidance Systems Prevent Operator Error: Prevent crane-to-crane collisions Prevent crane-to-structure collisions Prevent crane-to-object collisions

34 Collision Avoidance Systems SENSOR TYPES Laser and Infrared Radio Based BENEFITS Continuous monitoring and primary signal not affected by electrical noise. Good for dust, dirt, vibration, extreme weather conditions/temperatures

35 Collision Avoidance Systems Crane Structure Sensor Target

36 Collision Avoidance Systems Benefits: Increased Safety Protect your people Protect your crane Protect your facility Reduced maintenance cost

37 Industry Expertise HMI Leading Suppliers of hoisting equipment Monorail Manufactures Association Inc. (MMA) CMMA provide inspections and operation standards for cranes.

38 Industry Expertise Industry members help write safety standards and are on national committees such as ASME/ANSI, AWRF, WSDA, CIC, NCCCO, ACRP Offer Presentations: case studies, e-lessons buyers guides Trade Shows Publish new articles for trade periodicals and blogs Offer Professional Training

39 More Benefits to Overhead Lifting Presented by: Jeff McNeil

40 Why Use Overhead Lifting? Protect Your Employees Costs associated with lost work time, replacement of an employee, medical expenses, workers comp. costs Back injuries cost American industry $10 to $14 billion in workers comp. costs annually (NIOSH) Beside the quantifiable cost, there is a human side of injuries

41 Why Use Overhead Lifting? Load Control and Precision Control loads from a safe distance Control options and technology Effortless maneuvering by hand Precise positioning of the crane and hoist

42

43

44 Why Use Overhead Lifting? Engineered for your Application Easy and economical to adapt to your facility Can accommodate floor or overhead obstructions Can be portable from job to job Can be used indoors or outdoors

45

46

47

48 Why Use Overhead Lifting? Reduced Product Damage Solutions designed for your application Using a variety of below the hook devices, crane and hoist control options, and different crane rail technologies There are direct costs of damaged products There are also cost of quality impacts of delivering products to customers with minor damage from poor handling.

50 Why Use Overhead Lifting? Better Workflow / Use of Space Lifting product up and over obstacles instead of navigating through aisles No floor aisles or space required for lifting equipment Vertical storage is easier Production flow is more efficient No obstructions on the floor

51

52 Why Use Overhead Lifting? Easy Operation Manually operated solutions are ergonomic, easy to move, easy to learn Pendant controls are very simple to learn and use Even with high tech controls, the operator interface is easier to learn and use than other floor based alternatives

54 Case Study Below the Hook Lifting Devices Multiple Part Plate Handling Systems

55 Existing Application Loading and Unloading of steel plates onto cutting table using Overhead Crane along with slings and grabs. Customer needed a solution to increase his efficiency in handling the steel plates. Customer looking to cut down on amount of labor needed to unload multiple parts off of cutting table.

56 Below the Hook Lifting Solution Multiple Part Handling Magnet System

57 Below the Hook Lifting Solution Multiple Part Handling Magnet System Provides dramatic productivity gains through reduced material handling time in offloading cut parts and skeletons. Reduced material handling time results in increased torch on time which means higher productivity and lower costs. Engineered specifically for the material handling application.

58 Below the Hook Lifting Solution Multiple Part Handling Magnet System
