When you look for crane suppliers, you want a partner who understands your needs, who not only works hard to design and manufacture equipment that works but who also makes every project safer and easier to carry out.

With that in mind, here are a few factors to consider when looking for a supplier for your lifting and rigging needs.

Maintenance and Transport Equipment

In heavy industries, we’re constantly moving loads. At H Brown, we use Our hydraulic jacking systems and cranes to move heavy equipment in tight or hard-to-access parts of an industrial facility. We have moved petrochemical and electric utilities equipment that weighed 3,000 up to 1 million pounds. A good supplier will make the job easier by providing top-quality handling equipment, such as lifting beams, c hooks, coil tongs, plate lifts and transfer carts.

Weighing Systems

Another factor to take into account is that the supplier has weighing systems, from basic elements such as electronic limiters, mechanical limiters or load cells, to complements, displays and hooks.

Tailor-made Solutions for Lifting and Weighing

In the different industrial sectors, companies need tailor-made solutions that fit their needs at a very demanding level. A good crane supplier manages to carry out projects and design lifting and weighing systems customized for each client.

Top-level Certification and Standards in Lifting and Weighing Safety

Crane lifting and weighing products must be handled with great care. Misuse can be dangerous and, therefore, you should always rely on a company that has all the standards and product certifications, as they will provide maximum security in all projects.

Betting on a Lifting and Weighing Test Bench

The most demanding companies want to know their lifting systems well, so a test bench adds extra value to a supplier of lifting and weighing equipment. This way, you can test all of your systems before you get them up and running to make sure everything is working properly and there are no unexpected surprises.

Pulling the Plan Together

Your team will need to follow the lift plan carefully and adhere to the following steps before starting the lift:

• Make sure all equipment has up-to-date inspections
• Identify a manager for the job—usually a safety professional or person-in-charge (PIC)
• Identify the crane operator for the job
• Inspect all components to be used
• Perform a test run following the rigging plan
• Train all team members who will be participating in the lift to ensure they can follow proper rigging techniques
• Clear the job site of any and all debris, hazards or obstructions

There’s no room for overconfidence and inexperience when it comes to rigging your project. The H. Brown team can work with you to create a lift plan for you that emphasizes safety and that will complete your work on-time and on budget.
