To optimise material flow at its
new Leeds manufacturing
site, the Mechanical Drives
division of Siemens Industry
Automation and Drive Technologies
turned to Street Crane Company for
crane systems to meet its complex
handling needs.

For assembly operations in the
high volume manufacturing cells, six
Street Crane one-tonne light crane
systems, with up to six metre span,
have been installed. Complete with
Street Crane LX chain hoists and
independent gantry support, these
light crane systems provide flexible
and adaptable lifting for lighter loads
and ensure safe handling.

For heavier lifts in the adjoining
projects and service heavy assembly
bay, Street Crane has installed a
system of three semi Goliath cranes
without rails. These ensure that work
can be progressed without waiting
for a crane to become available. All
of these cranes have a safe working
load of 12.5t.

The heavy assembly bay is also
serviced by a 25t double girder
overhead crane spanning the full
24.5m width of the bay.
