SAFELY UPENDING LARGE PARTS

OPERATIONAL SIMULATION
OPERATIONAL SIMULATION

AFE Crane was tasked with creating a safer method to up end parts from a cart.  The bulky parts were on a castered cart.  The customer lifted one end of the part with a single hoist and load bar from a horizontal to a vertical orientation.  During lifting the cart could kick out from under the part due to the changing center of gravity.  The cart could strike operators legs, sometimes in a very sudden and violent way, causing potential injuries.

AFE Crane created a safer lifting system by employing a dual pick point system and lifting the part off the cart before starting to upend the part.  

The video above illustrates this solution.

If you have an unsafe lifting operation, give us a call and we will work with you to develop a safe solution.
