Demonstration of trustworthiness and reliability.
A crane is a long-term investment with normal life expectancy often counted in
decades. The manufacturer you select should have demonstrated the staying power
to survive and prosper over such a time period. Ace meets the test. For over
seventy-five years we have been seeking to exceed our customers’ expectations
and or goal is to continue that tradition for many years into the future. |

Competence and ability of associates.
Depth and experience is the key to producing a quality product. Successful
delivery of a bridge crane requires the effort of many conscientious people. How
many and what manner of competent people populate the organization? A crane
project should begin with an on site visit by a crane professional. We believe
that our professionals, who fill this role, are unmatched in number, experience,
qualifications and ability. The information gathered regarding your need is then
submitted to our world class engineering department, and a crane system is
professionally designed to meet your requirements. Actual manufacturing is then
accomplished by a team of highly qualified, experienced Ace associates who take
great pride in building the highest quality crane available anywhere.

Ace Tips on Bridge Cranes
Bridge cranes are custom built pieces of material handling equipment designed
for a specific location and a particular overhead lifting job. A finished unit
is made up of basic standardized components with the size, method of assembly,
and characteristics chosen, yielding the desired result.
The basic components of most bridge cranes are (1) end trucks. (2) bridge
drives, (3) bridge control panel, (4) bridge girder, (5) trolley, (6) hoist, (7)
festooned cross conductors, (8) festooned push button conductors, and (9) push
button and cable assembly. Sometimes other components such as a catwalk, cab,
radio control, collision control device, warning horn, lights, or other special
accessory are added.
There are various types of bridge cranes with many being highly specialized, but
the great majority of installations fall into one of three categories: (1) top
running single girder bridge cranes, (2) top running double girder bridge
cranes, and (3) underrunning single girder bridge cranes.
Ace Industries manufactures all types of quality bridge cranes engineered to
meet your specific application. To accomplish this result for you quickly and
most economically, we stock complete proven selections of end trucks, drives,
controls, hoists, trolleys, and other related equipment manufactured by the
leading hoist and crane companies in the world. When presented with your exact
requirement, our professional engineering staff, will custom design a bridge
crane to meet your needs. There is no compromise with quality. Every component
is chosen based on our vast experience to yield superior performance,
reliability, durability, and economy (lowest total cost of ownership).
The component manufacturers we represent are recognized as some of the foremost
and most reliable in the world. We stock and supply end trucks, hoists and
trolleys by Shaw Box (LiftTech), CM, Yale, Coffing, R&M, Ace Engineering, and
Stahl. Some crane builders attempt to cut costs by supplying only the hoist from
a nationally recognized vendor and manufacturing their own end trucks and
trolleys. This is usually done at the expense of quality and reliability.
Certainly, at a later time, the crane owner is a captive market with limited
options, when it comes to finding and purchasing repair parts for these locally
manufactured components, if they are even available.
Ace not only manufactures bridge cranes, but we also provide and install
complete systems consisting of engineering, runways, support columns, and all
other items to make sure that you have single source responsibility and a turn
key job. Our world class engineering department, insures you that these systems
will reliably handle your application.
Call us whenever you have a need for a new bridge crane or any modification to
an older one that you might already own. Modernization or modification of older
cranes is one of our specialties. Our engineering staff and other specialists
can save you money by refurbishing your older but still useful equipment.
