Wallace Cranes Application Stories

Is Your Business Picking Up?

Our business is always picking up! As the economy improves you should be picking up, too. Wallace Cranes lift and move WIP, equipment, tooling, large work pieces, and more...

Wallace Portable Cranes like the 18 foot tall Round Tube Steel Tri-Adjustable shown right is supporting a nearly 3-ton section of steel pipe, 12 feet long. When not moving WIP or finished goods, Wallace Cranes are ideal for once-in-awhile maintenance lifts, like replacing a worn motor. However, most Wallace users do not limit themselves to just maintenance tasks.

Rearranging Your Plant as Child's Play?
Rearranging Your Plant as Child's Play?

Wallace Portable Cranes can bring your heavy lifting problems down to size. As you try to do more with less, you can use a Wallace Crane to help rearrange your workflows to optimize product paths. When it comes time to put your plans in action, our versatile, portable cranes can make difficult moves look like child’s play.

Customers rely on us for precision, high-capacity lifts like moving or removing injection molding dies that weigh tons but have assembly clearances measured in mils. The crane shown left is one of our “physically smaller” high-capacity cranes.

Mixing Air and Water?

Waste water treatment requires aeration. While the air itself is lightweight, the equipment to push the air through the water demands substantial machinery, like the centrifugal blower shown right. The casing alone can weigh thousands of pounds. To move these massive blowers, you need a versatile heavy lifting crane – a Wallace Tri-Adjustable Portable Gantry Crane. Our cranes can easily move the equipment right where you need it.

How Do You Move Your World?
How Do You Move the Motor
That Moves Your World?

Running a "lean" maintenance department can carry a heavy cost, especially when you don’t have a Wallace Portable Crane. While you can’t plan your next emergency, you can plan what fixes the problem. Wallace Cranes have the capacity to quickly and easily move the busted motors that have shut down production. If one part of your process stops, everything stops. So now you literally rely on one motor to move your world. A Wallace Crane can replace that one motor.

How Current is Your Technology?

No matter what level your manufacturing capabilities are, Wallace Cranes can help. If the weight of your end product created with 5-axis machining is on the order of ounces,
then a Wallace Crane can be used to help install and perform routine maintenance on the tooling. For less precise and heavier applications, out cranes can lift WIP and fixturing.

At Wallace we have been using our own equipment since we started in 1954. We have gone through a number of technology changes. As we retool, we rely on our own equipment to create the tooling for the next generation of cranes.

Blocked by High Oil Prices?

Wallace Portable Cranes run without oil! Most of our cranes can be manually operated, requiring little more than routine lubrication to help keep the moving parts moving. Our manually operated cranes are often part of the bigger energy picture. Wallace has a number of cranes hard at work on the Alyeska pipeline.

Possible energy savings extend beyond the power industry to your physical plant. For both direct and indirect energy savings, rely on Wallace Portable Cranes.

Infrastructure repair, with no Power Infrastructure Washed Away?

When the water recedes, you are still faced with the tasks of rebuilding and repairing, without power. How do you rebuild the infrastructure of power and water when there is no power? The solution is WALLACE PORTABLE CRANES. We are already the crane of choice for electric power plants, pumping stations, wastewater treatment, and large-scale HVAC (malls, universities). Most of our models are in stock along with a wide range of manual accessories, allowing for quick shipment.

Lifts that require a crane are not restricted to municipalities. Farms, hospitals, and any size facility needs heavy duty lift equipment to help remove pumps, filters, motors, and other floor mounted machinery. Versatile WALLACE CRANES can get the equipment up, out, and ready for cleaning. Or if the water damage is too great, the cranes can help install the replacement parts.

High Tech Heaving Lifting?

Even though the goal of nanotechnology is to get equipment to build itself, you have to do heavy lifting first. For clean-room conditions you need vacuum pumps and sealed chambers, neither of which is lightweight. So before you build small, you have to first think big, and use Wallace Portable cranes to do the heavy lifting.

It helps to remember that even though the equipment is heavy, it must still be accurately and smoothly placed. And we can guarantee that anything you place will have to be moved. The iterative design process as indicated with the recursive models indicates normal experimental dependencies. Change just one thing and you end up starting over.

Wallace Portable gantry cranes use no gas at all. The only steam you will see may be an occasional steam turbine, like the one depicted on the left. Easily pushed on smooth rolling casters, you can move loads up to 10 tons without using a single drop of gas. Wallace Cranes provide a versatile lifting solution that never needs to be topped off to keep working. So laugh off gas prices, at least on the shop floor.

Troubled by Heavy Butterflies?

Not all butterflies are lightweight insects. When you have a 48" butterfly valve made of cast iron, steel, and maybe some delicate electronics, light is NOT the operative word. You need a Wallace Portable crane to take care of those heavy butterflies. Our Tri-Adjustable cranes are equally adept with globe, gate, and ball valves.

For easy transportation, you can fold a crane into a small package. Swivel pin mounting on the legs and leg braces and pinned connections allow the crane to go from folded to ready to use in minutes. Just four pins are needed to connect the caster frames to the main legs. No wrenches required to reassemble the crane!

Can Cranes Keep a Hospital Healthy?

How do you keep a hospital healthy? Just like people, they need care and feeding. For the best in care for your equipment, use a Wallace Crane. Because sterilizers do not march into place, you need a Wallace Portable Crane to get the sterilizer from the dock to just outside the OR. Too, precision equipment like MRI (shown left), CAT, and PET scanners needs precision placement and high load capacity.

For less glamorous but equally vital tasks, Wallace Cranes can help keep clean air moving. Use our versatile cranes to install HVAC equipment like air-conditioners. And once installed, you can easily lift motors, filters, and desiccators for periodic inspection, repair, or replacement.
