r u edu?
To keep students,
faculty, and facilities warm and happy, you need hot and cold running
water, electricity, and HVAC. You may even have a steam plant to
distribute heat. On most campuses, there is an ever-increasing emphasis
on Green, bringing the normally hidden world of maintenance into the
light. To keep your world running Green and smooth, you need the right
tools, like Wallace Cranes to help with the heavy lifting. Because most
of our cranes are un-powered, going Green is easy.

Want to Save $1,000,000 a Day?
Nuclear
power plants can lose a $1,000,000 a day with planned outages. The
precision ballet to get back on line quickly requires disassembly,
inspection, repair, re-inspection, and replacement. All this movement
requires a literal fleet of cranes. The crane of choice is Wallace! Our
portable cranes handle precision lifting requirements and provide the
mobility needed to move parts from their original locations to repair
areas and then back in service.

Some Assembly Required?
While
these words strike terror into the hearts of most parents, they are
reassuring to the maintenance professional. The experts know that
motors do not fly into place, parts do not assemble themselves, and
automated assembly systems must be built. For lightweight, medium, or
heavy duty lifting use Wallace Cranes. While you might wish for
assemblies as easy as they are in cartoons, in reality you need
durable, high-performance lift equipment such as a Wallace Thrifty
Adjustable crane.

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.

High Gas Prices Got You Steaming?
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. It's
business as usual, with all-manual Wallace Cranes.

With
a Wallace

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!

What Color Is Your Helicopter?

Tri-Adjustable aluminum crane meets all these criteria.

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.

Can I Borrow Your Crane?
Asking
to borrow a crane is just not right. Like borrowing sugar,
you are NEVER going to give it back. You know perfectly
well, once you use it, you are not likely to let it go.
Don't borrow a crane, don't lend a crane (with apologies
to Ben Franklin, we are just outside of Philadelphia.)
