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 above. 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.

Wallace Cranes are used for more than just installation. Because your equipment does not run forever, you need to perform preventative maintenance and periodic inspections. Lifts in tight spaces are Wallace’s specialty – you can adjust the height, span, and tread so the crane fits where it must. With CAD-based customization both our fixed height and adjustable portable cranes can be modified.

Wallace Cranes has a long history in waste water treatment. Facilities across the country rely on our cranes to move pumps, motors, filters, couplings, valves, pipes, test equipment, and even blowers (like above). In addition to heavyweights like the 5-ton Tri-Adjustable shown above, our easily transportable and weather resistant aluminum cranes like the Aluminum Thrifty and Aluminum Tri-Adjustable are often used for lifting pump and motor sets from below grade.

Wallace makes hundreds of cranes with heights from under 6 ft. to over 24 ft. Our capacities run from 500 to 30,000 lbs. What these numbers mean is that just about anything will fit under one of our proven Wallace Cranes. And because it fits, that “anything” can be repaired, replaced, refurbished, moved, removed, or dealt with. Choose reliability, choose Wallace.

This is another installment of our series of application stories that highlight serious lifting options. Please note that while no lifting slings are shown in the image, for any real lifting you should be sure the crane, hoist, and slings are sized for the expected load. To maintain the proprietary nature of our technology, not all fasteners are shown. The intent is to show the general design and typical applications.
