Heavyweight

Nanotechnology?

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.

Surrender to the inevitability of movement and heavy lifting in nanotechnology and ease your burden with a Wallace Portable Crane.

You can choose from a wide range of models to be sure you get the right fit. Standard heights range from just under 7 feet to over 18 feet . Aluminum crane capacities go up to 2,000 lbs., while steel cranes can lift up to 15,000 lbs.

Recursive design means movement. So move and design faster with a Wallace Thrifty Crane!

Wallace also provides quick remote access to help you rebuild and inspect your cranes. Two page assembly manuals and inspection packets are downloadable from the web.

This is the seventh installment of a series of application stories designed to highlight serious lifting options. The crane and telescope are part of a virtual image. Please note that while no lifting slings are shown in the image, you should always secure your load. To properly lift real equipment, you should be sure the hoist and crane are sized for the expected load.
