Automation Solutions
Our automation solutions optimize material handling processes through advanced technologies like automated guided vehicles and pallet lifters. These systems enhance productivity by reducing manual labor requirements while improving accuracy and operational efficiency. Designed for heavy industrial environments, our automation equipment handles loads ranging from 40 to 100 tons with precision.
Custom Lifting Devices
We design and manufacture specialized lifting equipment including ladle beams, coil grabs, and spreader beams. Each solution complies with ASME B30.20 standards and is engineered for specific load capacities and operational requirements. Our lifting devices incorporate safety features that prevent accidents while handling heavy industrial materials.
Equipment Repair Services
Our repair services cover gearbox overhauls, crane wheel assembly maintenance, and structural welding. Certified technicians use non-destructive testing to identify wear points and perform precision repairs that extend equipment lifespan. We provide emergency breakdown support with on-site machining capabilities to minimize production downtime.
Engineering Consultation
Our engineering team offers design consultation and finite element analysis for material handling systems. We specialize in optimizing equipment performance through structural analysis and reverse engineering of legacy components. Services include compliance verification against CSA and CMAA standards for industrial cranes and lifting equipment.
Non-Destructive Testing
We provide on-site NDT inspections using certified level 2 technicians and advanced diagnostic tools. Our inspection services identify hidden defects in lifting equipment while maintaining operational continuity. Comprehensive reports include failure analysis and recommendations for compliance with Ontario OHSA regulations.
