Extending the Runway: A Successful Crane Upgrade for a Leading Sydney Manufacturer
At Levitate Lifting Equipment, we take pride in delivering complex lifting solutions with precision and professionalism. Our latest project took us beyond our home base in Melbourne to Sydney, where we assisted one of Australia’s leading plastic injection furniture manufacturers in upgrading their production facility. Their products are widely used in major schools and universities across the country, making efficiency and reliability crucial to their operations.
Project Overview
The client required an extension of the runway for their only 10T overhead crane, a critical piece of equipment in their facility. The upgrade needed to be completed before the Christmas break, as they had planned major floor modifications to accommodate a new plastic injection machine. Given the tight timeline and high stakes, they entrusted Levitate Lifting to execute the project with precision.
Challenges of an Interstate Crane Upgrade
Undertaking an interstate crane project presents unique challenges that many crane companies shy away from. Unlike local projects, these require meticulous planning, as any errors in measurement or fabrication can result in costly delays and logistical nightmares.
For this project, accurate measurement and surveying were paramount. The existing runway had to be measured down to the millimeter, ensuring seamless integration with the new extension. Given the natural variances in structural steel and site conditions, our team conducted a detailed site survey, identifying potential level variations and other site-specific factors that could impact installation.
Manufacturing and Logistics
Once measurements were verified, the runway extension was manufactured in our Melbourne facility, ensuring quality control at every stage. After rigorous quality checks, the entire structure was transported to Sydney, ready for installation.
Seamless Installation in Record Time
Despite the project’s complexity, our experienced technicians completed the installation within just two days. The new runway extension was seamlessly integrated with the existing structure, ensuring the crane’s smooth operation without any disruptions to the client’s workflow.
