Metal work for Demag

Demag Cranes & Components Ltd has supplied three single girder cranes equipped with DR PRO wire rope hoists for Composite Metal Flooring Ltd’s (CMF) new production facility in Monmouthshire.

The three cranes each have a span of 19m & are rated to 10t SWL. they feature anti-collision protection, cross travel & long travel limits, & are operated by radio remote control.

CMF said it opted for Demag cranes as they provide it with a reliable solution to its lifting needs. Operations director Stephen Haines explains: “All of our decking profiles are manufactured to order & the nature of our business means that they are working to tight lead times. Any interruption to the manufacturing method, as a result of equipment failure, would severely compromise our business.”

The 30,000 sq ft facility has a projected output of over 750,000 sq m of metal decking per year. The factory comprises three independent, automated, CNC controlled production lines, where the cranes & hoists are used to load coils of galvanised steel weighing up to 8t onto de-coilers.
