MEC GRU solution

Italprogetti expands its production capacity by building new warehouses for the production of ever-increasing size and weight drums, renewing the existing ones with new machines and equipments at the same time. The customer’s need refers in particular to the necessity to move and rotate with great precision and stability large drums during the assembly and production process. The lifting systems must have low headroom profiles.
The MEC GRU solution consists in the supply of many 10t and 20t capacity overhead cranes with a span larger than 22m assembled with standardized SWF crane kits equipped with a special +/- 360 ° swing-down trolley assembled with SWF heads and gearmotors with two fixed hoists for single and combined operation. This technical solution developed by the MEC GRU technical office makes it possible to move the large drums with efficiency and safety and reduce the overall dimensions of the bridge crane.
All bridge cranes are provided with Telecrane Italia radio control, weighing system, SWF Novamaster monitoring system.
MEC GRU realized the complete design, supply and assembly of all the supporting structures, as columns, runways for a truly turnkey supply, the whole project has been developed and was completed in about 6 months of activity, all the tests were carried out with full satisfaction of the client.
