Here's a recent project featuring a 3-ton underhung single-girder crane with a Shaw-Box hoist by CMCO.

Crane systems can vary significantly based upon a facility’s layout, lifting requirements, and application. Our team evaluates all these details and provides the proper equipment for each project.

We’re proud of our team for another job well done!

This week, a few members of our leadership team attended the MHI Annual Conference in Palm Springs, California!

We are thankful to be members of the Crane Manufacturers Association of America (CMAA) and for the opportunity to connect with other industry leaders, continue learning, and work together to better serve our customers and the industry as a whole.

We also want to thank Molly Wood, Jeff McNeil, and Rose Haire for their hard work and continued partnership!

Engineered Systems became a member of the CMAA in 2025 as part of our commitment to safety and excellence within the crane and hoist industry.

At Engineered Systems, safety is an important part of every stage of the job.

Our fabricators are welding gussets, diaphragms, and side plates inside a confined space within a box girder crane. Working in this environment requires additional safety measures to help protect our people throughout the fabrication process.

Our team is equipped with the necessary PPE, including welding helmets with proper air filtration and harnesses for emergency rescue. A safety monitor remains outside the confined space while continuous atmospheric monitoring is performed to track conditions inside the box girder. Ventilation equipment is also used to circulate clean air and help remove welding fumes from the work area.

Projects like these highlight both the capabilities of our fabrication team and our commitment to performing the work safely.

Thank you to the CMCO team for spending the day with us yesterday!

It was a great opportunity for our people to learn more about CMCO, connect with the team, and gain additional product knowledge through several breakout sessions.

We appreciate the time and effort that went into making the day possible, especially from those who traveled to be with us. We're thankful for our partnership with Columbus McKinnon and look forward to continuing to work together to better serve our customers.

We are proud of and thankful for our Archdale, NC team as they continuously look for ways to serve their community.
