Simmers engineering teams optimize lifting operations with systems built around your specific needs, layout, and workflow.
Whether you require more precise positioning, better coverage or increased reliability, we deliver solutions tailor-fit to your application, with power and performance beyond conventional lifting devices.
Industry-Leading Crane Services & Products
At Simmers, we don’t just provide industrial equipment. We construct comprehensive, turnkey systems designed to solve the most complex lifting challenges.
Backed by decades of engineering excellence, our cranes reduce bottlenecks, maximize lifting height, and provide faster, more precise material handling – for enhanced safety, reliability, and throughput.
Custom overhead cranes offer significant advantages over off-the-shelf systems, especially in facilities with space limitations, exceptionally large loads, or demanding production cycles.
Simmers mechanical, electrical, and civil engineers can help strengthen every aspect of your lifting equipment, including:
Below-the-Hook Devices
Simmers’ below-the-hook engineering team evaluates each lifting application to and identifies the product and technique capable of handling it safely and reliably, in compliance with regulatory standards. Slings, hooks, clamps, grabs, magnets, rotators, and other lifting devices can be custom designed or configured for oversized or irregularly shaped objects. Ensuring weight is evenly distributed improves operator ergonomics, enhances safety, mitigates damage, reduces assembly time, and increases throughput.
Automated Crane Systems
Instead of handling loads manually, automation allows you to move materials along programmed paths and position them with greater precision and accuracy. Besides simplifying repetitive tasks, automation reduces errors and minimizes risk to workers. Automated cranes are easy to integrate into your existing inventory or production systems, allowing you to oversee and coordinate every link in your process chain.
Modernization & Upgrades
Modifying your equipment expands its capabilities, allowing it to lift heavy and delicate payloads it wasn’t initially built to handle. Adding reinforced components increases your lifting capacity, improves stability, and helps cranes resist adverse environmental conditions. Incorporating new technology leads to better safety, fluid movement, and tighter integration into production lines.
OSHA Inspections & Compliance
All our systems are built to meet OSHA guidelines for performance and safety. Our engineers and inspectors help address potential risk factors, including load control, electrical hazards, and operational visibility before they become an issue. Every one of our designs is fully documented and certified, as required by OSHA, ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) and CMAA (Crane Manufacturers Association of America) regulations, protecting you from liability.
