Remove a crown from a 135,000 pound Verson press machine
The MEI rigging crew completed a large project to remove a crown from a 135,000 pound Verson press machine (including the flywheel) to perform much needed repairs in Morrow, GA.
This press machine crown removal, which spanned over three days, was intricate and required various lifts to complete. Using the 100/140 Versa Lift, the biggest forklift available on the market with the capacity to lift 100,000 pounds easily or 140,000 pounds with the base extended, the 40/60 Versa Lift specifically built for power, maneuverability and up to 60,000 pounds in lifting power, and lastly the Hyster heavy duty, heavy capacity 15k forklift.
Our experienced team executed this project on time, on budget and with safety always in mind much to the satisfaction of the customer.
