Machine Shop Case Study

Klapperich Tool, Inc. provides machine shop services for tool and equipment manufacturers. The facility is equipped with milling machines, metal lathes, surface grinders, CNC machines, wire electrical discharge machines, welding machines, and more. Klapperich Tool has used propane forklifts and a single portable jib crane for their material handling which required a need for coordination and the forklifts also caused a high concentration of propane exhaust fumes. To replace their old system, Klapperich Tool purchased a Spanco Freestanding Workstation Bridge Crane with 104-foot, six-inch long runways.
