Work Station Crane Opens Floor Space, Creates A Safer Workplace, and Increases Productivity

Background

At Stewart Haas Racing, race cars are built and prepared from start to finish to finish line.

The Problem

Previously, in-house built “A” style frame cranes were used to position the grids on the cars during the build process. Each department had several of these “A” frame style cranes creating difficulty when moving the grids around on the cars to check the templates. Not only did this create a cluttered work space, but also a hazard and the slowing down of productivity.

The Solution

With a Gorbel Ceiling Mounted Work Station Crane in place, the build process has become more efficient on the manufacturing of these high precision machines.
