A customer called when they heard squealing and whining coming from their hoist. Our service team opened up the gearbox and found the source: a broken load brake, likely the result of a shock load.
We sourced a replacement load brake directly from Detroit Hoist, had it express-shipped in, and installed it right there in the field. Our tech didn't stop at the repair — he cleaned the gearbox and inspected the rest of the unit before the job was done.
Completing the week with a complete system — 10-ton double girder bridge crane and 120-foot freestanding runway, fabricated in-house. #overheadcrane#bridgecrane

We recently completed a series of three shipments over the last few weeks to deliver six custom 5-ton under running bridge cranes. These units are designed to operate on a massive 740-foot freestanding runway system, providing a complete lifting solution for the facility.
Each crane is equipped with a Detroit electric wire rope hoist and features a step-cut girder design to maintain a low profile. To manage six cranes on a single runway, we integrated anti-collision systems and @MagnetekInc Telependant radio controls for precise, safe operation.
Monday morning started with the shipment of this custom 1-ton under running double girder bridge crane. The system features a specialized Electrolift twin hook rotating hoist with hooks spaced 8 feet apart.
Capable of continuous 360° rotation at 1 RPM, the hoist allows for precision load positioning via a @MagnetekInc Flex 8EX2 radio remote. For added safety, integrated LED line lights project a boundary box on the floor around the hooks during operation.
It took three days and multiple trailers, but this complete 20-ton lifting solution is officially on the move! Our team handled the entire package, from the 125-ft freestanding runway system to the 41-ft span double girder bridge crane.
More shipments from TSOC means more growth for American manufacturing! Our fabrication team has been busy as we just wrapped up a few projects.
- A custom 3-ton bridge crane w/ a 45-ft span.
- A pair of heavy-duty 20-ton double girder bridge cranes.
