What happens when you realize you need a custom lifting solution to make a project work right?
If you've spent any time as a rigging distributor, crane operator, contractor, plant manager or project engineer, you know that the need for specialized, customized lifting or transport equipment is quite common. Safe lifting is a non-negotiable, and devices that perform the work are critically important. Even with the thousands of standard options at a BTH lifting device manufacturer like Caldwell, a specific project or process often calls for something that needs a specific lifting solution.
Sometimes you simply need a minor modification to an existing product, like adding an additional set of holes to a lifting beam for a specific spread. While other times you may need to start with a rough drawing on the back of a napkin and rely on the Caldwell engineering crew to dive in and create something that's never existed before, like a transport carriage for a lunar lander.
Either is OK, because no matter what the complexity level, all custom projects follow a similar process:
Step 1: Complete Caldwell's Application Evaluation to give us some basic information to start with and email it to us.
Step 2: Begin the conversation with our expert team. With your information in hand, one of our Technical Service Reps will give you a call to discuss everything about your processes, your plant, and your priorities. Worried that you haven't done this before? Don't be. The Caldwell team has created thousands upon thousands of custom lifting devices for some of the most demanding clients in the country.
Step 3: Let the engineers get to work. Following ASME guidelines and armed with decades of industry experience, our mechanical and electrical engineers create the drawings exactly to your custom specs.
Step 4: Review and sign off on a final design. After a collaborative process, the approval is yours.
Step 5: Sit back while Caldwell starts the build. This is where the fun starts! Caldwell’s skilled fabricators, welders, electricians, and assemblers turn those drawings into reality.
Step 6: Trust the testing process. Now is the time we make sure it all works like it’s supposed to, meeting ASME standards and your expectations.
Step 7: Take delivery and put that custom equipment to work.
