Custom Overhead Crane Systems for Electrical Transformer Manufacturing

CHALLENGES

SOLUTION

A fully integrated overhead crane and runway system was installed to support critical stages of transformer manufacturing. The system enables safe, controlled, and precise lifting of large cores, tanks, and assemblies, improving workflow efficiency, protecting high-value components, and supporting consistent production quality while maintaining a strong focus on worker safety and compliance.

Our overhead crane and runway system plays a critical role in supporting our customer’s transformer manufacturing process by enabling the safe, efficient, and precise handling of heavy and high-value components throughout production.

As a Canadian manufacturer at the forefront of the electrical transformer industry, our customer produces high-quality liquid-immersed transformers tailored to a wide range of electrical requirements. Their product portfolio includes distribution-class pad-mount and pole-top transformers, as well as power-sized units serving industrial and utility markets.

Liftsafe communicated clearly and consistently throughout the project, keeping us informed at every stage. Their team met all agreed timelines and was flexible in accommodating requested changes as our requirements evolved. The overall experience was professional and efficient, and we were very satisfied with the outcome.

— Client

The crane and runway system is integrated into key stages of the manufacturing workflow, allowing large transformer cores, tanks, and assemblies to be moved seamlessly between fabrication, assembly, and testing areas. By providing controlled lifting, accurate positioning, and repeatable material flow, the system helps reduce manual handling, improve worker safety, and minimize the risk of damage to critical components.

This material-handling solution supports consistent production quality, improves throughput, and provides the flexibility required to manufacture transformers of varying sizes and capacities helping our customer maintain their reputation for world-class quality, reliability, and on-time delivery.
