Advanced Precast Company Inc., an Iowa based producer of structural and architectural prestress products, has strengthened its lifting and material handling capabilities with the recent addition of a Shuttlelift DB50 rubber-tired gantry crane. The investment supports the company\u2019s steady growth and its commitment to efficient, precise, and dependable production.<\/p>\n

Advanced Precast Company is using a Shuttlelift DB50 rubber-tired gantry crane.<\/p><\/div>\n

Founded in 2008, Advanced Precast operates a 70,000-square-foot facility equipped with four casting lines. Despite being a smaller operation, the company has built a reputation for exceptional speed and efficiency. \u201cWe are a small facility, but we are fast in how we operate,\u201d said Randy Anderson, Director of Operations. \u201cBecause of our efficiencies, people often think we\u2019re much larger than we actually are.\u201d<\/p>\n

As business continued to expand over the past several years, the need for a new gantry crane became increasingly clear. Anderson first connected with Shuttlelift at a trade show, where he was introduced to the company\u2019s equipment and team.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter getting to know Shuttlelift, we realized how easy it was to work together.\u201d<\/p>\n

The DB50 delivered to Advanced Precast includes several features that have quickly proven valuable to both operators and maintenance staff.<\/p><\/div>\n

The DB50 delivered to Advanced Precast includes several features that have quickly proven valuable to both operators and maintenance staff. Anderson highlighted Shuttlelift\u2019s spacious cab and platform layout, which he described as \u201ca nice working space for our operators.\u201d<\/p>\n

The maintenance team also noted the benefit of being able to access and service critical components from ground level or a ladder thanks to the crane\u2019s low-mounted hoist design. Additionally, Shuttlelift\u2019s IQAN diagnostic system gives the ability to streamline troubleshooting and help the team keep working, further maximizing uptime and improving overall efficiency.<\/p>\n

The delivery and installation process also exceeded expectations. Anderson was impressed with the professionalism and independence of the Shuttlelift service team.<\/p>\n

Anderson stated, \u201cThe Shuttlelift technicians were incredibly self-sufficient, we were able to go about our normal day as they did their job. It was a seamless install.\u201d After upgrading to a Shuttlelift gantry crane, Anderson also noted that, \u201cThe learning curve from our previous equipment to Shuttlelift was easy and smooth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Working with Shuttlelift, Anderson emphasized, has been a consistently positive experience. \u201cShuttlelift has always treated us well, and there has always been full transparency,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we\u2019re in a bind, they are quick to help us out. Their level of knowledge in the gantry crane industry is second to none.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anderson then added that the value of choosing Shuttlelift was clear from the beginning: \u201cWe could feel the value of working with Shuttlelift immediately, and it had an impact on our business.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the addition of the DB50, Advanced Precast is better equipped to support its growing production demands while maintaining the high standards of quality and reliability that have defined the company\u2019s success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
