Airpes<\/a>, a manufacturer of lifting, weighing and below-the-hook equipment, has named Alex Lozano technical director for the Americas. He has already proved his worth in the field.<\/p>\n

Lozano completed transition from the company\u2019s headquarters in Barcelona, Spain; the dual-citizen is fluent in both English and Spanish. As the global pandemic eases, Lozano\u2019s role will evolve into a more exclusively site-based, customer-facing position.<\/p>\n

However, he has recently leveraged the breadth of his skillset on a number of projects, most notably a capacity upgrade of hulking lifting attachments for General Electric, a company for which he has also led training and technical assistance programs.<\/p>\n

Removing 40,000-pound diesel-electric-hydraulic lifting apparatus from its shipping container (it filled the entire space) was just the start. It was then retrofitted with global system for mobile communications (GSM) connectivity, and capacity-enhanced fittings, before being completely tested for functionality. The GSM connectivity allowed engineers at the factory to log in remotely and monitor the upgrades and fine-tune the controls. Overall, approximately 300 hours were put into the upgrade in just four days.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Lozano performed lifetime-extending and capability-expanding upgrades for another customer in South Carolina. There, a 120,000-lb. capacity transfer car was given upgrades that better matched the duty cycle the equipment was realizing.<\/p>\n

Airpes<\/a> has three principle lines of business, namely pre-engineered weighing and monitoring kits for overhead cranes, including load cells, overload protection, readouts, and data loggers; engineered lifting devices for wind turbine erection; and engineered below-the-hook devices, such as coil grabs, rotating blocks, and magnets. Most orders include product design, build and documentation.<\/p>\n

Lozano said: \u201cAirpes<\/a> wins work by providing a more personalized experience, so having a field-based team means we can cover more bases for our customers and support our dealers. I often have to be the go-between for engineering teams at the factory and the customer. I speak a few dialects of Spanish, and received all of my training at the factory, so I work with them frequently. I don\u2019t go out and sell the work, but I have to interface with customer engineers and field labor teams, such as ironworkers, continuously. Being able to help them and communicate effectively is critical to my success.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tad Dunville, general manager at Airpes Americas<\/a>, said: \u201cWe\u2019re looking to Alex to commission equipment, inspect and make repairs, and help program proprietary devices. He\u2019s getting more proficient at looking at applications and helping the sales team recommend a specific execution or bill of materials. In all of those endeavors, it helps him\u2014and us\u2014greatly that he is bilingual and able to communicate with all points of our supply chains.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lozano added: \u201cI\u2019ve been at headquarters recently but am eager to be back on site; we are starting to visit customers again as essential workers. Historically, I have spent more time in wind power but the industrial crane side of the market has been growing in importance. We are a growing company and I love the feeling of building something. Our customers expect us to deliver a whole package and that\u2019s a challenge I rise to.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
