The Machinist Super ShopFloor AwardElectroMech, the biggest crane manufacturer in India by volume has recently bagged “The Machinist Super ShopFloor Award” for Innovation. This award has been presented to ElectroMech by The Machinist magazine, a times of India group initiative during an award ceremony held on 26th May 2016 at Hotel Hyatt Regency, Pune. ElectroMech won this award for the 150MT customised crane solution designed for L&T to be used on launching girders for segment handling to replace existing type of winch system.

The innovative cane solution designed by ElectroMech is robust, safe and dependable crane solution replacing the bulky, cumbersome and maintenance prone traditional Winch system.  Primary attribute for this innovation is very precise cross travel movement through use of hydraulics in the crane (for the first time) and near equal load distribution of wheels required in designing of other structures.  It took five months to design and four months to implement this innovative system.

The lower and uniform distribution of wheel loads results in considerably lower weight of structures of launching girders.  In addition to this, requirement of 5 to 10 mm cross travel precise movement has been reduced to 1 mm, making it completely safe operation. Also modular design of leg heights has been reduced, which benefits to save all future height requirements.  This innovative crane solution is operator friendly and consumes less energy as compared to conventional Winch system due to its less weight.

Commenting on the occasion, Tushar Mehendale, Managing Director, ElectroMech said, “this award truly replicates our commitment to bring out innovative crane solutions for the complex requirements of our customers. Innovation has become a tradition at ElectroMech. On another part, such awards do bring along additional responsibility to continuously improve and maintain the best quality of our crane solutions. Apart from the customers, who put the strong faith in our capabilities, this award is also an acknowledgement for the support and dedication of our vendors and employees as well”

ElectroMech is a well appreciated brand for its innovative approach in the industry. The company has received several awards for Innovation in the past, including the innovation award for its products like Tunnel Mucking System, Single Failure Proof Crane for Nuclear Power Corporation of India and Stacker Crane to name a few.
