Special Purpose Case study:

The bespoke bolt-on 180 degree slew davit arm with manual hand winch (shown left) was specifically developed for a motor removal/maintenance on large newspaper printing presses. The motors are side mounted in close series to the machine face. Following discussions with the client, the Dale light crane design department developed a working prototype which had to be portable and able to be positioned to work in an extremely confined space in between pairs of motors. Successful trials have resulted in the lifting arm being provided with each new press for on-site maintenance.

Dales' have long experience in providing cost effective solutions to handling problems - .
