Custom Engineering & Design

Reading Crane & Engineering provides more than just cranes. We deliver comprehensive, turn-key industrial systems designed for the toughest material handling challenges. Our equipment is built on a long legacy of reliability and technical precision, allowing us to build cranes suitable for any environment, no matter how challenging.

Bridges

We supply single-girder, double-girder, and gantry cranes, built to match your facility’s dimensions and layout.

Our wire rope, chain, electric, and pneumatic hoists can be fine-tuned for lightweight or heavy industrial materials.

Control Systems

Aligning your controls to your workflow allows you to lift and transport objects between workstations safely and efficiently.

We not only build runways with high-grade materials, we also design them around height restrictions and existing structures ‒ to move materials through your facility as quickly and safely as possible.

Below-the-Hook Devices

Reading’s engineering team builds slings, hooks, clamps, magnets, and other lifting devices designed to fit your exact lifting requirements. By evaluating each application, we ensure the materials moving through your facility can be rigged and secured as efficiently as possible, regardless of their size and shape.

Automation ensures tasks are completed the same way each and every time. Custom automation allows you to adjust lifting speeds and acceleration based on the objects you’re handling. We can even create programmed routes that allow you to maneuver loads through tight spaces and around obstacles that would normally be too difficult or time-consuming for human operators.

Modernization & Upgrades

Reading’s expertise is not limited to new designs. We can also breathe new life into your existing equipment, upgrading obsolete or antiquated mechanical and control systems in order to expand and renew their capabilities. It’s a cost-effective way to take advantage of new technologies that improve reliability, safety, and precision.

OSHA Inspections & Compliance

Our deep knowledge of OSHA guidelines ensures all our cranes adhere to the highest standards for clearance, load capacity, and safe operations, and operate within recommended duty cycle limits. We document every step of the process, ensuring you have access to all the inspections and certifications necessary for regulatory compliance.
