Specialized Crane Systems
PAR Systems is a leader in creating, building, and maintaining specialty and high-integrity cranes and easy-to-install anti-sway technology. We’re experts at lifting and moving extremely heavy loads to the strictest regulatory compliance standards.
Designing, manufacturing, and maintaining specialty crane systems for challenging applications is one of our specialties.
Our crane systems are being used on some of the largest and most critical material handling applications in the world. PAR Systems can create a first-of-its-kind solution when a standard “off the shelf” crane doesn’t meet your requirements.
PAR has engineered hundreds of intelligent solutions for challenging environments. Whether it’s critical payloads like space launch vehicles or aircraft manufacturing lines, construction sites with critical and unique requirements, underwater applications, environments with explosive particulate and gasses, elevated temperature situations, or conventional munitions demilitarization, we have the technology and experience to get the job done safely.
Deep experience with equipment for complex, critical lifting applications
Building a crane for extremely heavy loads requires advanced engineering to design and build a crane to be effective, efficient, and safe. And because many of these environments are highly-regulated industries, deep expertise is needed to ensure policies are adhered to. You can count on that expertise and quality with PAR Systems.
PAR Systems is your resource for all things crane-related.
High Integrity and Specialty Cranes
It’s common for our competitors to refer their customers to PAR when a standard, pre-engineered crane does not fit their requirements. That’s because we’re experts in a variety of special crane types. Our specialty crane systems extend beyond typical lifting operations to include grappling components, performing inspections, and personnel lifting. We are the premier provider of gantry cranes and bridge cranes for specialized applications. Our cranes have been installed at both “duty-cycle” (mills, plants, ship unloaders, and refineries) and “technical” (nuclear, aerospace, military, etc.) facilities around the world.
Anti-Sway Crane Control
Anti-sway technology enables crane operators to skillfully maneuver cranes safely and efficiently. PAR Systems’ anti-sway technology, EXPERTOPERATOR™, is a hardware module that converts pendent commands into expert commands issued to motor drives. This enables all crane operators to perform like experts. Installation of this technology is much faster than other anti-sway solutions, as it doesn’t require sensors. This also allows it to perform at any height, making it easy to install and use, no matter how challenging the application. Hook sway is eliminated, and efficiency and safety are increased.
Crane Updates
Updating your crane’s DC drives to modern controls has many benefits. With expert help from PAR, a crane update can improve overall performance, lower necessary crane maintenance and operational costs, and conserve energy and reduce power consumption.
