Nuclear Cranes & Equipment
PAR Systems is a leader in specialty cranes and radiation-tolerant handling solutions. We’re experts at lifting and moving extremely heavy loads, we can integrate cranes into nuclear handling systems and we’ve been building radiation-hardened equipment for handling materials in hazardous environments for decades.
Designing & manufacturing specialty cranes & remote handling systems for challenging & hazardous environments is one of our specialties.
We have engineered hundreds of intelligent solutions for challenging environments. Whether it’s new construction or decommissioning applications, radioactive or caustic environments, underwater applications, environments with explosive particulate and gasses, elevated temperature situations, or conventional munitions demilitarization, we have the experience to get the job safely.
Our experience with equipment for complex lifting applications & nuclear handling.
Operating in a nuclear facility requires an understanding of how systems will respond to the radioactive environment. 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.
Hard-earned expertise in challenging environments.
Radiation Tolerant Handling Equipment
We have designed, fabricated and supported cranes designed for radioactive environments for over 60 years. Our Ederer/Washington Crane legacy doubles that experience in commercial crane design and supply.
Specialty Cranes
Our cranes are being used on some of the largest and most critical material handling applications in the world. PAR Systems can create a first-of-a-kind solution when a standard “off the shelf” crane doesn’t meet your requirements.
PAR Systems has over 60 years of executing successful projects and has developed hundreds of product platforms across critical industry segments. Our platforms form the basis of thousands of solutions for complex applications.

The PAR Advantage
Experience
- In 1961, PAR began as a business in the nuclear arena
- Our first product, the M3000 manipulator, is still sold and supported today
- It takes deep expertise to create products that work in high radiation environments.
Innovation
- Unique customer problems require new thinking and new solutions like our TensileTruss technology which was used at Fukushima Daiichi and Chornobyl
- The ability to concept and build first-of-a-kind products lead to breakthrough solutions such as the Load Balancer for a reactor building crane
Dependability
- Customers return to PAR to replace or refurbish our older systems often 20-30 years later.
- Our long history in nuclear technology has helped us earn the trust of customers who return for second or third time replacement.
- We've been in business for over 60 years since 1961.
Partnership
- PAR designs, manufactures, tests, installs and supports all our machines and equipment
- We support our products for their entire usable life
- Customers can work directly with our design team
