NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRIES MODERNIZES
ARMY VEHICLE SERVICE
April 2005
WOBURN, MA—North American
Industries, Inc. (NAI) has completed
its installations at Ft. Carson, CO,
after working around the clock for
several months helping the 7th Infantry
Division enhance its motor-pool repair
facilities with dozens of bridge and
jib cranes.
In each of twelve buildings, NAI
crews have installed a 10-ton double-girder
overhead bridge crane with a 52-foot
span, a fully fabricated 126 foot
long floor-supported runway system
in a multi-bay drive-through service
area for tanks and Bradley vehicles,
and four 7.5 ton motorized jib cranes.
Each of the jib cranes is servicing
two drive-through bays maintaining
Humvees and other personnel carrying
vehicles. The bridge cranes and runways
were custom- manufactured at NAI’s
Woburn headquarters.
This project overhauls the way the
7th Infantry Division repairs and
services its vehicles, by using overhead
bridge and jib cranes to lift engine
parts and handle heavy-duty parts
for tanks and tracked vehicles. NAI,
which produces heavy-duty Class “D” equipment
and custom-engineers every crane it
manufactures, turned out to be an
ideal partner for Ft. Carson, well
able to handle the complexity and
scope of the project, as well as its
demand for custom-manufactured and
specialized equipment.
As the armed forces continue to
explore new ways to service their
transportation fleets, NAI has begun
partnering with other military installations
in the United States and overseas,
including Fort Stewart AFB, and several US military installations in Korea.
North American Industries, Inc.
is a leading manufacturer of overhead
lifting systems. With sales worldwide, service and repair centers
nationwide, and experience
in the nuclear, foundry, steel service
center, concrete, and general manufacturing
industries, we have the expertise
to design, produce, install and service
Class D
heavy-duty cranes.
