The depth of NAI’s engineering resources allows us to take on complex projects – from a 110 ton outdoor gantry crane for bridge and road repair to a custom-designed indoor lifting system for a US Military ordinance testing lab. Our sales and design engineers are accustomed to unique requirements, such as crane systems designed for high duty cycles, curved travel paths, tight dimensional constraints, precise positioning, asymmetrical loads, and extreme environmental conditions.
NAI sales engineers and design engineers partner with you to clarify your specific needs and determine the solution that will best meet them. Whether your project has crane specifications or is design/build, our focus is on evaluating your material handling needs and providing you with a solution that meets those needs as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.
After you place your order, NAI engineers coordinate with the project team to ensure that the crane equipment design meets all of your requirements. Your NAI project manager submits a design draft, called a clearance drawing, or a full engineering submittal to you for approval and makes any necessary revisions to ensure dimensions and details are correct. NAI does not begin the purchasing or fabrication process until you approve the design; in this way, you are assured of receiving the equipment that you require and that you have approved.
After receiving your approval, NAI engineers finalize design details and release the project to our operations group. Throughout the procurement and fabrication process, our engineers remain close to your project and available to consult on any issues that might arise, from procurement and fabrication through painting, shipping, documentation and installation; in this way, you are assured of consistency from design through build.
