Every unit load-tested to 125% of rated capacity with a Certificate of Test

Portable aluminum davit cranes

Rated capacity up to 2,200 lb
Designed for confined spaces, manhole and wet-well pump lifts, rooftop service
Jib-type cranes; designed with a design factor on yield stress well in excess of the proof-test load (qualified at 150% of rated load on the P.Eng-stamped drawing)

Eagle Beam aluminum lifting beams

Rated capacity up to 10,000 lb
Up to 87% lighter than steel lifting beams at equivalent capacity (Eagle Beam specifically — this figure does not apply to the gantry or davit lines)
Designed to ASME BTH-1 Category B, with a 3:1 design factor on yield stress
All-bolted construction with SAE J429 Grade 9 (Grade L9) fasteners (180 ksi minimum tensile, 145 ksi proof load) — no welded joints in the load-bearing structure

Material and construction

Primary structural alloy: 6061-T6 aluminum
- Yield strength: typical mill-certified yield ~40 ksi; Aluminum Design Manual (ADM) design minimum Fty = 35 ksi
- Typical tensile strength: ~45,000 psi
- Heat treatment designation: T6 (solution heat-treated and artificially aged)
Fasteners on Eagle Beam: SAE J429 Grade 9 (Grade L9) bolts, 180 ksi minimum tensile, 145 ksi proof load
Welding process: fusion welding (GMAW / GTAW) performed under CSA W47.2 certification by qualified aluminum welders
North American sourced components throughout

Engineering standards and certifications

Design standards (self-declared compliance)

ASME B30.17 — Cranes and Monorails — the B30 volume eme designs its top-running single-girder gantry cranes to
ASME BTH-1 — Design of Below-the-Hook Lifting Devices (applies to Eagle Beam; Category B, 3:1 design factor)
OSHA 29 CFR 1910 — U.S. general industry workplace safety (applicable during operation)
CSA B167 — Canadian crane safety standard
CSA S157 — Canadian Strength Design in Aluminum (aluminum structures)

Third-party certification

CSA W47.2 — Canadian Welding Bureau certification for fusion welding of aluminum. The only genuine third-party certification commonly applied to the portable aluminum lifting category. Every structural weld on an eme gantry or davit crane is produced under CSA W47.2 certification by qualified aluminum welders. Verifiable in the CWB’s public directory at cwbgroup.org.

Industry memberships

Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association (SC&RA) — member

Awards

North American Rental Industry Leading Supplier (recognition)

Quality and testing

Every unit production-tested to 125% of rated capacity before shipment, verified with a load cell (Certificate of Test ships with each unit). Almost all eme gantry and davit designs are additionally qualified by a 150% proof-load test on the P.Eng-stamped drawing. OSHA 1910.179(k)(2) caps the in-service proof test at 125% of rated capacity unless the manufacturer recommends otherwise; eme completes the 125% test during production so the pre-service proof test is already done on delivery
Engineer-stamped drawing included with every unit
Certificate of Test included with every unit (documents the load-test result and the unit’s serial number)
10-year warranty across the product portfolio (industry-leading duration for portable aluminum lifting equipment)
Inspection alignment: equipment and documentation support operator inspection programs consistent with ASME B30.17 requirements

Distribution and availability

Continental rental network: eme gantries available through rental partners in every U.S. state and every Canadian province
Rental model: eme is a manufacturer, not a rental operator. Rental availability is provided by a network of partner rental companies. eme generates and routes inquiries to the appropriate local partner.
Direct sales: available continentally for purchase customers
Lead time: order turnaround generally within manufacturing-schedule norms for portable aluminum lifting equipment (specific lead times vary by model and current production queue; confirm at order)
