Twinsburg, OH -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/14/2014 -- Unique Challenges Met by the Custom Manufacturing Team at Copperloy

Copperloy recently completed a custom manufacturing job for a mining and tunneling industry client who had a set of unique specifications and difficulties which other equipment, and other companies, had been unable to adequately solve. It's just the latest example of the excellence of Copperloy's custom fabrication and design services, and the high quality of its material handling equipment.

In this specific case, the client required large amounts of rebar to be utilized in the tunneling process. However, attempts at trucking or railing such large loads for installation proved to be inefficient, and a major challenge for the company's output and overall capabilities.

Copperloy was able to produce a unique heavy-duty steel pallet to handle this task. The engineering team at Copperloy coordinated with the client's own engineers to produce a special design for a 40,000 lb. capacity pallet, in both a 13-foot and 26-foot length. Not only that, but it was a custom design and build job that required the use of both a lift truck and crane

After working with Copperloy and their custom engineering team for this design and build, the mining company was able to quickly, efficiently and safely transport large quantities of rebar. This was a unique challenge presented to Copperloy and Copperloy is proud to have exceeded the company's expectations.

With more than 50 years of experience with material handling equipment, this is one of many examples of Copperloy delivering a positive outcome in the face of seemingly long odds. Copperloy's custom design and build team utilizes a 70,000 square foot facility with the latest and best manufacturing and designing equipment to regularly provide robust, high quality equipment and solutions just like this.

Copperloy specializes in loading dock equipment and material handling equipment, producing an extensive array of yard ramps, edge of dock levelers, dock lifts and lift tables, dock boards and plates, railboards, portable platforms, and more.

The mining industry is just one of dozens of different industries with which Copperloy has extensive experience.

Buying a Yard Ramp Is More Cost Effective Instructs Copperloy, Material Handling Equipment Leader

Twinsburg, OH -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/19/2013 -- Business owners and managers have a choice in the material handling equipment they utilize in terms of either renting or buying. When it comes to yard ramps and other similar gear, buying is a superior and more cost-effective option, and it can pay big dividends for businesses and facilities of all kinds.

Renting yard ramps can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $2,000 per month. If a business needs to rent a ramp three or four times over the course of several years, that represents a huge cash outlay for not being the owner of the equipment. Month by month rentals also are generally the shortest term length available, meaning that renting this type of gear for a single day or week and a very short term need isn't really feasible.

Additionally, the rental agreement for a yard ramp is similar to rental cars, wherein the renter is responsible for any damage or repairs. This can add a significant cost to that already high upfront price, as well as the security deposit which must be put down.

Even worse for the renter is that the condition of the ramp isn't guaranteed. It can be in a state of disrepair, leading to poor or unsafe operation, or repairs which the renter ends up being charged for even if they were not responsible for the damage.

Meanwhile, needing a yard ramp, or an additional yard ramp, for a short-term need doesn't guarantee the need for one in the future. However, investing in one allows any business to expand, and enjoy greater capabilities, versatility and potential output and profitability.

Copperloy is an industry leader for yard ramps and material handling equipment. With more than 50 years of experience, they understand the ins and outs of material handling and other logistics operations across many different industries.

They produce high quality yard ramps including mobile ramps and dock to ground ramps, as well as additional equipment such as edge of dock levelers, dockboards and dock plates, lift tables and portable platforms.

Twinsburg, OH -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/24/2013 -- Railboards present a serious logistical challenge for the companies and facilities which depend upon them day in, and day out, for the successful operation of their businesses. When ALCOA was in such a position and needed a new, specially designed railboard in order to meet their requirements for increased safety standards and reliability, Copperloy was tasked to come up with a high quality solution.

ALCOA was concerned about safety during the usage of their railboard, which at 100 inches in width, was far more narrow than the opening of their railcar doors, which was 148 inches. In this instance, a forklift could drift too far forward with nothing inhibiting its motion, and fall into the gap between the loading dock and railcar, a hazardous and undesirable circumstance.

Copperloy's engineers were able to come up with a unique answer to this safety concern, by designing "wings" for the car end of the railboard, increasing its width to 202 inches, more than double the original size.

The wings now serve to prevent the forklift from traveling any further forward once they hit the side of the railcar. At the same time though, and equally important, the lip of the 100 inch board can still safely project 9 inches into the railcar for smooth operation.

Copperloy is a leading manufacturer of high quality, dependable loading dock and material handling equipment. They have more than 50 years of experience, and all of their products are proudly made in the USA.

With an entirely in-house engineering team, they are able to precisely design, create and build customized products to meet even the most difficult or unique specifications and circumstances. Their custom work with ALCOA is just one example of the many custom dockboards and pieces of material handling equipment they have carefully, proudly and successfully crafted for their clients.

The ALCOA railboard is currently in use by the company, and they are satisfied with having their needs for safety and reliability completely met.
