• Business: Fabricated Stone
• Product type: Free Standing Work Station Crane
• Lifting Device: Chain Hoist (provided by others)

The Problem:
Prior to the Work Station Crane System, the operation was performed with IBeam jibs.

• This is a huge job and is very physically taxing on the people lifting these massive slabs. Imagine the potential for injuries if this slab had dropped on any of them.
• When the pieces are manually lifted, the potential for product damage is great. The results of such damage? A costly piece of unusable material and an angry customer who will have to hand pick a different piece.
• The larger pieces are moved with a fork truck. Workers have to take time to clear a path to drive past computers and equipment in very tight quarters.

Why Gorbel Was The Smart Solution:
The employees appreciate not having to manually push heavy stone around all day. The crane system has helped to recruit and retain good employees by allowing them to work in a safe environment.
