Precision handling with care
February 1st 2006

To safely and efficiently handle a throughput of 240,000t of float glass at a new Russian facility, Pilkington has invested over one million Euros (about £700,000) in advanced overhead cranes from UK specialist Street Crane Company.

Glass must be handled with care and precision at every stage of the production process.

Street equipment is engineered to give speedcontrolled movement for greatest load stability and precise low-speed placement. The company's overhead cranes are often the first choice for both glass plants and downstream distribution.

The Moscow contract included the supply, delivery and commissioning of 11 cranes.
