Midwest Brake Install 23 Ton OverHead Crane

 

    Midwest Brake installed a new Street 25 ton / 15 ton auxiliary overhead crane in the       main assembly bay.


This crane was installed to increase capacity and to handle larger, heavier clutch/brake drive assemblies and press components. 

Additionally, it allows us to shorten the assembly time for our Press Pac© product line

    The hoist brake has been equipped with the Midwest Brake Electro Shear© Motor Brake. The              Electro Shear®© brake      is a multiple disc, oil shear brake designed to maximize the uptime and        reliability over that of the OEM style brake.
