The Cargill facility in Savage Minnesota needed to improve the productivity and volume of their barge offloading operation. For years,
the conventional cable crane and rope operated bucket was used at the "Port Cargill" facility - but increasing repair costs and poor
reliability made it clear that a change was needed.

Mr. Ricky Carlson, North American Operations and Engineering Manager for Cargill, explained, "the E-Crane™ is a key piece of equipment
in the upgrade of the Port Cargill facility. This crane combined with an upgrade in the hopper and conveyors substantially improves the
productivity of Port Cargill." The E-Crane™ at Port Cargill was commissioned in September 2000 and is mounted on a freestanding pedestal
with 81 feet of outreach.

Ms. Lisa Brickey, Terminal Superintendent said, "The E-Crane design is perfect for an operation such as ours. Its efficient operation
is a major step to increasing our volume."
