Faced with increasing repair costs, poor reliability, and low productivity, the CCB Company needed a new way to handle material. Changes had to be made in a short period of time to stay operational and reduce costs.

Mr. Deceur, Project Manager for CCB, explained, "We are looking for solutions and Indusign/ECI provided us with all the information we were looking for in a short period of time. Their professional approach during the proposal process convinced us that the E-Crane was the answer and could do much more than we originally had in mind!"

The E-Crane™ not only offloads barges and feeds several hoppers; but the increased reach and stock-out capacity eliminates the need for additional hoppers and conveyer belts." This crane is mounted on a low portal on crawlers allowing the crane to work and maneuver in narrow spaces in the yard and along the dock.

The Crane has been in service for 4 years. Mr Deceur recently looked back on his decision and stated: "The excellent reliability and performance of the E-Crane™ has helped us to reduce cost and increase the capacity of our terminal."
