American
Crane & Equipment Corporation (ACECO) is recognized
as one of the leading custom crane & material handling
manufacturers in the world. ACECO's cranes routinely
operate in many unique applications handling critical
loads such
as rocket engines, spacecraft, nuclear fuel and high
explosives. This equipment is built in accordance with
our Nuclear
Quality
Assurance Program. One
of the more complex custom projects the company has recently
supplied is equipment to demonstrate that a contaminated
nuclear site could be remotely de-contaminated using robotic
manipulators.
This
project featured 33 independent axles of motion to accomplish
the task, as well as a vacuum system.
Another
recent project involved developing a fuel handling system
to transfer commercial spent fuel outside of the fuel pool.
This project concentrated on developing equipment to handle
the very high radiation field.
ACECO
also routinely provides equipment to the US Department of
Energy for handling nuclear materials and other specialized
applications.
