GCI - Solutions in the 1970's
Year | Location | Solution Application | Solution Description |
1970 | San Diego, CA | Chemical Process Solution | Aerospace manufacturing solution consisted of a crane system consisting of a 40 ft. span crane operating on approximately 2 x 325 lineal feet of patented track over 55 tanks, spray booths, ovens, drying and load/unload stations. The process required the crane to interlock with a power & free delivery system, as well as existing patented track cranes and monorails. |
1971 | Los Angeles, CA | Aircraft Teleplatform Solution | Aircraft maintenance solution consisted of a Teleplatform maintenance system for B-747 aircraft consisting of two (2) interlocking all-aluminum two (2) runway bridge cranes each with 90 ft. span. Each crane operates along 2 x 448 lineal feet of patented track runway. One (1) all-aluminum rotating telescoping Teleplatform with complete on-board services plus a 10 ton auxiliary crane trolley service the aircraft. |
1972 | Los Angeles, CA | Automated Dispatch Solution | Food processing solution consisted of an automated monorail system with demanding service consisting of approximately 2000 lineal feet of patented track, 17 monorail track switches, 2 incline/decline sections of track and 1 lift station. System included 34 monorail carriers each having two buckets that rotate to dump product. |
1972 | San Diego, CA | Storage and Retrieval Solution | Aerospace manufacturing solution consisted of four (4) interlocking patented track turntable crane systems storing and retrieving aircraft skins on 46 patented track storage spurs. The entire system of 2,500 feet of patented track was floor supported. The system connected to patented track monorails to transfer the product to various process operations. |
1972 | Los Angeles, CA | Aircraft Maintenance Solution | Aircraft maintenance facility solution consisted of 26 patented track cranes operating on approximately 4,126 lineal feet of patented track runway. Solution consisted of numerous interlocking cranes, crossovers, and monorail spurs. Thirty hoists/trolleys operated throughout the cranes. |
1975 | Industry, CA | Patented Track Solution | Industrial gear manufacturing solution consisted of eleven (11) patented track bridge crane systems operating on 2,900 lineal feet of patented track runways and 3 jib crane systems. |
1975 | Long Beach, CA | Storage and Retrieval Solution | Industrial hose manufacturing solution consisted of a 12 ton capacity double girder patented track interlocking crane with a 360 degree rotary telescoping mandril stacker crane trolley operating along 2 x 390 ft. of patented track runway. |
