E-Crane Proves the Clear Choice for AMG Resources’ New Shear Operation

Newark, NJ, USA – AMG resources boosts efficiency with Moros 1100 Shear and 700B E-Crane. Recently, they completed a significant upgrade to its operations with the installation of a powerful 1100-ton Moros 1100 Shear. The AMG team undertook an extensive evaluation of material handling solutions, ultimately selecting the E-Crane as the optimal choice, maximizing the shear’s productivity.

Key Highlights of the E-Crane Installation

After thorough research and site visits, the AMG team chose the 700B Series E-Crane configuration, tailored to meet their specific material handling needs:

• Model: 700B Series E-Crane
• Mount: Free-standing pedestal mount
• Reach: 86-foot / 26.2m reach
• Attachment: 1.63 yd³ / 1.25 m³ grapple
• Function: Handles a wide range of materials efficiently

Superior Operation and Cost Savings

The E-Crane’s design offers immediate operational and financial advantages over traditional mobile equipment:

• Maximum Efficiency: The crane is strategically positioned, allowing the operator to feed and control the shear directly from the cab, maximizing throughput.
• Enhanced Operator Environment: The operator benefits from a high vantage point, providing excellent visibility and a comfortable, ergonomic, and climate-controlled environment.
• Eliminated Fuel Costs: The stationary, electric-powered design removes the need for diesel fuel, drastically cutting operating expenses.
• Reduced Maintenance: Being an electric machine, it eliminates the maintenance associated with diesel engines.
• Increased Yard Space: The fixed pedestal design frees up valuable yard space that would otherwise be required for mobile equipment travel lanes.

Why AMG Chose E-Crane

The AMG team’s decision was solidified after visiting other E-Crane installations and seeing the system’s reliability firsthand.

“The simplicity, efficiency, electric power, and low cost of operation made the E-Crane a no-brainer.”

The team concluded that the E-Crane is a highly regarded material handling solution that will serve their operation well into the future, confirming that the partnership with E-Crane “was the right choice.”
