In 2007, we joined the MATERIAL HANDLING INDUSTRY OF AMERICA (MHIA) which is the leading trade association representing the material handling and logistics industry.  Members are material handling and logistics equipment, systems and software manufacturers; consultants; systems integrators and simulators; third party logistics providers and publishers representing the over $125 billion per year annual consumption of material handling and logistics equipment systems within the United States, as of 2005.

We are a CMAA “OEM Integrated Crane Manufacturer”.  CMAA, which is the CRANE MAnufacturer’s Association of America, Inc., an independent trade association affiliated with the United States Division of Material Handling Industry. The voluntary association of CMAA members has existed since 1955.  Member companies represent industry leaders in the overhead crane market.  We were notified of our acceptance following an interview and qualifications review in conjunction with a site visit of both our manufacturing, engineering and general office facilities by peers within the organization.

CMAA member companies are concerned, conscientious manufacturers affiliated in an industry association to provide voluntary standards for the mechanical, structural and electrical design of overhead cranes, and to formulate guidelines for the proper use, operation and maintenance of those cranes.

A number of our employees are members of AIST, which is the Association for Iron & Steel Technology.
