A client who manufactures parts for the auto industry was re-tooling to produce a new product. This project called for four new cranes and runways in order to meet production demand. Our client presented us with a tight timeline for delivery to ensure they could meet a new market opportunity as soon as possible.

The team at Overhead Crane Consultants was contracted to assist in the development of the project. Our role involved working with our client to determine their exact operating parameters, writing the technical specifications for the required system, and identifying all suitable suppliers (bidders) for the cranes. The client had a preferred supplier who had provided their equipment in the past, but we chose to ensure that the client received the best-suited equipment for the job by reviewing other suppliers as well. Once the bid packages were released, the bid process proceeded with no delays and minimal technical and commercial questions from the bidders on account of our extensive research.

The team at Overhead Crane Consultants swiftly assessed all bids using a spreadsheet analysis tool to determine compliance with all the technical and commercial requirements of the project, a process that helped us make the right choice. The best solution for our client was very obvious and a decision to award the contract was made clearly and quickly. On account of our role in the project, our client saved over $300,000, while receiving timely delivery and a technical superiority that was not available with their original choice.
