With the growing popularity of craft beers, Great Lakes Brewing Company (GLBC), Cleveland, Ohio, saw an increase of 20% in 2013. With future plans to expand into new markets, the company made the decision to undertake a $7 million expansion of the brewery's tanks in 2014.
GLBC is in a tightly packed, urban area, and the four new tanks would be installed on the edge of a busy parking lot. There would be close-by buildings, vehicles and overhead power lines to tackle in this project.
The BlueLift B72 represents the state of the art in compact tracked lifts. Even though it measures as little as 3'1" wide and 14'9" long for travel, the agile lift delivers up to 66 ft. of platform height, as much as 36 ft. of horizontal reach, and 440-lb. unrestricted platform capacity.
Its standard features include electronic CANbus controls; several choices of power source; electricity and air or water to the platform; and function memory that increases efficiency for repeated movements.
Built to work indoors or out, the BlueLift B72 has the versatility to meet the needs of widely varied applications ranging from tree care, to construction, building maintenance, industrial work, and window cleaning. The machine is rated for work in winds up to 28 mph.
