Father and Son Develop Material Handler for Complex Rigging Jobs
Construction industry veteran Art Mora worked in a huge number of jobs in Southern California that required heavy lifting in tight areas, along with the rigging devices utilised in these areas were often awkward and dangerous.
��Often times, we required to lift heavy loads, for example piping systems, mechanical components, pumps, vents, along with tools,�� Art said of his two-and-a-half decades in construction. ��The rigging tools on the jobs were never competent to position properly. They’re time-consuming and dangerous, often requiring workers to climb ladders and operate in hazardous circumstances.�� But of asking for frustrated with the situation, Art was determined to get a fix to make complex rigging safer and easier.
For that first few years, Art and his awesome son John sold the mobile crane to companies they worked for inside field, including Western Air and Refrigeration. ��We literally were using your own tool on the jobsites,�� Art said. ��Rrt had been liberating ? but frustrating concurrently that we couldn’t focus on getting this stuff out in the market because there were day jobs.��
A tad bit more than eight years back, Art developed the 1st prototype in the mobile crane, a small material-handling machine with fully adjustable legs that rolls on 9-inch casters. Not only may be the machine adjustable and maneuverable, though the EZ-RIG CRANE fits through 3-foot doorways as well as in tight spaces. Its design allows the crane to spread its legs with outriggers and extend its boom to 18 feet, with the ability to lift, pull, drop, drag, and wrap up to two,500 pounds through an electric winch and 150 feet of cable.
However, in just a two years, John had taken over the organization aspect of EZ-RIG quality crane while Art concentrated on manufacturing and design. ��In 2006, we dedicated ourselves towards the business, and we’re seeing results,�� John said.
The organization is growing steadily, plus the mobile crane is benefiting plumbing contractors, HVAC businesses, sheet metal contractors, pipe fitters, along with companies within the field that require equipment for projects which range from hanging statues off museums to loading materials onto boats. Today, EZ-RIG CRANES are ordered with a variety of commercial and private clients throughout California, including Southland Industries and AAMCO.
