\"\"If there is one thing that sets the Crane Manufacturers Association of America (CMAA) apart from other industry groups, it is the preparation and marketing of its standards.\u00a0 The group takes this extremely seriously and is working to be the go-to resource for crane information and expertise.\u00a0 Recently, MHI Solutions<\/em> spoke with industry stakeholders to better understand how leading crane manufacturers are promoting the standardization of cranes.<\/p>\n

Dan Beilfuss, vice president of the CMAA Engineering Committee and director of Material Handling for the Magnetek subsidiary of MHI Member Columbus McKinnon Corporation, credits CMAA\u2019s Engineering Committee and Service and Safety Committee for standards development. \u201cThese committees are made up of a combination of engineers of various disciplines, technical professionals, overhead crane service and safety professionals and business leaders within the overhead crane and hoist industry.\u00a0 The CMAA committee members who work on the specifications work for CMAA member companies, including crane and hoist OEMs, service companies, and component suppliers to the crane industry,\u201d Beilfuss explained.<\/p>\n

The 28-year industry veteran goes on to explain how the CMAA positions itself as the industry expert for overhead material handling. \u201cEngineering delegates of the CMAA Engineering Committee must meet one of the following criteria.\u00a0 They must hold a bachelor\u2019s of science degree in engineering or engineering technology and have at least five years of engineering work experience for crane related equipment. Or, they can hold an associate\u2019s degree in engineering or engineering technology and have at least ten years of engineering work experience for crane related equipment.\u201d<\/p>\n
