Ace World Companies has installed two 250-ton capacity cranes, each with 25-ton capacity auxiliary hoists, at a new manufacturing facility at Cape Canaveral.
Ace provided the 201-feet span cranes for an aerospace manufacturer and sub-orbital spaceflight services company. A third-party consultant provided the failure modes and effects analysis to specified NASA standards.
The cranes, weighing one million pounds each, are operated by radio remote control, and will work both independently and in tandem to lift a variety of loads, as required by the site’s assembly operations. Ace was responsible for installation of 1,000 linear feet of 175-lb. crane rail and electrification power bar for the 500-feet-long runways.

Ace World Companies, Electric Overhead Traveling (EOT) crane and wire rope hoist manufacturer has opened its third facility in Clinton, Tennessee.
The company, based in Fort Worth, Texas, opened a factory in Knoxville, Tennessee, in 2010 to increase crane building capacity and a panel shop in Pewaukee, Wisconsin two years’ ago.
The Clinton factory will eventually replace the Knoxville site, manufacturing larger cranes and increase annual production.
“We will primarily be focused on the fabrication of the bridge and the full assembly of the overhead cranes, including completion of the factory acceptance test with the customer before shipment. It will not change what happens in Fort Worth. We have ruled out expansion of other existing facilities at this time,” said Kevin Beavers, executive VP, Ace.
In the 35 years since its first release, Nicolas Roeg’s “The Man Who Fell to Earth” has attained such cult status that it was remade in 1987 for television, and its poster can be glimpsed in the recent “Green Lantern.” It centers on an eerie performance by rock star David Bowie, as an alien from a drought-stricken planet who journeys to Earth in search of water. Bowie, slender, elegant, remote, evokes this alien so successfully that one could say, without irony, this was a role he was born to play.
