Powering Precision in Heavy Lifting:
Uesco Cranes Meets Robbins & Myers

Uesco crane systems are specifically engineered to accept third-party hoists, creating robust material handling solutions for demanding environments. One of the most common and powerful pairings in the industry is a Uesco crane paired with Robbins & Myers (R&M) products.

R&M trolleys are designed with adjustable side plates and wheels to fit American I-Beams, Wide Fl**ge beams, and patented track profiles commonly used in Uesco single-girder bridge cranes and gantry systems.

The pairing of R&M with Uesco Cranes gives you a complete, high-performance lifting solution.
Don't settle for off-the-shelf. Connect with us to see how we can engineer a custom-integrated lifting solution for your facility.

After a decade of strategic planning, Uesco Industries is officially crossing the state line.

Last night, Jack Ferrino and I sat down with Fox 32 Chicago to discuss our $25M investment in Hammond, Indiana, and the groundbreaking of our new 75,000 SF state-of-the-art crane manufacturing headquarters.

For 10 years, we’ve searched for the right environment to consolidate our fragmented Illinois operations. We found it in Hammond. Mayor Thomas McDermott Jr. and his economic development team didn't just offer us a property; they offered us a true, pro-business partnership with direct freight access and an unmatched heavy-manufacturing workforce.

This isn't just a new building—it is a complete operational transformation. By consolidating under one roof with massive clear heights and custom-engineered runways, we are scaling our production capacity from 300 crane systems a year to well over 1,000. We are integrating advanced automation and scaling up to build larger, higher-capacity systems that will redefine our position in the national market.

We are targeting a Q4 2027 ribbon-cutting, but our economic impact starts today. We are actively hiring for sales and administrative roles right now, and by mid-summer next year, we will be heavily recruiting Northwest Indiana’s best welders, panel builders, electricians, and tradespeople to fire up production.

A massive thank you to our partners who made this complex deal a reality: Jack Ferrino and the team at 219 Development Services, Fifth Third Bank, EntreBank, Baker Tilly, PBS Building Services, Governor Mike Braun, and the City of Hammond Mayor's Office of Economic Development

We are proud to plant our flag in Northwest Indiana. The best is yet to come.
