Shout out to Material Handling Systems. Yesterday our overhead cranes went down on one side of the shop, MHS is a newer company to the area and working on building local relationships. They had 3 service techs here at 9am this morning and our cranes working by 10. They will be returning in the coming weeks for some service and OSHA inspections. Fast friendly staff that we look forward to working with in the future as we continue to expand our product line up.

Anyone in the central/ western PA area needing crane and lift work I highly recommend MHS. We had very little down time in the shop thanks to them!

"When a friend asks for help, you help them" As a 65 year old multi-generational family owned business we strive to be family oriented and community minded. When one of our local friends and legion member reached out that the target supplier for an upcoming black powder shoot he was helping to organize fell through we jumped in to help! Lucky for them we already had a slab of 5/8 plate getting cut from one of our steel suppliers so a few minutes to draw these up and fit them into the plate. Some orange paint and they are ready to get hammered with lead!

We have a handful of extras on stock unpainted if anyone local is looking for some for personal use.

This year we were contacted by Santa to help with a special project for our own little James. Santa heard James was looking for a truck and trailer to match his dad's, the elves were able to take care of the truck but needed a custom fabrication team to handle the trailer. I think we nailed it and had a very happy 3 year old on Christmas morning.

You might catch James out on the open road trucking steel and equipment for us in the future!
