WOBURN, Massachusetts – North American Industries (NAI) is designing and building five overhead bridge cranes for an Army Aviation Support Facility in Cheyenne, WY. The cranes range from 0.5 ton to 10 tons in capacity and will be essential pieces of equipment for operations at the military installation. NAI is working with the general contractor, owner, and other parties on the Cheyenne aviation facility to ensure the cranes meet minimum clearance requirements so as to avoid conflicts with sectional doors. NAI is also planning the production schedule in its manufacturing facility to help the general contractor meet project deadlines. An NAI crane technician has recently visited the site for a pre-installation walk-through, and crane installation will occur in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Warren Air Force Base, will be set up to provide maintenance to Black Hawk helicopters. The plan calls for a specially designed and equipped ‘deconstruction’
