Cleveland, Ohio, – Terex Material Handling announced an order for six Demag Heavy Duty 2.5 ton Monorail Hoists and two Demag Top Running Single Girder 5 ton cranes from Western Technologies.

Chris Mason, co-owner and head of engineering for Western Technologies, stated “we have chosen to work with Demag transport equipment exclusively because their hoists, cranes, and drive motors are the best available on the world market. The Demag equipment is unsurpassed in its functionality, operation, and durability in the harsh environment of the galvanizing process.”
