Midwest Engineered Systems (MWES) has enhanced its fabrication capabilities with the addition of a substantial new crane system in one of its primary build bays, strengthening the company’s capacity to support large-scale web handling and converting projects.
To support increasingly complex and heavy-duty production systems, this upgraded crane spans 3,150 square feet and features two 11-ton bridge cranes with more than 150 feet of traverse—enabling MWES engineers and technicians to lift, position, and assemble large components with improved precision and efficiency.
The expanded build bay capacity is critical for the Web Handling & Converting group, where tight tolerances, heavy structures, and complex assemblies are common in custom automation systems. With this enhancement, MWES can more effectively construct and integrate larger web handling modules, unwind/rewind systems, slitting and laminating equipment, and other high-tolerance mechanical assemblies.
This infrastructure improvement reflects MWES’s ongoing commitment to meeting customer needs through thoughtful engineering and facility investment. By equipping its build bays with advanced lifting and handling technology, MWES is better positioned to deliver robust web handling solutions that meet tight production schedules and stringent quality expectations.
