Capco Delivers Crane System in One Week

“ASAP… one week.” Those were the words Capco Crane & Hoist Inc. heard when they received a call from longtime customer Nypro Medical.

A manufacturer of medical equipment, Nypro Medical asked Capco to “produce a freestanding crane system in record time” for their plant in the Boston MetroWest area location. “They want to set up a room, ASAP, to produce ventilators for hospitals,” says Capco management.

With the outbreak of COVID-19 spreading across the world and threatening to shake our economy and the health of our citizens, material handling companies like Capco Crane & Hoist Inc., which specializes in overhead material handling systems, are being called on in a time of great need. The United States alone has reported thousands hospitalized with COVID-19 and our healthcare systems are experiencing a shortage of supplies.

Given these unprecedented times, Capco Crane & Hoist understood that they must act fast.

“Speed is the key, they want a crane system that would normally be [finished in] about 12-14 weeks, but they want it designed, fabricated and installed in ONE week,” says Capco management.

Capco Crane & Hoist Inc. was asked to put everything aside to make this happen and without hesitation they said yes. Capco Crane & Hoist Inc. immediately sprang into action, ready to work 24/7 to get this done, not only to aid Nypro Medical, but to help the people that are in desperate need of ventilators.

Capco produced the freestanding crane system in record time.

“We feel it is essential to [be] helping them build the ventilators we all need, we are proud to do our part and we are capable of doing this!” adds Capco management.

Capco Crane & Hoist Inc. would like to give a shout out to their team working tirelessly around the clock this week. Jim Couturier, is Head Engineer and project lead. Tony Caputo, President at Capco Crane & Hoist Inc. will be vital at keeping other projects running to free up manpower.
