Handling Systems International Inc. (HSI), of La Grange, Illinois, launched the NikoRail enclosed track crane product offering at ProMat show, which took place 8-11 April at Chicago’s McCormick Place. The product will complement the existing range of jibs, gantries, and I-beam cranes and runways.

“We’ve partnered with Helm Hellas from Greece to provide us with the rail and a full line of hardware and components to offer some unique material handling solutions. We are bringing in the raw, roll formed steel and welding the cranes right here in our new McCook facility,” said Mike Rehor, vice president of sales and marketing at HSI.

“We have seen strong demand for enclosed track cranes over the past several years and this product complements our dealers’ desire to have an alternative source and Midwest manufacturer of enclosed track cranes. Our new facility will allow us to more easily manufacture this product and service our partners’ needs.”
