What our work is measured against

Your plant's inspection program stays yours. We build our findings so they drop straight into it — same language, same references, same intervals.

How it goes

Four steps, in this order

The sequence matters: nobody plans a lift before someone has stood under the runway and read the existing tags.

01 / Survey

Walk the runway

Crane class and duty, hook height, rail condition, existing tags and log entries, and how the crane is actually used on a bad day.

02 / Plan

Write the plan

Lift plan and rigging plan, load path and lift points, clearances, and the outage window that costs you the least production.

03 / Execute

Install, test, inspect

Installation and alignment, function and limit checks, load test where required. Deficiencies written up line by line, with photos.

04 / Document

Tag it and hand it over

Inspection tag on the crane, entries in your logbook, and a report your EHS lead, insurer, or OSHA inspector can follow without a phone call.

About

Erie shop, Erie work

Stevens Industrial Solutions was founded in 2017 and works out of 1903 West 8th Street on Erie's west side. Our customers are the plants, mills, machine shops, warehouses, and contractors that run overhead cranes every day — the ones who need a lift that is documented, not just done.

We stay small on purpose. The people who survey your crane are the people who test it, write it up, and answer the phone when your maintenance lead has a question about the report.
