Sterett Crane Supports Critical Repairs at Grain Facility in Time for Harvest

At Sterett Crane, we are committed to helping industries across the Midwest keep operations running smoothly. Recently, our team was called to Cairo, Illinois, to assist a local grain company with critical conveyor repairs—a project that required both heavy lifting strength and weeks of precision planning.

The Challenge

The grain company needed to demo and replace aging conveyors essential to their day-to-day operations. These components were not only massive in scale but also deeply integrated into the facility’s structure, requiring careful dismantling and precise installation of replacements.

The Equipment: CC2800 Crawler Crane

To meet the demands of this long-term project, Sterett deployed our Demag CC2800 lattice-boom crawler crane. Known for its stability, mobility under load, and heavy-lift capabilities, the CC2800 was the perfect solution for handling large conveyor sections in a restricted industrial environment.

  • High  capacity crawler design allowed for efficient handling of oversized  conveyor sections.
  • Mobility  under load provided flexibility in navigating the facility’s tight layout.
  • Rigging  versatility ensured both demolition and replacement could be performed  with maximum safety.

The Team Behind the Work

While the CC2800 provided the muscle, it was our skilled operators, rigging crews, and project planners who ensured success. From the engineering drawings to the final lifts, their dedication to safety and precision was at the heart of this project.

Results That Matter

Thanks to careful planning and teamwork, the conveyor replacement was completed safely, efficiently, and on schedule. The Cairo grain facility now has upgraded systems in place to support the local agricultural economy for years to come.

At Sterett Crane, every project is about more than just heavy lifting—it’s about delivering solutions that keep industries moving. From grain facilities in the Midwest to industrial projects across the country, our fleet and our people are here to get the job done.
