News

Now in our 101st consecutive year of business, we want to thank the countless THOUSANDS of employees and customers who have made our time in this industry such a great success.  Originally founded in downtown New Orleans in 1909 as the Standard Supply Company, we have maintained state-wide operations since the 1920's.  As the times have changed, so has our business (including a name change in 2006), but one thing has always remained the same:  A commitment from each employee to great customer service!

Did you know???  Standard has been a Yale Hoist master distributor as far back as 1929?  The Standard Supply General Catalogue "C" dated 1929 shows a Yale 6-ton electric wire rope hoist on Page 337 for either A/C or D/C service.

Standard Crane employs Field ID Crane Inspection Software.  This system for crane inspection data management insures fast and efficient crane safety inspections, as well as, comprehensive and timely inspection reports and corrective action reports.  Note that Field ID has undergone a major upgrade in 2009, and now employs new 'cloud computing' web-based technological advancements.  Ask us how Field ID can simplify the task of tracking your periodic inspections (as required by OSHA).
 

A unique job:  Below is a very interesting picture of a turnkey crane and hoist job performed by Standard Crane in early 2010.  In the picture, you will see a number of jib cranes to the left on the floor, that can move work pieces to and from machining centers.  There is also a free standing overhead crane system to the right that moves pieces up and down the line, as well as, there are several 5 and 10 ton top running double girder overhead bridge cranes running on the top-most crane rails that deliver large loads to and from this work area.  By integrating all 3 types of the cranes, the customer facility is extremely efficient in handling its product.  No forklifts will be utilized in this factory once the machine tools are finished getting set up.
