E-Crane International is currently installing barge handling systems for AEP Kyger Creek, AEP Clifty Creek and Power South (AEC Lowman) providing a complete solution to their material handling needs.According to the company their floating material handling platform is the ideal solution when there is no or little existing infrastructure, and when environmental issues prohibit the construction of a permanent infrastructure or if the client needs the flexibility a floating, moveable system offers.
