Stock Material Handling Baskets

AAI Corp. needed specialized steel wire baskets to protect microphones that are mounted on military vehicles. The microphones are vital because they assist troops in locating the enemy by the sound of their gunfire. The welded covers had to be unfailingly dependable and able to stand up to extremely harsh conditions.

The basket request from Alcoa was hardly typical. The manufacturer of components for aviation and other technology industries needed a circular wire mesh basket, four feet in diameter. The basket needed handles so it could be lowered to fit inside a large tank, with the ability for the baskets to be stacked. The basket needed triangular hook attachments and no sharp edges. It would be exposed to extreme heat for short periods of time. And it had to be able to hoist up to 600 pounds of metal alloy parts.

The firearms manufacturer Beretta needed a custom steel wire basket to transport newly constructed pistol slides during its gun assembly process. The basket that Beretta required wasn't a particularly complicated design, but the dimensions and wire gauge needs were fairly exacting to accommodate the delicate slides.

We received all the baskets… and they are exactly what we were looking for. The designs are quite robust and we have already put them for use in our experiments. We are very happy about the overall response from you and your team and the timely delivery.

I'm glad to see your company is doing well in this economy. We are putting the novelty baskets you made us to good use; the quality is outstanding. Continued good luck and prosperity.
