Metalphoto Provides a Durable Identification Solution for Offshore Crane Manufacturer

Seatrax Cranes

The Versatility of Metalphoto:

Seatrax experienced the perfect storm of identification issues: extreme operating conditions and short lead times; all with customized graphics for each crane project. Seatrax found Metalphoto photosensitive anodized aluminum to have similar or better durability characteristics than stainless steel, with less cost and quicker turnaround times.

Seatrax Cranes

Proven Durability:

Because The American Petroleum Institute (API) requires that all crane control operations and functions be clearly marked and easily visible by the operator, fading, corrosion and abrasion threaten the readability of identification items, impede safe operation, cost companies downtime and lead to regulatory fines.  Therefore, Seatrax specified Metalphoto for its durability – specifically its ability to survive sustained exposure to sunlight/UV, saltspray, abrasion, hydraulic fluids and solvent cleaners. Because of these benefits, Seatrax trusts Metalphoto for durable labels, load charts and operator control panels on their offshore cranes. To learn more click here.
