Used Spanco Equipment Sold by Meadoworks

Spanco, Inc. was founded in 1979 by Richard Uhlig in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, making it one of the longer-standing independent overhead crane manufacturers in the United States. The company grew steadily over the following decades, eventually building a 95,000-square-foot core manufacturing facility in Morgantown, Pennsylvania, which remains its headquarters today. A second facility in Las Vegas, Nevada extends Spanco's reach to West Coast customers, and all products are made in the USA by American Welding Society certified fabricators.

Spanco's flagship product lines center on gantry cranes and mobile lifting systems. The gantry crane range spans the A-Series, E-Series, T-Series, and PF-Series, covering everything from lightweight aluminum portable units to heavy-duty steel cranes designed to be repositioned while under load. The T-Series is particularly well regarded for its true A-frame stability and adjustable span, while the PF-Series targets high-capacity, long-span applications with optional power drive kits. Beyond gantry cranes, Spanco produces jib cranes in wall-mounted and freestanding configurations, workstation bridge cranes, monorail systems, and industrial tripods.

Spanco cranes serve a broad cross-section of industries. Manufacturing plants, metal fabrication shops, automotive assembly facilities, aerospace contractors, warehouses, and construction operations all rely on Spanco equipment for daily material handling. Notable aerospace customers include Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, where Spanco jib cranes are used in F-16 and F-35 fighter jet production. The portability and no-runway design of Spanco gantry cranes also makes them popular with maintenance crews, contractors, and facilities operating in leased or multi-use spaces.

Buyers seeking used Spanco cranes on the secondary market are drawn by the brand's reputation for heavy-gauge steel construction, long service life, and compliance with CMAA, ANSI, and OSHA standards. Spanco's ISO 9001:2015 certification and industry-leading warranty — ten years on manual systems — signals build quality that holds up well over time. Replacement parts and accessories remain widely available, and the straightforward mechanical design of models like the T-Series and A-Series makes them easy to inspect, service, and redeploy in new facilities.
