UES designed all boom sections, jibs, masts, and a customized trailing counterweight along with a rating chart.

UES designed the new luffing attachment to be more versatile and user-friendly for this class of crane.

UES has designed many different boom and torsion box sets for this boom truck manufacturer.

UES designed 5 distinct capacity rigs from a clean sheet design.  These rigs are customized for the shale oil wells in North America, and are entirely craneless to erect.

UES designed a shortened mast version of an existing drill that was to be used under high voltage power lines.  Precise reeving, a special sled, and custom Kelly bar were also employed to achieve the goals of the project.  

UES designed a multiposition system for the mast on this drill that allows for precise placement of blast charges.  UES also integrated this mast and armature into the existing Atlas Copco versions.

UES provided a turnkey system with this manlift in order for Grove to enter the Asian market.  The rubber crawler was a first of its kind.  UES’s scope was to design, build, test, and certify this product, which all occurred over an 8 month timeframe.

UES designed approximately six different classes of lift and access machines within a 2 yr timespan.  This was during a high growth period in the lift market.

UES adapted an existing manlift design to operate on electric power vs. dual fuel as well as comply with hazardous environmental conditions.

UES traveled to Germany to assist in integrating this utility tractor class into the Zweibrucken facility.  All components were assessed for compliance with the design, and the project was managed solely by UES personnel.

UES designed a new cleaning shoe, shaker separators, and fan blade system for John Deere from a clean sheet design.

UES assisted BVI in the creation of engineering documentation package for many seeding and tillage components in order to assist BVI in achieving growth targets.

UES designed a knuckle boom crane for log loading applications.  More specifically, UES wrote a program for Timberjack to predict loads and forces in the boom at various positions.  This was used as a basis for design in other products.

UES improved the robustness of this design through customer feedback and some noted areas of improvement by the customer.

UES designed the knuckle boom upper section and grapple for a delimbing application.  Due to UES’s work, the product was able to be warrantied for double the hours that similar competitive units were listed.

UES created a virtual prototype using ANSYS software that was verified to empirical data and employed for design of structural resiliency.

UES is well known in the fire apparatus industry to develop specific body designs, aerial ladders and platforms (both steel and aluminum), torision boxes, pump systems, and overall improvement of the technical knowledge of the product line.

UES assisted with studying roading conditions and structural responses , on-road vibrations, and other special studies.

UES designed an iteration of a rotary mill and conveyor system as a line extension for a key client.  Key differentiators were the common tooth and socket profile of the mill as well as an accumulation system to remove debris from the head.

UES designed a wildly successful remix machine for asphalt paving.  This machine was designed to accept multiple engine packages as well as ease of use for the operator.  This machine was a best seller for our client for many years.

UES conducted analyses of components to streamline production and to add value to customers.

UES upgraded an existing mining truck to accommodate higher tonnage capacities and improve the efficiencies of Liebherr’s customers.

UES analyzed and modified several stackers to accommodate specific customer capacities, speeds, requirements, etc.

UES designed new carbodies and crawler systems to adapt to existing mining conveyors and stackers.  UES also performed fatigue analysis on a majority of components in this system for reliability assurances.  These stackers primarily operate in the American Southwest for gold and copper leach pit mining operations.
