GAEL in Industry New Zealand Steel Industrial Motor Control

New Zealand Steel commissioned GAEL Switchboards to manufacture two suites of variable speed drive equipment and distribution equipment enclosures for High Bay Cranes in their slab making plant.

The contract called for delivery in two parts. First was equipment for the East Crane comprising a main distribution board, main hoist panel, long travel panel, auxiliary hoist panel and cross traverse panel. A month later delivery of equipment for the West Crane was required.

New Zealand Steel's Ray Burden stated:

"The GAEL team performed beyond our expectations. The engineering team came up with sound technical solutions, kept us well informed on progress and were professional throughout the contract. The witness testing demonstrated a high level of competence and the GAEL people were really good to work with. We would have total confidence in using the team at GAEL on future contracts".
