Through innovation and cutting-edge technology, provide sound engineering solutions while improving equipment efficiency, reliability, and safety. Achieve the highest level of customer satisfaction throughout all stages of the project including, project management, engineering, fabrication, installation, and final commissioning. Initially founded in 1989, Pro-Direct Industriel Inc. (PDI) implemented sound engineering equipment solutions within the material handling industry. As an exclusive representative for many High- Tech Industrial Products, PDI soon became a systems integrator offering Turnkey Installations specializing in mechanical and electrical modernizations on all types of Custom Cranes. PDI s solid reputation achieved by successfully completing major crane projects for the most demanding applications had ultimately forced PDI to expand operations in order to meet increased customers demands. In 1990, PDI introduced the engineering and fabrication of fully enclosed and ventilated Custom Built Operator s Crane Cabins and Electrical Control Rooms, which soon became a standard of excellence within the complete range of PDI products & services. In 1998, PDI purchased Station 2000, custom built Operator Stations, in order to provide ergonomics and flexibility while complementing the Operator s Crane Cabins. In 2005, PDI pursued its efforts in offering Sound Engineering Solutions by joining the world of Custom Cranes manufacturing and incorporated an extensive line of standard overhead & gantry cranes, jib cranes, monorail systems, trolleys, hoists, and specialized below the hook devices. In 2010, PDI Solutions was launched; a division fully dedicated in providing Custom Overhead & Gantry Cranes while using PDI s basic principles employed since day one... that is source the best Industrial Equipments & Fabricators while building the equipment in accordance to customer specifications. PDI Solutions continues a long standing tradition of delivering the highest quality product supported by a dedicated team of highly qualified technical personnel. PDI Solutions, your Standard & Custom Crane care center, looks forward in serving you soon.
