Danieli Wean of United Metals companies, a Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Italian based firm, contracted Carney-McNicholas, Inc. of Lorain and Youngstown, Ohio to move about a quarter million pounds of blueprint cases, file cabinets, and industrial grade print tubs from Youngstown to just outside Pittsburgh, Pa.
The move was spearheaded by veteran CM salesman and project manager Dennis Cleland, who oversaw the origin end of the process. CM movers deconstructed the cases, stacked up to nine feet in the air, and palletized the abbreviated metal towers. From there it was onto a motorized pallet jack and out an upper level window, where CM’s resident heavy machine operator and fifth-generation mover Timmy Carney manned the high picker. The picker dropped the loads onto the rear of CM trailers, where CM van operators Dave Boughton and Ken Bruns prepared the shipments for the hour-long ride to Pennsylvania.
Nine truckloads later, the destination CM crew, led by 6’9” mover Mike Moore and assisted by Parks Moving and Storage, an agency in the United Van Lines family, carefully organized and reset the collection of blueprint cases, many containing drawings and documents dating back to the 1920’s.
Moore’s height and sheer brawn proved to be an unmistakable asset to the operation, as there were no machines that can substitute for strength and reach needed to stack the tall cases.
According to their website, “Danieli Wean United is recognized as a worldwide leader in the supply of thin slab casters, top quality hot and cold rolling mills, strip processing lines and material handling equipment.” Although the Pittsburgh to Youngstown corridor is no longer the industrial hotbed it was a generation or two ago, the metal handling and processing capabilities of Danieli Wean United remain key to companies involved in the business of metal manipulation. In fact, in the history of industrialism, the company has implemented more processing lines and flat rolling mills than any other supplier.
