Quality Assurance Tailored for You
Quality Assurance and Testing
American Crane and Equipment Corporation places the highest importance on maintaining a robust and effective quality assurance and testing program that benefits the company’s reputation as a global provider of safety-related and important to safety products and services.
ACECO has graded levels of quality programs available to match its customers’ specific quality program needs. These programs range from a nuclear quality assurance program (QAM-96) to a standard commercial quality program (SQP-96).
American Crane’s Nuclear Quality Program (QAM-96) provides complete compliance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix B and NQA-1. An Augmented Standard Quality Assurance Program (ASQP-96) can be implemented that embodies many elements of and meets the intent of ISO 9001.
ACECO’s ASQP-96 program is job-specific and augments the standard quality program with applicable implementing procedures from our Nuclear Quality Assurance Program (QAM-96) to meet or exceed the customer’s contract requirements.

This program has been used to provide safety related, single failure proof cranes and trolleys to nuclear power plants for dry spent fuel storage projects as well as other critical lift material handling applications.
ACECO incorporates a three-prong approach to maintain an impeccable quality assurance program:
- Comprehensive Quality Procedures
- Thorough implementation of the processes identified in the procedures
- A culture of ownership and accountability of ACECO’s Quality Program by all employees
