Hoisting equipment is used in a variety of areas to support processing and handling throughout a facility:
Assembly: Moving products through production processes
Positioning: Securing a component for additional work
Transportation: Loading finished products onto open trailers or railcars
Staging: Holding work-in-process for additional production processes
Storage: Transporting heavy items to and from storage areas
Warehousing: Moving large, heavy products to and from docks.
Hoisting equipment assists in the lifting and positioning of large, heavy loads in a variety of industries, including:
Automotive
Chemicals
Commercial printing
Manufacturing
Newspaper
Paper
Steel
Warehousing and distribution
Hoisting equipment provides a variety of benefits:
Customizable – Hoisting equipment can be customized with below the hook attachments, end effectors or specialized tooling to handle a diverse variety of products and loads
Ergonomics – By doing the heavy lifting, hoisting equipment takes the strain off operators, reducing fatigue and lowering the risk of injury
Flexible – Hoisting equipment can be easily re-fitted for longer lifting capability
Indoor/outdoor use – Hoisting equipment can be used with equipment both inside a facility and outside, on the dock or in the yard
Lower maintenance costs – Incorporating the latest technologies and offered in a variety of usage and capacity ratings, hoisting equipment requires less maintenance compared to other lifting devices
Portable – Hoisting equipment can be easily transported from job to job or site to site
Positioning – Highly automated systems maneuver with the precision of one thousandth of the rated speed to an exact location
Reduction in product damage – By allowing for smooth, direct-path lifting over obstacles—with soft start features, multiple speed options and a variety of end effectors to interface with and secure the load—products are handled gently to minimize damage
Safety – Because they operate overhead and work in a specific area, hoisting equipment is less likely than forklift traffic to maneuver a load into personnel, walls, machinery or other obstacles
