High duty cycles? No problem!

A foundry in Indiana was spending a lot of time and money  maintaining it’s fleet of air hoists not to mention the downtime they were  experiencing as a result. They had previously only used air hoists because of  the heavy duty cycle of at capacity lifts. CraneWerks introduced the Harrington  electric chain hoist to the foundry and gave them a demo unit to try for 30  days. With the 60 minute duty cycle of a Harrington Hoist the results were not  surprising. The customer began to replace their entire fleet of air hoists with Harrington electric chain hoists and are currently enjoying the low maintenance benefits.
