Heavy Duty Electric Chain Hoist Performs in Tough foundry Applications

A foundry in Indiana was fighting a losing battle with their aging fleet of air hoists. Maintenance costs and downtime were increasing, and replacement parts were becoming hard to get. While their perception that the severity of the application pointed to the air hoist, the heavy duty electric chain hoist held appeal due to reliability, fewer parts, and ease of operation. They decided to try the electric chain hoist by installing it in their most demanding application. The electric chain hoist performed well in this test, and the foundry was convinced that modern heavy duty electric chain hoists can be an appropriate choice for demanding applications like theirs.
