EMH Crane Custom Engineers --40ºC GE Twin Jet Engine Test Site Hoists

EMH was contacted by Standard Aero, an international aircraft-engineering firm to help develop a unique Jet Engine Test Stand for a GE cold weather test facility. The hoist application had to be capable of precision operation in minus 40° centigrade temperatures. Two EMH Hoists were run in tandem and tested to 125% of their 50-ton capacity, 25-ton duty on each hoist. With intense cold, every facet of the hoist application had to be custom-engineered and required a factory 125% load test as well and witnessed by GE engineering.
