Hoist drive systems
We have extensive experience in many styles of lifting hoists and their drive controls for all types of applications, including single drum, double drum, friction (Koepe) service or skip hoists, for single or multi-level hoisting and conical drum hoists. These can be among the most technically advanced hoists available to the industry.
We have vast experience in hoist drive control systems, including MG sets, synchronous motor sets, wound rotor motors and controls, solid-state controls with DC motors, DC generators, and DC motors and their control systems.
In addition, we have experience with the latest technology in AC drives paired with matching AFE drives and AC vector motor controls for production hoists and service hoists. We also have experience with retrofits on escape / emergency hoists.
Hoist drive control equipment maintenance services
For our valued customers we offer preventative maintenance programs to assist and establish a means of determining any future and or present issues with their hoist drive control equipment.
Having a preventative maintenance program established allows customers a means of scheduling / planning for downtime as well as a ‘plan ahead’ type of approach for their equipment, in order to keep it in top running order, with very few expensive, unnecessary shut downs and disruptions.
