Manta Ray Bay Resort & Yap Divers, located in Colonia, Yap, operates a unique floating restaurant housed in a 121-year-old Indonesian Phinisi sailing ship. The restaurant relies on a dumbwaiter system to efficiently transport items between the kitchen in the belly of the ship and the three service floors above.

Numie Acker, the General Manager at Manta Ray Bay Resort & Yap Divers, shared their experience working with Allied Power Products, Inc. (APPI):

“Allied Power Company was very accommodating and were willing to assist us in getting their product to us in Yap, FSM. The customer service was outstanding, and they took care of ensuring that we had received our product safely.

We have been pleased with their product as we bought our first hoist from them over 15 years ago and did not have to replace it until last year. The hoist is used for our dumbwaiter system on our floating restaurant which is on an over a century old Indonesian Phinisi ship.”

APPI recommended the Columbia HF2300-1A17-L-02 AC electric hoist for the dumbwaiter application. This hoist offers a load rating of up to 2,300 lbs on the first layer and a line speed of 12.2 fpm, making it well-suited for the demanding environment of the floating restaurant.

The Columbia hoist, powered by a 115 VAC single-phase motor, seamlessly integrated with the restaurant’s existing dumbwaiter system, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. The durability and reliability of the Columbia hoist are evident from the fact that Manta Ray Bay Resort & Yap Divers used their first APPI hoist for over 15 years before needing a replacement.

APPI’s commitment to providing high-quality products and exceptional customer service has earned the trust of customers like Manta Ray Bay Resort & Yap Divers. The Columbia HF2300-1A17-L-02 AC electric hoist exemplifies APPI’s ability to deliver solutions that withstand the test of time and meet the unique requirements of diverse applications, even in challenging environments like floating restaurants.

Why APPI:

Drilling mud is hard on pumps. The viscous, caustic fluid can quickly damage components. So for manufacturers like Portable Mud Systems, easy pump access is crucial for repairs and replacement.

When owner Brandon Westenberg specified a pump for one of his mud systems, he matched it with an Allied Power HF4700 hoist. This electric model provides 1,500 pounds of line pull, easily lifting the heavy pump out of the tank.

The hoist mounts to overhead beams using Columbia’s Quick Mount Brackets. An epoxy coating and stainless steel hardware enhance durability in the demanding oil and gas environment. Mud splatter is no match for this rugged reliable solution.

The HF4700’s -19 strap drum handles up to 30 feet of 4-inch wide strap. A latching hook ensures secure pump attachment for controlled maneuvering. NEMA 4X enclosed controls and an IP65 handheld pendant allow operators to precisely position pumps, despite site conditions.

Allied Power worked closely with Westenberg to provide the HF4700-4A17-L-19 hoist. Its 2.0HP motor delivers quick line speed, minimizing downtime during service. This collaboration reflects the company’s commitment to boosting efficiency for industrial clients.

With pump accessibility simplified, Portable Mud Systems can uphold continuous smooth operations on the jobsite.

Why APPI:  When Jim Wesch, a sales representative for S&K Air Power Tool and Supply in Decatur, IL had a customer who needed to lift equipment to the upper floors of a high rise building he came to us for a product solution.

After discussing the application details we determined one of our Columbia HF1750 pneumatic high rise hoist mounted on a Columbia 1-ton rated, manual overhead trolley would be an appropriate choice.

In use, the trolley and hoist ride on an I-beam that is extended through a window opening with loads being positioned manually.

Why APPI:  The need to lift the 3,000 pound door on one of their industrial ovens level lead Steven Ulik, a project engineer at International Thermal Systems, to select one of our Columbia HF4700 AC electric hoists for the task.  In addition to meeting his requirements for line pull, line speed and lifting distance, the planetary reduction, automatic load holding brake, compact size and low maintenance requirements made it an ideal fit for his application.

The need to keep the oven door level when being lifted at two points was resolved by using a single line from the hoist which connects to a master link with two lines.  Those lines are guided by two sheaves up one side of the oven door and then over the door to a pair of sheaves over the pick point on each side of the door.  A tension plate is installed on the drum to help prevent the wire rope from bird nesting when the door is closed and there is no load on the line.

An inverter duty brake motor was provided to work with the ITS-designed control system which includes a variable frequency drive to provide adjustable line speed and line pull.
