Customer: Imperial Steel Products Ltd.
Location: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Hoist Model: Columbia HG3700-2417-L-02 Dual Hoist System

Performance:

• Line Pull: 3,700 pounds on the first layer
• Line Speed: 8 feet per minute on the first layer
• Power Source: 230 VAC / Three Phase / 60 Hz

Special Features:

• Spring applied, electrically released brake

Why APPI:

Imperial Steel Products faced a unique challenge in their factory operations: safely and effectively lifting 40-foot-long steel tubing weighing over 700 pounds. Recognizing the complexity of this task, they reached out to Allied Power Products, Inc. (APPI) for assistance in developing a solution.

Through collaborative discussions and analysis, Imperial Steel Products and APPI jointly considered all application factors – including lifting points, hoist capacity, line speed, and amp draw. Together, they determined that a dual hoist system would be the ideal solution to meet the specific needs of Imperial Steel Products’ operations.

The collaborative effort resulted in a system centered around two Columbia HG3700 hoists, tailored to this specific application.

Key features of this jointly developed steel pipe hoist system include:

1. Dual Columbia HG3700 hoists, providing ample lifting capacity for the heavy steel tubing.
2. A custom control system allowing for both individual and synchronized operation of the hoists, as requested by Imperial Steel Products.
3. Tension plates on each hoist to ensure proper line spooling when placing hooks on the tubes, addressing a specific concern raised during discussions.
4. Spring-applied, electrically released brakes for enhanced safety and control, a feature deemed essential by both parties.

This custom-designed system, offers several benefits:

• Precise control when lifting tubes and lowering them onto transfer carts
• Increased production efficiency
• Cost-effective solution for handling large, heavy materials

By implementing APPI’s Columbia steel pipe hoist system, Imperial Steel Products has significantly improved their material handling capabilities. The system’s innovative design and robust construction, tailored to the specific needs identified by Imperial Steel Products, ensure safe and efficient operations in their factory environment.

Why APPI: As is easy to imagine, working in a Liquified Natural Gas terminal is constantly challenging with a never-ending focus on safety so in this environment, pneumatic power for tools and equipment is a first choice.

When Cheniere Energy told Melissa Molsbee, MTS Inside Sales Lead for Distribution NOW in Corpus Christi, TX, they needed three air tuggers to lift equipment to a fin fan deck platform in their LGN plant, she contacted us.

Based on their performance requirements, we provided our Columbia HG2750-P-02 pneumatic hoists with 15 foot long hand-held pendant controls to provide operator mobility.  With one ton of lift for up to 100 feet and an average line speed of 20 feet per minute these were a perfect fit for this application. 

Please contact us if you would like more information about these Columbia air tuggers or any of our other products and services.

Why APPI:  When a leading manufacturer of recreational boats, marine engines, marine parts and accessories wanted to attract attention at shows by adding motion to a boat on display, one of their engineers contacted us for assistance.

The concept presented was for a “cradle” that held the boat with an AC electric hoist that would roll a boat secured to it to 21 degrees negative and then bring it back to level with intermediate stops where it would be mechanically locked in position.

After discussing the advantages and disadvantages of a single hoist versus a dual hoist configuration, a two hoist system was specified.   In addition to determining how to control the two hoists to ensure they worked in tandem, application details about how to achieve proper line spooling were discussed and implemented into the final design.

Although there was minimal lead time before the first show that using the display was scheduled, we were able to expedite the order in time for launching the new display as planned.

Why APPI:  The SSV Oliver Hazard Perry is a 200 foot sailing vessel operated by a non-profit of the same name out of Newport, Rhode Island.  She is the first full-rigged sailing ship to be built in the U.S. in over 100 years and in addition to being an eye-catcher she is the real deal among sailboats with over 7 miles of rigging and the ability to fly up 14,000 square feet of sail.

After doing their due diligence the design engineering firm working with “OHP” agreed with the captain that we were the best source for their dinghy hoists.  The units, as supplied, were designed to accommodate the weather conditions they will encounter along with features such as manual operation of the hoists in power out situations.

Why APPI:  When you are faced with a nearly endless line of trucks – each carrying multiple tons of potatoes – the ability to unload them quickly and gently is of paramount importance.  For those in that position, Mayo Manufacturing and their Evenflow offloading system has proven to be a reliable choice.

With this system the spuds are off-loaded using a conveyor boom equipped with proximity sensors to keep it close enough to the potatoes as they pile up to avoid drop damage yet high enough to keep it from becoming clogged.

Jared Schultz, project manager for Mayo, came to us for an electric hoist to eliminate any chance of hydraulic contamination, and based on the lift distance and mounting restrictions, selected one of our Columbia HG3700 AC electric hoists with a 4” wide strap to position the boom.

The compact size, automatic brake and industrial quality are all features that made this conveyor boom hoist an ideal match to Mayo’s needs.
