Customer: HMT LLC

Location: Baytown, TX

Hoist Model: Columbia HF550-P-02 Pneumatic Equipment Hoist

Line Pull: 550 pounds on the first layer

Line Speed: 127 feet per minute on the first layer

Wire Rope Capacity: 100 feet x 3/16″ diameter stainless steel wire rope with overhaul plate and latching hook

Input Required: 65 PSI @ 110 CFM

Why APPI:

HMT LLC, is a leader in above-ground storage tank inspection, maintenance, and repair services. They faced the challenge of efficiently and safely transporting tools and small equipment to the tops of storage tanks in hazardous locations. Jeffrey Sistrunk, Project Manager for HMT, sought a reliable hoist solution that could meet their specific requirements.

The application demanded a hoist capable of lifting 100 pounds to a height of 80 feet “as quickly as possible” while operating safely in a hazardous environment. After careful consideration and consultation with Allied Power Products, Inc. (APPI), Jeffrey selected the Columbia HF550-P-02 pneumatic equipment hoist.

APPI’s Columbia HF550-P-02 pneumatic hoist offers a line pull of 550 pounds on the first layer and an impressive line speed of 127 feet per minute, exceeding HMT’s requirements for quick vertical transportation of tools and equipment. The hoist’s 100-foot capacity of 3/16″ diameter stainless steel wire rope, complete with an overhaul plate and latching hook, ensures secure and efficient lifting operations.

Key to the selection of the Columbia HF550-P-02 was its suitability for hazardous locations. The pneumatic power source, requiring 65 PSI @ 110 CFM, eliminates the need for electrical components, making it inherently safer for use in potentially explosive environments. Additionally, the hoist is equipped with a pressure-released, spring-set brake, enabling safe and controlled lifting and lowering of rated loads.

HMT LLC has significantly improved the efficiency and safety of its storage tank inspection and maintenance processes by choosing the Columbia pneumatic hoist. The hoist’s rapid line speed, coupled with its ability to operate in hazardous environments, has streamlined operations and reduced downtime, allowing HMT to provide faster and more cost-effective services to its clients.

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: CTech Manufacturing in Weston, WI designs and builds tool carts and cabinets for heavy duty use applications such as in race car trailers (About » CTech Manufacturing)

When they determined the addition of an overhead lift would improve their production process they contacted  Handling Systems International for assistance.

Bret Lussow, Director of Business Development at HSI, provided them with a freestanding crane with an enclosed track trolley system.  After consulting with us, he selected one of our  Columbia HC1500-1A25-L-15 strap hoists with variable speed control to provide the lifting.  The aluminum mounting plate we provided made the installation very easy.

Bret says:  I was able to visit C-tech Manufacturing yesterday.  The hoist is working great for them.  Here are a few photos for you.  Thanks again for all your help!…   Hope we can do more work together in the future.

Customer: RNG Corporation

Location: Prior Lake, MN

Hoist Model: Columbia HD1300-1A34-F-11 AC Electric Winch

Performance Based on 115 VAC / Single Phase / 60Hz:

• Line Pull: 1,300 pounds on the first layer
• Line Speed: 15 feet per minute on the first layer
• Wire Rope Capacity: 99 feet x 3/16″ wire rope with latching hook

Special Features:

• Automatic load-suspending braking system
• NEMA 12 rated handheld pendant control
• Permanently lubricated planetary reduction

WHY APPI:

RNG Corporation approached Allied Power Products, Inc. (APPI) with a challenge: they needed a reliable solution for their shore docking system at Prior Lake, MN. Unlike vertical boat hoists that lift the entire weight of a watercraft, shore docking systems pull boats at an angle up a small railway, typically requiring less complicated and less expensive equipment.

While hand winches are common on these units, RNG Corporation recognized that as boats get larger, manual cranking becomes more difficult and potentially hazardous since operators must remain in direct contact with the winch. For their Roll-n-Go unit designed to dock a 4,500-pound vessel on a 30% slope, they needed a powered solution that would prioritize both efficiency and operator safety.

RNG Corporation used APPI’s simple guidelines to figure out how much pulling power they needed. They used a basic math formula that adds up how steep the slope is and how slippery the surface is. For their 4,500-pound boat on a 30% slope with rollers, they found that the HD1300 hoist with its 1,300-pound pulling power would work great for their needs.

After looking at all the options, RNG Corporation chose the Columbia HD1300 hoist as the best fit for their needs.

Key features of this shore docking hoist include:

1. An automatic, load-suspending braking system that keeps the boat safe from hook-up until it’s back in the water.
2. Permanently lubricated, high-efficiency planetary reduction so it doesn’t need much upkeep.
3. A NEMA 12 rated handheld pendant that lets the boat owner stand far away from the winch for safety.
4. Wire rope capacity of 99 feet × 3/16″ to pull the boat all the way up the ramp.

By using the Columbia shore docking hoist with its automatic braking system and specialized features, RNG Corporation made their boat docking safer, faster, and easier than using hand cranks.

If you want to learn more about this shore docking hoist or other products we offer, please contact us at Allied Power Products, Inc. We have over 30 years of experience making winches, hoists, capstans, and cranes that fit what our customers need.
