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.
