Why APPI

Dynamic Fusion is a family owned and operated business specializing in custom fabricated conveyor systems as well as other industrial grade material handling equipment.  When upgrading the conveyor system in a local Fedex service hub it was decided to use one of our Columbia HD900 AC electric hoists for the application.

To limit the travel of the conveyor, a low voltage control system was provided in a NEMA 4X rated fiberglass enclosure that can be wired to upper and lower limit switches.   An IP65 rated hand held pendant on a 15’ lead allows for operator mobility.

Justin Shank, VP of Operations for Dynamic Fusion Inc. was pleased with our quick delivery of a hoist that was delivered as a package ready to be installed.

Please contact us if you would like more information about this particular conveyor chute hoist or any of our other products and services.
