Why APPI: Since 1973, Mac and Mac have been developing new ways to use high pressure water in extreme industrial applications. A measure of their success are the patents they hold for the most sophisticated hydrodemolition systems in North America.
Positioning their systems with wire rope hoists is typical for them but on many applications such as bridges, tunnels, large concrete shafts, hydroelectric dams and nuclear facilities, the reduced line capacity and spooling issues caused by fleet angle problems were hampering their ability to utilize their robots.
After reviewing their needs we provided them with one of our Columbia HL15000 AC hoists equipped with an AutoAdvance line spooler that mitigates all the issues they had with proper line spooling. Time previously lost to correcting those problems has been eliminated as has the need for their personnel to try to adjust the wire rope spooling by hand.
