Why APPI: 

Sparrows Offshore, with over four decades of experience in servicing offshore cranes, approached Allied Power Products, Inc. (APPI) with a unique challenge. James Schott, a project manager at Sparrows Offshore, contacted APPI seeking a pneumatic hoist with a chain-drive trolley for a critical maintenance operation in the Gulf of Mexico.

The immediate need was to remove the main and luffing hoists from a crane on an oil platform for servicing. After carefully reviewing the application requirements, Sparrows Offshore Manufacturing chose the Columbia HG5000-P-02 pneumatic hoist equipped with a 3-ton chain drive trolley.

Key features of this solution include:

  1. Designed for installation on Sparrows’ existing I-Beam maintenance davit on the crane.
  2. Capable of lifting the hoists out of their mounts and lowering them 50 feet down to the deck below.
  3. Controlled via a 50′ long pendant connected to the control valve, allowing for precise operation from a safe distance.
  4. Quick exhaust valves on the control valve to ensure rapid brake engagement on the hoist.

By implementing APPI’s Columbia pneumatic hoist solution, Sparrows Offshore has significantly improved their crane maintenance capabilities. The new hoist offers enhanced safety, increased efficiency, and the ability to perform critical maintenance tasks in challenging offshore environments.
