Why APPI:

Imperial Steel Products faced a unique challenge in their factory operations: safely and effectively lifting 40-foot-long steel tubing weighing over 700 pounds. Recognizing the complexity of this task, they reached out to Allied Power Products, Inc. (APPI) for assistance in developing a solution.

Through collaborative discussions and analysis, Imperial Steel Products and APPI jointly considered all application factors – including lifting points, hoist capacity, line speed, and amp draw. Together, they determined that a dual hoist system would be the ideal solution to meet the specific needs of Imperial Steel Products’ operations.

The collaborative effort resulted in a system centered around two Columbia HG3700 hoists, tailored to this specific application.

Key features of this jointly developed steel pipe hoist system include:
  1. Dual Columbia HG3700 hoists, providing ample lifting capacity for the heavy steel tubing.
  2. A custom control system allowing for both individual and synchronized operation of the hoists, as requested by Imperial Steel Products.
  3. Tension plates on each hoist to ensure proper line spooling when placing hooks on the tubes, addressing a specific concern raised during discussions.
  4. Spring-applied, electrically released brakes for enhanced safety and control, a feature deemed essential by both parties.
This custom-designed system, offers several benefits:
  • Precise control when lifting tubes and lowering them onto transfer carts
  • Increased production efficiency
  • Cost-effective solution for handling large, heavy materials

By implementing APPI’s Columbia steel pipe hoist system, Imperial Steel Products has significantly improved their material handling capabilities. The system’s innovative design and robust construction, tailored to the specific needs identified by Imperial Steel Products, ensure safe and efficient operations in their factory environment.
