Champion Hoist & Crane, LLC are indispensable tools for the efficient and productive movement of large industrial equipment. These cranes elevate, relocate, and accurately position equipment components to expedite maintenance operations, minimize downtime, and optimize production workflow. They also provide safety benefits that go beyond standard material handling equipment like forklifts and carts.
Crane systems are designed and engineered to suit specific application requirements. Key factors include load capacity, crane span and height, operational environment (outdoor vs. indoor), and required safety features. A comprehensive understanding of these factors allows users to select the optimal crane system for their facility and load requirements.
Extend Equipment Life with Champion Hoist & Crane’s Service Plans
Hoist systems are a critical component of all overhead crane systems. They come in two types: chain hoists and wire rope hoists. Chain hoists use a secure chain holder and are suitable for light-duty applications, while wire rope hoists use a rugged steel cable for high performance in heavy-duty applications. Both offer precision and accurate vertical lift with minimal drift.
Depending on the operational environment, overhead cranes may require electric power or pneumatic power to operate. Most industrial overhead cranes are powered by electricity, which ensures consistent performance and lower maintenance. Electrical energy is delivered to the runway, bridge, trolley, and hoist via insulated conductor bars or festoon systems.
Proper maintenance protocols and inspections are essential to the safe operation of industrial equipment. Regular servicing nips potential problems in the bud and extends equipment lifespan. An improperly functioning crane can compromise worker safety, lead to costly downtime, and negatively affect production and productivity. To avoid the consequences of unplanned maintenance, all cranes should undergo a periodic inspection and preventive service schedule. The frequency of these services varies by equipment and operating environment, but they should be completed on a schedule set forth in OSHA guidelines.
