Very often, usual hoist wear and tear produces ordinary breakdowns that derail a process or plant for more time than is actually necessary. Regular inspection and maintenance can have a dramatic effect on the efficiency of production, safety awareness and overall profitability.
Much of the downtime produced by breakdowns and maintenance has been reduced or eliminated by the implementation of a well thought out and organized maintenance program.
Primarily the facility produces saw blades, power tool accessories, and hand tools. The primary hoist products onsite are ¼ ton hoist units that are used in various stages of the receiving, production, packaging, and shipping operations, with more than 200 hoists in service.
At the heart of the success of the plant is the organized maintenance program. The main organizational component of the system, an impeccable filing system, forms the basis of the program that complements a strict adherence to practiced schedule.
The thorough safeguarding agenda bases the type of inspection and maintenance on the type of environment, number of lifts, and related factors that impact the wear on the hoists.
The program also provides for general hoist safety toolbox training for other members of the staff educating them on topics related to hoist safety and use.
With a focus on reducing downtime, proactive maintenance and safety, this plant combines these efforts in order to effortlessly retain an ordered and productive workflow with a minimum of downtime.
