Kuli Wire Rope Hoists - Harrison Fabrication Lifting Limited

KULI Wire Rope Hoists



 
Harrison Fabrication Lifting Limited have been using KULI Wire Rope Hoists for a least 10 years and use the hoists for all wire rope hoist applications. Delivery Times are a key part of using KULI hoists as they quote 6 to 8 weeks and always deliver on time. Our Customers do not want to wait for 12 to 14 weeks for a wire rope hoist, they want the crane and hoist manufactured and installed as quickly as possible.

The KULI electric wire rope hoists represent more than eighty years of experience in the design and manufacture of lifting equipment, and combine modern design and engineering technology to produce a range of hoists which comply with DIN, FEM and ISO standards.
Compact design and modular construction are a unique feature of the KULI wire rope hoists. This modular construction enables various combinations of hoists to be easily constructed, to give a range of foot mounted, fixed suspension, standard and close headroom monorail hoists and double girder crab units. Electric motors, brakes and all gearing are specifically designed for hoisting duty and are manufactured in their works under their control, and are subjected to strict quality tests for safety and reliability.

Finishing Touches to Kuli Hoist and Crab Unit



Finishing Touches to Kuli Hoist and Crab Unit


The specially constructed Crab Unit using a Kuli Foot Mounted Hoist Unit, were today in our workshop having the few remaining jobs completed before delivery to site. The Crab Unit was completed yesterday and the Hoist fitted to it this morning. The Kuli hoist was delivered on exactly the date agreed, so helping us meet our tight deadline. The wiring from the control panel to the motors were connected and the holes drilled ready for the buffers to be fitted. The hoist and crab unit will be delivered to site on Monday, where it will be fitted onto the 15.5 metre span Double Girder Crane Bridge, as mentioned in previous blogs.

If you are thinking of buying a Second Hand Overhead Crane, Please consider the following points?



•Will You get Good Reliability?
•How does the Cost compare against a new crane?
•What is the Age of the second hand crane?
•Are spare parts available?
•What is the Previous usage of the second hand crane?
•Will Modifications have to be made to suit your needs?
•Does the Height of Lift of the Hoist suit your requirements?
•Are Modifications going to cost you extra?
•Do you get a Warranty Period?
•Are you sure the Second Hand Crane will do exactly what you want it to do?

Most important have you compared the price of a New Crane against a Second Hand Overhead Crane?




You may be pleasantly surprised!




The Warranty Period will certainly be longer with a New Crane, Most Crane Manufacturers offer a Two Year Warranty.




Never be drawn in and think that buying a second hand overhead crane is cheaper, in the long run it may cost a great deal more money.

Double Girder Crane Bridge Testing

Having recently received an order for 12 tonne Double Girder Crane Bridge, with a span of 15350mm, we decided to test the Crane Bridge for deflection with a Hydraulic Pump and Cylinder. We converted the PSI reading on the gauge of the pump to a KG force reading.
