Industrial Plant Safety Manager Concerned Maintenance Neglect Could Cause Catastrophic Hoist Failure
In a recent interview on WVSN Industry Visions with Business Development Sales Manager of Harrington Hoists Bret Lussow speaks about lack of maintenance on hoists and crane systems. Lussow says lack of maintenance is commonplace, and can cause critical dangers with catastrophic load drop. When asked for a reason behind all the neglect he said hoists are usually removed from the floor area, or sit in the back of a facility up in the air, where they aren’t noticed on a regular basis. Basically, it’s out of sight and out of mind just because you don’t trip over it everyday, and that can be dangerous, says Lussow.
