DSM Hoist

DSM Hoist is here to help you reach goals & keep you on the path to Success!

Our schedules are overflowing'; our personal responsibilities overextend us. But I want to remind us, goals put off until “someday” are actually just dreams.

Goals are actively pursued.

~Trying to get more fit? Set the timer and go on a walk for 15 minutes. start TONIGHT!

Trying to write a book? Go buy a dedicated notebook and start writing all of your thoughts about what it will consist of. Look up book writing apps. check out some online book writing courses this week.

Have a product that you want to manufacture? Write the business plan, find out costs for construction/remodel. look up leasing opportunities in your community. Start talking to people; find investors. List equipment you’ll need & start inquiring.

I don’t care who you are.. the answer to the question, “Can you do this?” will always be YES! If you commit yourself, keep your nose to the grindstone and don’t use excuses to abort the mission.

Trade the sentence “I’ll believe it when I see it” to You have to believe it to see it..

no, really.... we're okay with being known as a fly over state, but....

I’ve never dug into the psychology of “Iowa nice,” (ya…that’s a thing) but it’s a core attribute in most of the people of this state.

And at DSM Hoist, “Iowa nice” happens all the time, kind of like breathing air around here, which makes dsm hoist a great place to work and an even greater place to do business with.

Our dedication to the craft & our focus on quality, mixed with an inherent caring for your satisfaction is really the perfect blend.

Next time you’re looking for solutions, give us a call at 1-515-981-5600.

We’d love to hear from you.

Let us alleviate some worry

Shock loading happens when a hoist suddenly carries a heavier load than it can handle, usually due to quick movements or dropping loads. This can lead to several dangers, including:

  • Equipment Failure: Hoists can wear out from carrying loads beyond their limits, leading to breakdowns and costly repairs.

  • Loss of Load Control: A sudden increase in load can make it hard for operators to maintain control, risking drops that could harm people or damage property.

    ~ Injury to Personnel: Unexpected loads can seriously injure workers, with falling items causing crush injuries or operators losing balance.

    ~ Risks of Damage: Both the hoist and the lifted items can be damaged, affecting the integrity of the load and the equipment.

  • Increased Wear on Components: Frequent shock loads put extra stress on hoist parts, leading to quicker wear and more maintenance.

To prevent shock loading, follow safe lifting practices, apply loads gradually, and avoid sudden movements. Regular inspections and adherence to manufacturer guidelines can help keep hoisting operations safe and reliable.

If your facility is experiencing concerns with current procedures or other practices that leave you thinking there must be a better way, don’t hesitate to call us. Lets visit & possibly schedule a time for a tour of your facility & see how we can help you, either by creating an operator training course for your workers or if it’s equipment derived, we can pinpoint the issues and suggest potential solutions. Looking forward to our visit,
