Rigging

WRONG WAY RIGHT WAY

Another prime cause of Hoist accidents is due to Poor Rigging.

DSM Hoist will train your operators on proper rigging techniques as well as pre shift inspections & hoist operation.

We provide Rigging Handbooks and pocket charts to aid operators in calculations on the go.

Inspect your equipment before every use.

Every manufacturing facility should provide the proper equipment and have it available for their operator’s use.

The efforts a facility puts into this along with proper education will ease the tension and raise the confidence of operators, greatly decreasing the risks of accidents and injury. Call 1-515-981-5600 and ask to talk with Scott.

Know the capacity of your Crane and Hoist

A prime cause of accidents regarding overhead cranes and hoists is Overloading. Before any lift, always know the capacity of the overhead crane and hoist you are using. Also pay close attention to the lower lifting apparatuses (BTHLDs) for working load limit. And know the weight of the material you are lifting!

The older you get, the more fascinating history becomes...

Construction of the iconic Statue of Liberty began in 1875 by a team of skilled workers tasked with bringing this symbol of freedom to life. The workers, consisting of ironworkers, masons, and craftsmen, faced the challenging task of assembling the statue piece by piece.

The ironworkers meticulously connected the intricate framework, standing at over 150 feet tall, which would serve as the foundation for the statue's copper skin. The masons worked diligently to secure the copper pieces, carefully shaping and forming Lady Liberty's distinct features.

Despite facing harsh weather conditions and precarious working environments, the workers persisted with determination and expertise. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail ultimately led to the successful completion of this architectural marvel in 1886.

Through their dedication and skill, these construction workers played a significant role in not only erecting a statue but also in creating a timeless symbol that continues to inspire generations with its message of freedom and opportunity.

We can help you. ok, super heroes eradicating danger for all time is a blissful thought, but, can we make injury almost non existent? That IS & will Always be the goal. A majority of worksite accidents are avoidable, if you know

for instance, learning to use tag lines to guide and stabilize a load keeps you out of harms way. Learning how to calculate the “danger zone” in any given situation eliminates the chances of being injured by falling loads and/or flying debris if a BTHLD should fail.. Learning the proper way to PRE-INSPECT your machines & rigging equipment will significantly lower the chance of sling failure. This is just scratching the surface of the topics that we teach.
