Crane Control Panel Installation
- The
Right Way
Purchasing a Magnetek Control
Panel………….$32,000.00
Contracting the
installation…………………………...$ 7,500.00
Betting success on a $.50
section of hose……. $ Priceless
(Note that the encoder cable
is cut in the picture, as they got too many faults at the
drive, I wonder why?)
In the world of Material Handling, it is always a good idea
to look for and specify name brands for the equipment we
need. Names like Magnetek, Gorbel, Mondel, Yale and others
tell you that you are getting a product made by a company
committed to providing the best equipment.
But there is another aspect often over looked. The company
installing the material or equipment, are they qualified to
provide the type of installation you expect? Most vendors
have at least access to quality products, but this doesn’t
mean they will provide a quality installation, or have the
expertise to furnish you with “after the sale” support on
these brands.
A panel with properly terminated and marked
wiring
A recent panel installed “by others”, looks more like
“Snakes on a Plane”.
Make sure to get references
from the company you are planning to use to install your
equipment. The references should be for the same type of
installation you are considering. Experience in the specific
type of project you have will save you time, money, and less
headaches!
Got a problem installation?, sometimes a small $.50 hose
replacement is all it takes. Call us today!
