Recently, a customer with an
older Mannesmann Demag hoist having a 40 hp motor and a
conical motor brake had a bad inverter drive.
Faced with
a long delivery for an O.E.M. drive from Germany and a crane
that was out of service, the customer called Engineered
Lifting Systems for help.
Engineered Lifting's service manager, Dane Vance, working
with Mr. James Young in the engineering department at
Magnetek, was able to use a Magnetek Series 3 VFG+ drive,
along with class “D” rated dynamic braking resistors and a
CDBR-4090B Braking unit to modernize the crane, providing
the customer with a completely operational crane in less
than 2 days.
Magnetek
worked quickly to get the drive, resistors, and braking
module ready for air freight shipment while the old drive
was being removed from the existing enclosure. The customer
had material that had to be moved by this critical crane,
and as is the case sometimes, hours seemed like weeks.
The
new drive and components were delivered at 7 AM on the
second day, and Dane had the customer up and running later
that same day.
A
quality installation, speed of delivery, and a new higher
level of performance for the equipment got this customer
back in action in a hurry!
The
commitment to customer’s needs, along with a proven product
is what Magnetek and Engineered Lifting Systems offer.
