Hi Friends, Hope you are off to a great start in having a super week. I don’t mean to hijack my Dad’s hoist blog with cuteness, BUT, just wanted to tell everyone what I”VE been up to, besides regular security detail and HR duties.
I’ve been babysitting our neighbor’s cute new baby, Maggie. She loves to play keep away & tag with me. I’ll try to have my people snap a quick one of us together soon. For now I just love her (and she loves me too, btw) Okay, we’ll get back to hoist talk. Stay safe!
We value our relationships with our customers. Being able to help them stay safe, productive and osha compliant is exactly what we are here for. If you aren’t our customer, we’d love for you to be. If you’d like a competitive quote for your overhead crane and hoist inspections, give us a call.
Thank you in advance, we look forward to the opportunity to help any way we can!
Have a great and SAFE week.
You know that little sprout of a business idea that keeps popping up in your head, but you really don’t know what to do with it yet? I want to encourage you today to go get a clean notebook and write it down. This notebook will be reserved solely for your idea. Take time every day and brainstorm a little, form categories, draw diagrams, make a list of people who you could connect with. This business idea’s only chance of survival is your attention.
Be Aware of your surroundings & DO NOT stand near or in the path below a load being moved.

STUDY THE HOISTING SIGNALS AND KNOW THEM BETTER THAN THE BACK OF YOUR HAND.
The Empire State Building was completed in 1931. This photo was taken sometime during the construction of that famous building.. I can barely even look at this..
WRONG WAY RIGHT WAY
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.
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!
Don’t even…..
Pictures (with motion) are worth 2 thousand words.
Here is what OSHA has to say on the subject of hoisting peeps.
