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!

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.

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.
When it comes to hoisting equipment near powerlines, make safety your #1 priority. By following regulations and guidelines, you will avoid injury, accidents or damage to equipment. Your work should be planned out with a qualified spotter to ensure safe distances are maintained. Review your plans, double check your plans. We want you safe out there.
If you don’t know Him, you should.
…and realize the sacrifice He made was for you.
