During machine assembly ABG International needed a safer and more efficient way to lift heavy parts, including laminators and turn bar assemblies. These modules were often at the limit of safe manual handling and previously required two people and a forklift.

Having reviewed the options with them, we concluded a winch lifter was the answer, with a 2-metre lifting range 125kg SWL. ABG introduced the WL2C Winch Lifter with Crane Extended Boom to support lifting heavy parts and modules during machine builds. Its compact, manoeuvrable design with superior vertical placement due to its geared winch, allows precise positioning even in busy production areas.

Since introducing the hoist, ABG has seen:

“It is a great piece of equipment, and in daily use.
The way it has improved our production is in removing some of the manual handling hazards when building our machines.
The hoists are manoeuvrable so can easily be used in and around a busy production area. The feet are small enough to fit under the modules which gives more access to lift things into place.
Lots of lifting tasks the used to require two people and a forklift are now being carried out by one person which has obvious time and resource saving benefits as well as the obvious safety benefits.
A good measure of how successful the hoist has been, other departments across both sites are asking why they have not got one and are demanding one of their own!”
