When handling construction materials like glass, insulated metal panels, or stone, accidents can result in costly damages and even loss of lives. Maintaining lifting equipment and ensuring it's free from damage is crucial in preventing such incidents. At Wood's Powr-Grip®, we're dedicated to creating a safer work environment. Our below-the-hook vacuum lifters are some of the most dependable in the industry, and we make sure they're easy to use safely and maintain properly.
Our Instruction Manuals come standard with our vacuum lifters and other equipment products. They contain a MAINTENANCE section that reflects ASME and CE Standards for safe operation, inspections, testing, and maintenance. Following these instructions can help keep your employees and property safe. We also provide an Inspection Log that makes it easy to know when and what to do for inspections. By following these procedures at the time intervals specified, you can ensure that your lifter is safe to use and working correctly.
In case inspections or tests reveal a problem, sending the product in for repairs isn't always ideal. The cost of delivery alone can be more significant than the repairs' actual cost, and shipping times can delay your lifter's return, increasing project costs and pushing deadlines in the wrong direction. That's why we offer a Troubleshooting and Repair Workshop that teaches you how to fix your vacuum lifter as quickly as possible. Our training staff has decades of experience in maintaining vacuum systems, and they'll pass that knowledge onto you. Participants also receive an Equipment Leak Test Kit at no extra charge, a vital tool in isolating difficult-to-find leaks.
Our customers value the independence that comes with the ability to fix their own equipment.
