Pressure Hose & Wire Braid. Specialists in PTFE Hose Assemblies SPOTLIGHT LARGE-CAPACITY HOIST INSTALLATIONS Consisting of 4 hydraulic lines (two of which DN ISO 19 and the other two DN ISO 12.5), this multi-couplings series is available with several connection threads. Moreover, the two ISO 12.5 lines can house 3-pole electrical lines as an alternative to the standard hydraulic connection. This multi-coupling also follows the philosophy of total interchangeability (with the P510) of the PSF series, and the same applies to the cartridges and the electrical connection, which are completely interchangeable with those of other producers and that can be mounted on their multi-couplings as well. The “male” cartridges of this PSF series are also equipped with a decompression system as standard, thus allowing the two half plates to connect even in the presence of residual pressure on the male side (mobile half plate). t | +39 039 877451 e | info@dnp.it w | www.dnp.it Supplying, installing, load testing and LOLER certifying a wide range of manual and powered hoist units, HOIST & WINCH says it has extensive experience and expertise in all kinds of industrial lifting operations. However, certain projects require special know-how, such as the installation of large- capacity, electric-powered wire-rope hoists in challenging and restricted access applications. And yet even in these situations, Hoist & Winch says it has a proven methodology to ensure a high- performance, efficient, safety-certified outcome for customers. Every hoist installation is different, and most generally present some level of challenge to overcome, typically relating to the dimensional clearances of the hoist unit or the logistics of general access conditions. When the hoist unit’s dimensional clearances are particularly critical, Hoist & Winch carries out a detailed survey prior to manufacture, ensuring that the complete installation can perform the required tasks with sufficient operating clearance. On some occasions, a pre-installation survey is required to check site/work area access conditions. Hoist & Winch will subsequently submit its Risk Assessment and Method Statement (RAMS) for approval by the customer prior to starting work. These documents detail the installation procedure, the equipment intended for use, and the hazards and risks associated with the various tasks. In addition, the documents will set out how it is possible to minimise or negate these risks. t | 08450 171126 e | sales@hoistandwinch.co.uk w | www.hoistandwinch.co.uk COAX VALVES UK has announced it has introduced the new FMX range of compact, high flow, stainless steel externally controlled valves.
