When handling motors, lifting devices are often needed, whether they be cranes, forklifts or otherwise. Given the risks inherent to lifting, EASA members must exercise caution and ensure our teams are well versed in proper rigging techniques.

Al manipular motores, a menudo se necesitan dispositivos de izaje, ya sean grúas, montacargas o de otro tipo. Dados los riesgos inherentes al izaje, los miembros de EASA debemos actuar con precaución y asegurarnos que nuestros empleados conozcan bien las técnicas de manipulación adecuadas.

This 94-page handbook (3.5" x 6", 9cm x 15cm) contains carefully selected materials designed to assist repair firms in their everyday work. Just as important, your customers and potential customers can use this pocket handbook as a handy reference for mechanical data for motors and driven equipment.

Studies have shown that more than 25% of all occupational injuries are related to material handling. These injuries not only bring hardships to the employees injured and to their families, but the impact on productivity and profitability can be tremendous. The operation of cranes and slings have been responsible for incidents involving death, serious injury, damage to buildings, damage to stock, and damage to the forklifts themselves.  Since considerable risk is involved in the use of cranes and slings, OSHA has required that all workers using these types of trucks be properly trained in the use and maintenance of such equipment.

Learn from an industry veteran about safety topics you may think you know but that can cost your firm substantially if you’re not diligent.

If you've ever applied Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) to standard motors, I'm sure you know how critical it is to understand the specific application and to get all the required data so that you can apply the drive properly. It's not the time to guess or make assumptions. Most failed applications are a result of not getting all the information. When trying to apply VFDs to old or existing cranes and hoists, this holds doubly true.
