There are many different types of hoist in use in manufacturing industries, shops, garages and in production facilities. Hoists serve an important purpose in lifting, moving and lowering objects that weigh tons with easy and safety. When your hoist is damaged or stops working, you need hoist repair quickly to get your line, plant or shop back up and running.
On Site Services
Depending on the type of hoist that you have in place you may need hoist repair on site. This means that the repair company has a mobile unit that can come to your location to complete the repair. This is often the only option with large hoists and systems while a chain hoist or small hoist system may be more easily moved to the repair shop and then returned.
Standards and Services
You want to look carefully at the qualifications and experience of the company that is completing your hoist repair. There are some companies out there that go well above the required standards and have actually gone through the entire process of being an ISO 9001:2000 certified firm.
This level of certification means that you are working with a top company that puts professional standards and quality of service at the forefront in everything that they do. These types of companies also are very selective in the mechanics and professionals that they hire, ensuring that you also are only provided with the top professionals to complete your hoist repair.
Testing and Certification
Another important consideration is the ability of the company completing your hoist repair to also do industry standard testing and provide certification for your hoist after the repair is completed. This can include hand chain, electric hoists and air hoists, depending on the types of system or systems that you use in your business.
Rentals
In some cases you may find that your hoist repair is going to take a day or more to complete. In these situations if you work with a company that also provides rentals in addition to repairs you can quickly get back up and operational, even if your original hoist is still in the repair process.
Choosing the right company for your hoist repair needs ensures that you never have to worry about the timing, quality and professionalism of the work they do for you.
