In the bustling industrial hub of Buenos Aires, Argentina, a leading manufacturer of heavy machinery faced a critical challenge: its aging lifting equipment could no longer keep up with the demands of its expanding production line. After months of research and consultations, they turned to our European-style wire rope hoists. The client, a key player in Argentina's manufacturing sector, specializes in producing agricultural machinery and construction equipment. As their orders surged—driven by growing demand in both domestic and export markets—their existing lifting systems became a bottleneck. Their old hoists, which had been in use for over a decade, suffered from frequent breakdowns. Therefore, this client needed a lifting solution that operates at faster speeds and withstands the rigors of daily heavy use in their busy factory. They also required equipment that could integrate seamlessly with their existing overhead crane infrastructure to avoid costly facility modifications.

Our European wire rope hoists are engineered to handle heavy loads with ease. The 2-ton model selected by the client features high-tensile steel wire ropes—stranded for flexibility and coated to resist corrosion—ensuring it could lift the client’s heaviest machinery components, including large gearboxes and steel frames. The hoist's robust motor and gear system, built with precision-machined parts, delivers consistent performance even under continuous use, a critical factor for a factory operating two shifts daily.
Speed was a top priority for the client, and our hoists met the mark. Equipped with variable frequency drives, the hoists allow operators to adjust lifting speeds from 1 m/min to 12 m/min. This flexibility cut down on cycle times: what once took 15 minutes to move a component across the factory floor now took just 5. The smooth, jerk-free movement also reduced wear and tear on both the hoist and the machinery being lifted, lowering maintenance costs over time.
Safety is non-negotiable in industrial settings, and our wire rope hoists are packed with protective mechanisms. The client particularly valued the overload protection system, which automatically stops the hoist if the load exceeds its rated capacity, preventing accidents and equipment damage. Other safety features include emergency stop buttons, thermal motor protection (to prevent overheating), and anti-drop brakes that engage instantly if power is lost. These features helped the client comply with Argentina's strict workplace safety regulations, giving both managers and workers peace of mind.
One of the client's biggest concerns was avoiding costly modifications to their factory. Our European wire rope hoists are designed for versatility: they fit seamlessly onto standard overhead crane beams, requiring only minor adjustments to the client’s existing infrastructure. The hoist's compact design also saved space, allowing them to operate in tight areas between production lines—something their bulkier old equipment could not manage.
The client's decision to partner with us was based on more than just the quality of our hoists. They valued our commitment to delivering end-to-end support, from initial consultation to post-installation service.
Firstly, every factory has unique needs, and we worked closely with the client to tailor the hoists to their specific operations. For example, we adjusted the hoists’ lifting height to match their crane beams and added remote control functionality for operators who needed to stand clear of heavy loads. This level of customization ensured the hoists fit their workflow perfectly.
Secondly, our European wire rope hoists meet international standards, including CE, ISO 9001, and FEM. This gave the client confidence in their quality and safety.
In addition, we have supplied hoists to industrial clients across South America for over 40 years, building a reputation for reliability in diverse environments—from the humid factories of Brazil to the high-altitude facilities in Bolivia.
As a professional hoist manufacturer, we do not just sell equipment—we build partnerships. After installation, we provided operator training sessions and a detailed maintenance guide to help the client get the most out of their hoists.
At present, this hoist has been shipped to Argentina. Besides the wire rope hoists, we also produce air hoists, electric chain hoists, air winches, etc. For any need, please feel free to contact us!
