Used for a range of lifting and hoisting applications, hoists are designed to be highly enduring while maintaining a lightweight composition for efficient operation. Other features include external shock and fracture resistance, overload clutches for prevention of excess lifting and low headroom for maximum lifting height.

In accordance with the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, often referred to as OSHA standards, the promotion of health and safety is foremost in the industrial and construction industries. In New York State alone, OSHA is responsible for promoting the safety of millions of employees and ensuring continued compliance with workplace health standards.

For various industrial and construction equipment specific inspection standards must be met in accordance with OSHA compliance and manufacturer specifications. Certified inspection practices are necessary to ensure proper equipment operation and safe working conditions.
