Especially because of the harsh environmental conditions that prevail in a temper, has to decide the VS Guss AG for the ratchet features of Kito. As the company reported the ratchet features also work in extreme conditions, reliable and durable.

Frank Wolf, Head of Industrial Engineering at the VS Guss AG, describes the situation thus: 'We were in a precarious position, as we continually moves with the existing ratchet had any problems. For harsh environments, the devices were simply not suitable. Furthermore, they were constantly busy, so often aufbog the hook and it came to dangerous situations. '

In the search for an alternative to, the company announced in the press about the product portfolio of the company Kito. 'For us a welcome opportunity to immediately order a Kito-Ratchet and tested under the assembly conditions. The result was consistent with our requirements for a Ratchet, which works particularly well in extreme conditions, reliable and durable agreement, 'says Wolf.

Prevention provides more security
The LB OLL (Overload Limiter) is, according to Kito everywhere asked where in horizontal or vertical pulling the load, the forces can not be defined properly. It serves the Ratchet with integrated slip clutch mechanism, which excludes an overload, as a preventive object.

The overload protection can slip in the event of overload the lever. The operator then only needs to lower the load. A bending of the hook was thus ruled out and lower the maintenance costs of the ratchet moves.

Through its partner company in Essen Glettenberg delivered Kito ratchet hoists with lifting capacities of 1.0 tonnes They are used in VS casting for different maintenance and installation activities. Lift and drag loads stabilize and position, if such an outdated form of machine and the sand tanks are replaced, as they say. Since the maintenance team must run continuously repairs, it is particularly important that the trains will work around the clock.

'For the past two years we have worked with the Kito-trains, now there are 15 trains with load capacities from 0.8 to 3.2 t, which are constantly with hydraulic oils, sand and shape material in contact and changing temperatures. It's a comforting feeling when you have a product that offers a certain security and for a second, yet can withstand the environmental conditions. So we can always timely execute the required maintenance, 'says Wolf, and more. 'Currently we are testing Kito ratchet trains with higher loads and then will use these devices in our foundry.'
