Many companies that have been operating their ageing though reliable hoists have found that when they need to replace hoist motors the original OEMs either no longer exist or the motor rating size has long since been dropped from their production portfolio.
Who can they turn to, in order to get their hoist back up and running as in many cases if the slipring motor that has served them well for 20-30 years can not be easily replaced it could lead to an extremely full overhead crane upgrade.
Menzel have seen this scenario grow over the years with SME’s not able to afford a complete new hoist just for the loss of a motor, scratching around looking for second hand or refurbished motors.
As such it has seen an increase in opportunities to supply replacement motors.
Though certainly not the largest unit we have shipped into the UK this year the pictured motor here has a certain special relevance to UK companies wanting to replace hoist motors.
This cute little MEBSGR200L Crane Hoist 17kW, 415V, 730rpm Slip Ring motor with an S4 40% Duty cycle was recently configured to match the existing motor envelope and delivered on time.
There are not many suppliers capable of supplying a slip ring motor of this size so if your hoists have obsolete or obsolescent frames coming to their end of life that need replacing let us help you by supplying a direct replacements from Menzel.
