HMI-certified crane meets multiple standards

Demag is the first manufacturer to receive the Hoist Manufacturer Institute (HMI) certification for its DC line of electric chain hoists. HMI is a trade association affiliated with the Material Handling Industry of America (MHIA).
HMI Certification requires a stringent and thorough evaluation by an independent third party professional engineer of the product's technical design and specifications. Product design and test data was reviewed and certified to ensure Demag's DC chain hoists conform to North American standards that include the Performance Standards for Electric Chain Hoists ASME HST 1-1999 reaffirmed (2004), Safety Standard for Overhead Hoists ANSI B30.16, and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70 Article 610.
Also required for certification was availability of product safety, installation, operation, maintenance, and spare parts manuals, the availability of product training and technical support, life cycle spare parts availability, and qualified service and repair capabilities.-immeditorial@cancom.com
