SAIA member PCI launched a newly redesigned material hoist for use in a boiler during a shut down. This product is manufactured by GEDA, GmbH in Bavaria, Germany and can collapse to fit through an 18 in. boiler opening; it is utilized to build scaffolding inside the boiler.
Markus Haschner of GEDA GmbH, stated,“Working with PCI to redevelop this unique product has been a great experience, we look forward to the continued cooperation”. The new boiler hoist is available through GEDA’s North American distributors Century Elevators and GEDA, USA.
