About Corrosion and the added protection
Firstly corrosion is a naturally occurring process due to environmental influences and many types of metal will corrode over differing lengths of time and could be accelerated depending on the environment in which it is situated. The moisture in the air is a key component to corrosion as are certain chemicals and other substances. When metals start to corrode the surface will pit, rust and/or crack. Over time the corrosion process will affect the effectiveness and safety of the metal. In this case a lifting hoist. Failure of a lifting hoist whilst in use could be catastrophic so you would never use a rusting / corroded hoist.
Some metals offer more protection from corrosion than others, this is especially so if treated, such as with galvanization.
With the corrosion resistant Yale 360 chain hoist & trolley an additional coating is added to the whole unit, including the bottom hook. The specialized treatment uses the Delta Protekt KL 100 process which offers the protection required to reduce and delay the onset of corrosion, therefore extending the working life of your lifting hoist. Stainless steel load and hand chains are used in this set up because stainless in naturally resistant to corrosion.
The uses of this hoist is far reaching but is particularly suited to damp or chemical areas such as dye or paper factories, abattoirs, some parts of the food industry, dairy’s, farming, sewage treatment and much more.
