Advice and specials: customised hoisting and lifting solutions
Can't find a solution for your lifting or hoisting challenge within our extensive range of standard products? Don't panic! Van Gool will be happy to help you find a customised solution for your lifting or hoisting problem. We not only provide expert advice, we also develop so-called specials. These are products that we make especially for your specific application. We can work on the basis of your specifications, but we can also conceive a solution tailor-made for your hoisting or lifting needs and have it designed for you. Our customised products guarantee a safe and efficient solution for your specific lifting or hoisting application, so that you can focus on what your company excels in. So, feel free to contact us to discuss your hoisting problem!
A few examples of our specials
In the more than 35 years that we've been in business, we’ve been able to advise many customers and deliver some outstanding specials. Examples include customised crane scales for Tata Steel in IJmuiden and delivering an emergency solution for hoisting drill pipes for Shell. Another example is the 18-metre hoisting beam that we had developed for our valued customer, Volker Rail & Traffic. The very lightweight hoist traverse beam that we supplied was made to hoist rails with a maximum weight of 7.2 tonnes. In addition, the lifting beam consisted of three interchangeable demountable parts. Many other hoisting jobs using a traverse or hoisting beam are also specials in themselves. We recently delivered a hoisting beam with coil hooks with a capacity of 7t.
Digital measuring equipment for offshore applications
There is currently a lot of work to be done in the field of measuring tensile strength and lengths when coiling cables (both onshore and offshore). We see that this is increasingly shifting from wired measurement to remote measurement. The solutions for this are often projects in their own right. We specialise in offshore applications and are affiliated with the AYOP. We work for companies that lay and clean up cables on the sea bed. We advise these companies on the purchase and use of digital measuring equipment, such as Blue link from Straightpoint and CableSafe from Deme. These devices can, for example, prevent power cables from being pulled apart under water.
Safety is also a top priority for our specials
Safety is a matter of course at Van Gool, and is therefore our most important focus when developing our specials. Every solution and every product we supply has a safety certificate. We have NEN-EN-ISO 9001, SCC* and EKH (Approved Inspection Companies for Hoisting and Lifting Equipment) certification. We are also a member of the Metaalunie. You can rely on our custom-made hoisting and lifting equipment to provide an efficient, but above all, safe customised solution for your hoisting challenge!
