CHAINMASTER declare 2M FEM class for their flagship D8 Plus Ultra chain hoist models
FEM is the European materials handling federation, who create and publish standards for the material handling industry, relating to duty, operating time and lifespan of the hoist.
To satisfy particular market trends, CHAINMASTER were encouraged to review the existing FEM classifications of their products. After many hours of hard work and testing by the technical team in Germany, it became apparent that the driving mechanism of our 250kg, 500kg and 1000kg D8 Plus hoists are appropriately designed and rated to confirm with FEM 9.511, 2m Status.
This upgrade comes with no changes or modification to the existing design, meaning that this declaration can be made with immediate effect, and all future machines will be marked and classified as such.
Adam Beaumont, Head of Sales at CHAINMASTER said, “This is a welcome elevation to our main product range, that we hope will be well accepted by our customers”.
Since the introduction of CHAINMASTER products in 1994, the Saxon medium-sized company has evolved into one of the world’s leading manufacturers of lifting equipment in the event industry, offering a comprehensive product range for all requirements from basic operations to complex scenic movements and complete show automation. National and international projects are individually supported from planning to commissioning and user training, and the global network of CHAINMASTER Consulting Offices, trade partners, and trained service centers ensures appropriate after-sales service. Currently, approximately 125,000 chain hoists are in use, and CHAINMASTER exports to 55 countries worldwide. Among the company’s references are projects such as the construction of the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, the Louvre in Lens, the Stockholm Opera, the Almaty Ice Arena, the 2014 Sochi Olympics, or the Helmut List Hall in Graz.
