Why APPI: When faced with the need to rotate a large aircraft nose assembly 180 degrees in order to install landing gear modules, a major aircraft manufacturer utilized a pair of Columbia AC Electric Strap Hoists from Allied Power Products, Inc. (APPI).

APPI provided two of their standard HD650 AC electric hoists with a strap drum option for this application. Each of the two-strap hoists winds a 2″ wide strap flat on the drum, eliminating the problems associated with wire rope spooling. The hoists are installed on a custom rotation fixture suspended from an overhead crane, and each ac electric hoist has 650 lbs. of lifting capacity at a speed of 21 feet per minute.

Two 15 foot long pendant controls allow precise positioning, and electrically released brakes ensure reliable load holding while the nose assembly is being rotated into position.
