Radial Gate Hoist
The David Round Company, www.davidround.com, has announced a new service to help retrofit radial gate hoists for water gating applications. The company can meet original equipment design specifications with a drop-in replacement, or reverse-engineer existing equipment via on-site inspection.
David Round hoists can lift gates up to 50,000 pounds, and meet detailed government, power authority and gate builder specifications. Designed for continuous operation, the hoists lift and position radial, tainter and bulkhead gates to control water through spillways and navigation canals. They are commonly configured with two drums for dual point lifting. Single drum and other designs are available.
In addition to retrofit gate hoists, David Round also designs and builds new units to meet unique site-specific specifications. All David Round gate hoists are certified by professional engineers. The company has completed numerous successful projects for the United States Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and other agencies.
Established in 1869, The David Round Company remains one of the oldest hoist manufacturers in the world. David Round offers standard handling products such as chain hoists, jib cranes, winches and tractor drives as well as innovative solutions including engineered wire rope hoists, all stainless steel chain hoists and jib crane motorization kits.
