With EXE Rise Hoists now being used on many of Neg Earths major shows, the team were keen to have official training to enable them to properly service and maintain their growing fleet. The Hoispital handle the annual inspection and certification for all of Neg Earth's motors and have recently serviced nearly 200 EXE Rise hoists, ready for a long stint of touring work coming up over the next 12 months.
The training session was presented by Adam Beaumont from Area Four Industries UK, Fabio Prada from Area Four Industries / Litec Italy and Giovanni Rebeschin from RWM Italy, and consisted of a full day of hands on workshop time, stripping down and reassembling hoists the hoists, fault-finding and load-testing.
The day also included a demonstration of the PLASA Award-winning EXE CELL, a load cell system that is fully integrated into the EXE Rise Hoist, providing accurate load monitoring via a bright clear display, overload and underload shut down feature, and free monitoring and management software.
Rick Williamson, 'head of the motors' at Neg Earth, commented: "The Exe Rise training was not only useful but also enjoyable for us guys at Neg Earth. I am really impressed with this hoist, the gear box is truly something special. From a technicians point of view The Exe Rise is great to work on and the service provided is second to none."
Kyle Byatt, Founder and owner of the Hoistpital, spoke very highly of the Hoists: "The training day really showed the benefits of the EXE Rise range. The unit has been refined to make a perfectly decent touring hoist that will rival what the industry have been using for years. They are a real market changer".
