Lifting Solution for Social Distancing Times
Sky Hook, a one-operator lifting solution from Syclone ATTCO Service, replaces two-person or team-lifts that violate current 6-foot proximity policies. The device is more readily available than installing an overhead crane, and the company is waiving rush charges to accommodate the urgent needs of essential manufacturing businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.

While many companies have temporarily closed their doors or made changes for personal safety, essential businesses are rapidly ramping up production to meet the growing demands brought on by the nation’s present challenge – manufacturers all over the country are in full swing bringing medical supplies, equipment, and other necessities to market as quickly as possible to assist the growing number of individuals impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
But social distancing policies make some vital operations either challenging or impossible to perform safely. Two-person lifts are currently prohibited due to the proximity between employees. And implementing new overhead crane solutions is not only expensive but can take three to four months before they’re operational; not to mention training.
How do companies working with limited or restricted staff maintain operational efficiency, while meeting critical safety and ergonomic standards?
Syclone ATTCO Service (Letha, ID) has the answer: The Sky Hook is the ergonomic lifting device many companies are reaching for because it provides a safe, single-operator lifting solution to meet today’s health and safety needs.
Customizable and lightweight the Sky Hook lifting device suits numerous applications across countless industries.
Both OSHA and ASME compliant, the company’s equipment integrates easily into operations and provides a timely and effective solution to those in need.
“During this time of crisis, we’ve been contacted by many companies seeking lifting solutions to fill these lifting needs, and Sky Hook has been proud to rise to the occasion!” says Dusty White, technical sales manager.
Using the Sky Hook lifting device, employees can safely work independently to perform critical lifts, which, if done with team lifts, would violate many local government and company policies now in place.
“We are currently waiving our production expedite charges on both custom and standard units so customers can obtain the lifting solution that they need in a timely and efficient manner to keep up with their current production demand,” White adds. “We also have cleanroom modifications available, allowing our products to adapt to a variety of work environments. Americans all across our nation are pulling together to meet this adversity head-on and Sky Hook is proud to do its part!”
