Inspecting Hoist Control System

The control system is a critical component of the hoist & must be consistently inspected to identify signs of wear and tear. Check it over for any visible damage or malfunction. Then test each button or switch to ensure they are functioning properly and as intended.

Clean your control system on a regular basis. Use a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or debris from the control buttons. And absolutely avoid using harsh cleaning agents.

Excessive moisture can damage the control system.

When any component of your pendant is damaged, the part should be replaced promptly. You do not want to be working with faulty controls that could compromise the safety of your hoist, putting your operators in jeopardy.

Consult the manufacturer’s guidelines for replacement components. And always remember, you can seek the help of the experienced technicians here at DSM Hoist for ordering and installation.

We’re happy to help you.

merry Christmas

And the angels cry holy
All creation cries holy
You are lifted high, holy
Holy forever



Happy Birthday to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. “And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully.

Ephesians 3:19

just like the old days..

Our inspectors write all inspections in longhand.. before you say What? geesh… why? let me tell you, there are many benefits to operating in this way.. by the end, you may be a little inspired to get your own pen out and do some writing. ok benefits… For starters, we don’t deal with issues regarding internet connection or software malfunctions and we don’t pay attention to low batteries in electronic devices and such.. Here’s a list of other benefits to getting the pens out.

  1. Enhanced Cognitive Processes

Writing reports in longhand engages different cognitive processes compared to typing on a keyboard. Research has shown that the physical act of writing helps stimulate areas of the brain associated with memory, comprehension, and creativity. When we write by hand, we tend to think more deeply, process information more thoroughly, and remember details better. As a result, longhand writing leads to a more comprehensive and well-thought-out report.

2. Improved Focus and Attention

Writing reports in longhand can also improve focus & attention span. When you handwrite, you are less likely to be distracted by notifications, emails, or other digital temptations. By disconnecting from electronic devices, you create a more favorable environment for your thoughts to flow, allow you to concentrate better on the content and structure of your report, leading to a higher quality of work.

3. Enhanced Creativity and Expression

Longhand writing provides a greater sense of freedom and expression compared to typing. With a pen in hand, you have the opportunity to sketch, underline, annotate, and create visual diagrams as part of your report. These personalized elements can help convey your thoughts and ideas more effectively.

4. Enhanced Problem-Solving Skills

The process of writing reports in longhand can be an iterative one, with drafts and revisions being made directly on the page. This tactile approach provides an opportunity for critical thinking and problem-solving. By physically crossing out or rewriting sentences, you can analyze your ideas, restructure paragraphs, and refine your arguments. This hands-on method leads to stronger, more coherent writing and a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

I rest my case.

I tried to tell them, “but I’m a child of God; I rebuke witches in the name of Jesus!” but they insisted that I put this costume on.. I gave it some thought & Since purple accentuates my beautiful brown eyes , I thought “meh, okay just one pic…. THEN TAKE this OFF of me!”

So I’m sending you all best witches.. I mean Best WISHES & have fun collecting that candy!

& REMEMBER Be Safe out there!
