HYDRA SET®
Precision Load Positioner
Installed
between the crane (or hoist) and the load, Hydra-Set is a valuable
positioning device that enables the operator to place heavy
objects from 1/2-ton up to 250 tons with .001 in. precision.
Major benefits are reduced rework costs due to damaged loads,
increased labor efficiency, improved production time and less
downtime.
