When the U.S. Navy sent a S. O.S. to help move this giant crane, we dispatched two ofourJDN PROFI100 ton pneumatic hoists. The results was a complete victory for us both.

Saving the day for our customers is always satisfying, but forJDN it's not new. Our hoists have been solving weighty problems in more than 90 countries all over the world

In this case the 100 ton pneumatic hoists were used on site to level these 310 ton cranes. Incredible size and capacity ratio, precision engineering and construction, and their dependability on only 85 PSI compressed air operation made the JDN PROFI the perfect choice for the job.

But this hoist, and the rest of the world famous PROFI series, can operate at the same performance level mounted overhead on trolleys and in low overhead situations. They are unaffected by dampness, moisture, steam or heat, and the pneumatic operation makes them ideal for situations where sparks and electrical problems cannot be tolerated

The ultra sensitive, pull cord speed regulation, built into every PROFI hoist, was key to this precision Navy operation. The ability of the hoists to be left running indefinitely without damage adds to the exceptional versatility of the PROFI Line.

The J.D. Neuhaus Corporation offers a full line with capacities from 500 lbs. to 100 tons, pneumatic hoists, plus a wide variety of trolleys and hoists that operate at 60 PSI or hydraulic power.

For your next impossible challenge, or for efficient everyday operation, do what the U.S. Navy did. Send a

S.O.S. to J.D. Neuhaus Corporation.
