its chief operating officer, led a site visit to shoot elevations of the floor compared to the elevation of the floor-mounted track system. Cream City Scale, also of Illinois, was then tasked with completing load tests utilizing test brackets, slings, and test weights. The process involved turning the hand-wheel to raise all weights off of supports to maximum height, holding them for two minutes, before lowering them down again. Two sizes of test weight—1,000-lb. and 500-lb.—were used to complete three testing procedures. PIP-II will provide powerful, high-
intensity proton beams to the laboratory’s experiments. PIP-II will enable the world’s most intense neutrino beam and help scientists search for rare particle physics processes. These investigations will require intense beams of protons, which will produce gushers of other neutrinos that scientists can then study in greater detail. At the heart of the PIP-II accelerator
is a technology that provides for a highly efficient way to accelerate particle beams. Superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities make it possible to accelerate intense proton beams to higher energies in relatively
short distances. A string comprising several of these cavities nestles in a cryomodule, which bathes them in liquid helium and keeps them at the ultra-cold temperature that is key to their operation and efficiency. Sakash added: “Physics has always been
something of a guilty pleasure of mine so to get an opportunity to help [Fermilab] with this fascinating project was a huge honor. We are proud to be associated with the laboratory and have enjoyed productive conversations recently about providing additional equipment for upcoming material handling challenges.” John Sakash Company and The Caldwell
Group are currently working on two additional lifting equipment projects for the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. y
Columbus McKinnon Exhibits New Products Among Range of Hoist and Lifting Equipment at ICUEE 2019
> Columbus McKinnon Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCO), a leading designer and manufacturer of motion control products,
technologies, and services for material handling, exhibited at the International Construction & Utility Equipment Exposition (ICUEE) 2019 held in Louisville, KY, October 1-3. Visitors experienced Columbus McKinnon’s array of hoist and lifting equipment, including the new Little Mule 322C/344C strap hoist and Magnetek brand wireless controls and cable reels. “As the next generation in a long line
of dependable Little Mule products, the 322C/344C Series is designed for durability and ease of use,” said Craig Kaufman, application and product specialist for industrial products. “With a rugged and durable design featuring a lightweight cast aluminum frame, as well as corrosion- resistant stainless-steel springs and frame shafts, the 322C/344C strap hoist offers increased reliability and improved operation.” Built with safety in mind, the handle bends to alert operators of possible overloads and includes pegged thumbscrews for added security. In addition to the Little Mule 322C/344C strap hoist, the CM Tornado, Series 602, and a selection of Coffing chain hoists will be on display.
