Ketten Wälder expands its Cromox range.
Roman Auer, chief technical director at Ketten Wälder, highlighted that Cromox’s combination of performance and corrosion resistance makes it an ideal choice for critical industries like pharmaceuticals and food processing, which require both safety and cleanliness in their operations. “As industries around the world
increasingly demand corrosion-resistant lifting products, we have worked hard to ensure that our Cromox line continues to meet the stringent safety standards and regulations required in these sectors,” Auer explained. The company’s commitment to maintaining high standards of product quality and performance has earned it a loyal customer base, which continues to grow globally. In addition to its industrial applications,
Ketten Wälder has also made significant inroads into the marine sector, where the Cromox range of stainless steel lifting equipment is being recognized for its durability and reliability. Cromox’s collaboration with Jimmy
Green Marine, a UK-based provider of marine products, is one example of how the company is expanding its reach into new markets. Through this partnership, Cromox has been able to offer stainless steel anchor chains, shackles, and other lifting equipment to yacht owners and boat operators worldwide. These products,
known for their strength and corrosion resistance, are becoming increasingly popular in the maritime sector, especially among owners of larger vessels and yachts that require reliable, long-lasting equipment for their operations. The strength of the Cromox brand lies
not only in its quality but also in the fact that it continues to meet the evolving needs of industries where performance, longevity, and reliability are non-negotiable. As industries around the world place greater emphasis on sustainability, Ketten Wälder’s focus on providing corrosion- resistant products aligns with the growing demand for environmentally responsible solutions. By offering lifting products that can withstand harsh conditions while maintaining their performance over time, Ketten Wälder is contributing to the broader shift toward more sustainable industrial practices. Meanwhile, GIS has also been making
waves in the lifting industry, particularly with its groundbreaking work on Mount Titlis in Switzerland. As one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Alps, Mount Titlis attracts millions of visitors every year. However, the mountain’s remote location and harsh weather conditions present significant challenges when it comes to transporting materials for construction projects.
GIS has responded to these challenges with its underload transport system, which is helping to ensure that materials are efficiently lifted to the summit for the ongoing construction of new infrastructure. This includes the building of a new mountain station and the extension of a famous radio tower, both of which require the precise and safe transport of large and heavy loads. The GIS system is designed to operate seamlessly in extreme conditions, with safety features that allow it to function even in the face of low visibility, strong winds, and other challenging weather conditions that are typical in high-altitude environments. The system’s electric chain hoists, integrated control units, and advanced monitoring systems ensure that materials are lifted with precision and safety, regardless of the challenges posed by the environment. GIS’s technology has enabled Titlis
Bergbahnen to carry out its construction project efficiently and safely, minimizing delays and ensuring that critical infrastructure can be delivered on time. The success of this system is a testament to GIS’s commitment to providing solutions for even the most demanding lifting and transport challenges. Its systems are designed to provide maximum safety, efficiency, and reliability, making them an ideal choice for demanding applications in industries like construction, transportation, and logistics.
