OZ Lifting To Highlight New Tele-Pro Davit Crane at ProMat
OZ Lifting Products LLC will show its upgraded Tele-Pro davit crane and other industrial lifting products at ProMat 2025 at Chicago’s McCormick Place from March 17-20.
OZ Lifting’s upgraded Tele-Pro davit crane will be on display at ProMat Booth S309. The company exhibited at the previous show in 2023. |
The Winona, Minnesota-based manufacturer is known for a wide range of davit cranes, but the recently relaunched Tele-Pro davit crane, also patented, and available in 500 lbs., 1,200 lbs. and 2,500 lbs. capacities, allows users to leverage the benefits of OZ Lifting’s other cranes, while telescoping the boom in and out under load.
While all lifting specifications, hook reach, and lifting heights remain the same, the company will be highlighting multiple updates being displayed for the first time to ProMat attendees. These include smoother boom operation under load, enhanced maneuverability, clearer capacity limits and industrial, high-visibility powder coat and simplified maintenance. All the new features will be showcased during on-site demonstrations at Oz Lifting’s ProMat Booth S309.
“ProMat provides us an opportunity to better serve and understand these vast and complex industries and markets,” said Steve Napieralski, president at OZ Lifting. “We’re conscious that we are among a dwindling community of lifting equipment vendors at the show. We often hear that we are one of the only hoist or lifting equipment manufacturers present, which allows us to strengthen our brand awareness.”
Napieralski noted that Oz Lifting likes to understand the users’ applications and struggles in the field, which helps with new product development.
Inspired by technology and advanced testing, OZ Lifting engineers developed a smoother, more consistent telescoping experience on the Tele-Pro, even under load. This improvement allows operators to manage loads with reduced resistance and strain, streamlining tasks and enhancing safety on the job.
In addition, a handle has also been added to the crane, allowing for more accurate load rotation and control with a full 360 degrees of maneuverability. This added control allows r operators to position loads with precision in tight or high-stakes environments.
The Tele-Pro crane now has a high-visibility yellow powder coat finish, replacing the previous zinc-plated coating, boosting both durability and corrosion resistance. Additionally, Oz Lifting now includes dual rating decals displaying both imperial and metric load capacities at various boom angles to ensure that operators can quickly verify load limits in real time.
Also, the addition of top and bottom grease zerk fittings simplifies the lubrication process, extending the crane’s lifespan and enhancing overall performance without adding operational downtime.
Oz Lifting will also debut a wheelbase that can be used with the full range of davit cranes up to 1,200 lbs. capacity; and wireless adapters for electric chain hoists and builder’s (wire rope) hoists.
The electric chain hoist is available in 500 lbs., 1,000 lbs., 2,000 lbs., and 4,000 lbs. capacities; and the builder’s hoist in 500 lbs. and 1,000 lbs. capacities. Wireless adapters are available for all models, apart from the lightest electric chain hoist. There is also room on the booth for a full range of lever and chain hoists, including stainless-steel and spark-resistant models.
