A crane, hoist, or other equipment item often goes unnoticed until something grinds to a halt. In some cases, it’s when that hoist doesn’t come to a halt. Since nothing ever breaks at a time convenient to a work schedule, replacing electric hoist components requires quality parts and a trained maintenance team that can meet any work schedule or other requirements. Protek Crane Solutions has both.

We carry replacement components assembled or certified by the original manufacturers for every hoist and other equipment item we sell. Over time, brake components require replacement for proper operation and, in some cases, to maintain the manufacturer’s warranty.

The Harrington MRQ Brake Resistor is an excellent example of the replacement components we have in stock. This 400-volt device provides a reliable power flow for operational requirements while reducing the risk of damage. The MRQ’s precision design absorbs power surges and dissipates heat, providing full function and increasing safety for hoist operators. It isn’t just a replacement; the MRQ is an upgrade for commercial and industrial operations.

Key features include:

• The compact, lightweight design makes for quick, simple installation. 

• Durable construction allows it to function under heavy usage in severe conditions. 

• It meets all industry standards and safety requirements. 

• It matches efficiently with multiple braking systems, allowing small and large businesses to use it with more than one hoist or crane when necessary.

Regardless of which component needs replacing, Protek technicians can accomplish it quickly and efficiently. Our teams are on-call and can arrive at 10:00 AM on a Tuesday or at 10:00 PM on a weekend to keep the swing shift up and running. 

Whether you purchased your hoist with us or another company, our technicians aim to swiftly bring it back online so you can continue supporting your customers. To keep day-to-day operations moving, Protek maintenance teams also create a service schedule that works around your needs.
