The hoists are being used to transport and set up the stainless steel that the parts are made from.

“It's easy and light to pull by hand, and operates great” a spokesman for Ebisawa Seiki Seisakusho, said (pictured). "Every employee seems to enjoy manufacturing here, giving Ebisawa a family atmosphere."

The EQ hoist, which comes in a sleek, rounded case, was revolutionary at its launch, according to Kito and is integrated with the motor, making it compact and light, but highly durable for a long product life.
