2023-01-20

Since 2012, Everest Engineering Equipment has been the exclusive distributor of GJJ passenger hoists and platforms in India. The company has grown tremendously with many new customers and repeat buyers, says PV Ramdev, Managing Director, Everest Engineering Equipment.

He added, “Everest is gearing up to expand its footprints into each corner of India, and setting up a manufacturing plant near Mumbai to develop world-class equipment with an eye to export markets.”

Some of the unique features of the GJJ hoist are:
GJJ hoists are not new in India, with customers like L&T, Lanco, and are having 18-20 years old hoists, which are still working well.

The structure is of ST52-3 with high tensile strength and thus wall tie supports are required at an interval of 9 to 10 m distance only. The number of supports is less than other hoists

GJJ unique design gives a power saving of 35 to 40 per cent with a full load and full speed

Fully galvanised structure enables a life span of 20 to 25 years

SEW/Nord drive mechanism with Siemens PLC and VFD gives the highest reliability

Standard cage size of 3.2m length x 1.5m width x 2.35m height, and bigger cage sizes of 3.6m length x 1.5m width x 2.35m height, 4.0m length x 1.5m width x 2.35m height. Even the width is up to 2m

Foolproof safety from all aspects and meets European standards

GJJ standard hoist is designed to go up to 500m height with 24 passengers

Speeds from 46m/min to 96m/min according to the height/speed requirements

Buyback offered for up to four years

Business expansion plans
Says Ramdev, nowadays, buildings are made up to 400m high, the locally made equipment can go up to 100 to 150m. GJJ standard passenger hoist can easily reach 500m and have an average lifespan of 20 years. At our R&D centre, we will make the products as per international standards. We will develop, document and do stringent quality control since we also plan to target the export market.

Our sales and service team are present all over India. We recently expanded our dealer network to reach every part of India and ensure services within 24 hours in any part of India. This service efficiency has been the sole reason behind our spectacular growth.”

Because of the highest safety and reliability, the recent orders from Tata Steel, and Kalinga Nagar Odisha, to name a few are feathers on our cap.

Rebar processing equipment
“Our high-speed CNC rebar processing equipment like a stirrup bender, double bender, lattice girder machines, shear line, weld mesh plant and pile cage making machines are in high demand. Infrastructure construction are getting increased day by day at a higher pace. These types of high-speed equipment are inevitable to achieve the project timelines,” he says.

Safety
“We have a separate safety department with a safety officer and supervisors to teach and implement the highest safety standards on every customer site. We maintain safety standards up to ISO 45001 to ensure the health and safety of the people, equipment, and environment.”

Training
He adds, “Our customers are expected to not only maintain the equipment but also maintain its documentation. Therefore, our engineers check the maintenance documentation periodically and cross-check it with the equipment at work. We also conduct training camps every month for our customers and engineers. We ongoingly train our service engineers and technicians to impact effective maintenance of each piece of equipment. We are ISO 9001:2015 certified by TUV.”
