Why Whiting Single Axle Drop Tables?
Whiting Drop Table Lasts 66 Years and continued working after Hurricane Katrina
Whiting has a remarkable track record in the railcar maintenance industry, characterized by long-lasting, high-performance equipment. A testament to this is a veteran railway lift table that continued working even after the catastrophic Hurricane Katrina floods in New Orleans. This particular Whiting Drop Table, a 60-ton four-screw lift table, entered service in 1949, making it an industry stalwart.
Despite being submerged for two weeks during the hurricane, this heavy-duty Whiting Drop Table required only minimal maintenance to get it back into operation. The lifting screws were regreased, and the motors were rewound before it was put back into the pit. Astonishingly, it ran for another 10 years, showcasing the exceptional durability and robust manufacturing of Whiting’s mechanical and electrical components.
Whiting Single Axle Drop Tables are a testament to durability, performance, and reliability. Whether you require flexible design options, pre-assembly, or load testing, Whiting has your railcar maintenance needs covered. Trust in Whiting’s legacy of excellence and choose Single Axle Drop Tables that are built to last and excel in the toughest conditions.
