During the summer of 2007 the Hampton Operations hoist number one was put
out of service due to a cracked and leaking rear cylinder. Crown Maintenance of
Oshawa ran several tests before finding that this hoist is leaking from the bottom
portion of the cylinder at the rear twin cylinders.
This hoist is twenty plus years of age and has provided many years of reliable
service with minimal repairs required. This hoist is used on a daily basis by Fleet
Services to service and repair all of the municipal fleet. This is a 60,000 Ib hoist
which will be replaced with a 75,000 Ib capacity hoist complete with both front
and rear cylinder safety locks, as requested by the Ministry of Labour. The
replacement of this hoist at this time is critical to the daily operations of Fleet
Services.
The estimated cost for the replacement is $60,000, financing is recommended
from the Operations Equipment Fleet Reserve Fund and it is recommended that
the 2007 budget account number 110-36-388-83642-7401 be amended to
include this item.
The Director of Finance has reviewed and concurs with the recommendation.
