Knowing that cleaning and maintaining equipment is vital but time-consuming for automotive, construction and skilled trade professionals, WD-40 Company is introducing the WD-40® Specialist® Industrial-Strength Degreaser to help professionals easily and efficiently keep their machinery and equipment running smoothly and looking like new.

With PowerSolve TechnologyTM, a solvent that quickly breaks down grease, oil and dirt, the WD-40 Specialist Industrial-Strength Degreaser works on a variety of surfaces and is safe to use on metals, plastics, rubber, glass aluminum, and more.

“This powerful, solvent-based degreaser makes removing tough, caked-on grease, oil and dirt from machinery, engines and equipment easier than ever,” said Dr. Ernest Bernarducci, vice president of research and development at WD-40 Company. “It’s also the only degreaser on the market that has a permanently attached straw to help you pinpoint where to apply it.”

The product’s Smart Straw® sprays two ways – as a pinpoint stream when flipped up or as a wide spray when flipped down. Being able to control how and where to spray the product avoids messy overspray and helps professionals save time and money.

The WD-40 Specialist Industrial-Strength Degreaser’s fast-acting formula is 50-state VOC compliant. WD-40 Company also markets the WD-40 Specialist Machine & Engine Degreaser, a water-based degreaser that uses deep penetrating foaming action to remove tough, stuck grease.

The new WD-40 Specialist Industrial-Strength Degreaser is now available at select retailers and industrial distributors nationwide. For more information about the entire line of WD-40 Specialist products, visit WD40Specialist.com.

Longtime leading supplier of explosion proof lighting equipment Larson Electronics has announced the release of a 100 watt explosion proof LED light fixture for ceiling mount applications.

The EPL-HB-100LED-RT-CM explosion proof light fixture from Larson Electronics is a ceiling mounted LED light fixture that provides operators with a powerful and energy efficient alternative to traditional hazardous location luminaires.

This Class 1 Division 1 & 2, Class 2 Division 1 & 2 light fixture provides 8,667 lumens of high quality light while drawing only 100 watts of power. The cast aluminum body and LED lamp give this light excellent durability and resistance to vibration and impacts. The housing is specially designed to dissipate heat which increases the efficiency and lifespan of the LEDs and electronics. The copper free aluminum alloy body is powder coated for added durability and an attractive aesthetic appearance. This explosion proof LED light fixture is IP67 rated, dust-proof and protected against high pressure jets and temporary submersion. Light weight and a low profile make this unit an attractive alternative to larger and heavier older fixtures and require less hardware to install.

This explosion proof LED light fixture features multiple LED drivers which help increase the operational life of the fixture. With traditional LED lights, in the event an LED array or driver fails, the entire unit no longer illuminates. This new series of LED lamps contains two LED boards with an individual driver. In the event of a driver failure, only one bank of LEDs will be affected while the other banks will continue to operate. In the event that of an LED failure, the mating LED will continue to operate. The EPL-HB-100LED-RT-CM explosion proof LED fixture includes a flat surface ceiling mount with four ¾” NPT entries. This light is universal voltage capable and can be operated with 100-277 volts AC.

“This popular fixture was provided with a trunnion bracket for surface mounting as well as a hub for pendant mounting,” said Rob Bresnahan with Larsonelectronics.com. “By equipping it with a ceiling mount, this fixture is readily available for any mounting preference.”

Larson Electronics carries an extensive line of explosion proof LED lights, LED work lights, light towers, intrinsically safe LED lights, portable work lights and industrial grade LED area lights.

Sky Hook Ergonomic Portable Lifting Devices

All Sky Hook Industrial Lifting Devices offer safe and simple ways to lift up to 500 lbs in a variety of applications. The basic design of the Sky Hook remains the same across our entire product line: the only difference is the style of base chosen to mount it in. Changing the base style gives the Sky Hook an unlimited level of versatility to adapt to all types of industrial lifting requirements.

While the Sky Hook can be modified to the limits of the customer’s imagination and lifting requirements, the standard design consists of a few main elements that allow it to stand out from the crowd as a unique, safe, and easy-to-use ergonomic lifting device. 

Lightweight Lifting Device Structured to Withstand Extreme Lifting
The core of the Sky Hook’s design is its structure. Built with only the highest quality structural steel tubing and featuring 100% welds, it can withstand extreme industrial lifting abuse while  weighing as little as 26 lbs. Every component has built-in limitations that far exceed the lifting capacity of the Sky Hook–ensuring its ability to be the most trusted piece of equipment in the shop.

Sky Hook Lifting Device Features
The Sky Hook also boasts many cool features like its fully lubricated swivel hookcapable of rotating 360° with the touch of a finger, while supporting a 500 lb. load. It also has has a swivel ergonomic handle and removable boom tube for easy storage.

One of the most distinguishing features of the Sky Hook is its spring brake design which gives it the ability to lift the load with true precision and accuracy. Our patented spring brake is a self locking brake mechanism that prevents the load from ever free falling or lowering without the user’s permission–making it one of the safest lifting devices on the market.

Skyhook Lifting Device Flexibility
The basic Sky Hook design shown below is found in all the Sky Hook models listed on the right. Each Sky Hook base (with the exception of the 8500 Series Tool Holder Base) utilizes the same exact Sky Hook. This gives users the flexibility to use the same Sky Hook over a variety of bases–fulfilling different needs within their specific process.

• Over 40 Years  experience making high-quality inexpensive lifting devices
• All Lifting devices are USA made and meet O.S.H.A. requirements
• All models of Sky Hook industrial lifting devices are made with the highest quality materials and  fabrication techniques
• Sky Hook customers always receive a quick response and speedy delivery
