Built for hoists that move, lift and matter.

Petrochemical and LNG worksites depend on hundreds of chain hoists — each one certified, inspected, and accounted for. Lose track of one and a job can be shut down. ip³Hoist Management keeps every unit visible and audit-ready.

Real-time location

Know exactly where every chain hoist is on the jobsite — by laydown yard, unit, or contractor crew.

Safety certificate on file

Store the latest load-test certificate per unit. Field crews scan and view it in the app before rigging.

Re-certification reminders

Automatic reminders to operations staff as each hoist approaches its annual inspection due date.

Incident & harsh-fall detection

Sensor flags shock events. Field personnel can move a unit from Deployed to Needs Inspection in one tap.

Status workflow

Deployed → Needs Inspection → In Re-Cert → Certified. Clear chain of custody for every hoist.

Days-of-service tracking

Live countdown of days since last certification — no more guessing at compliance during audits.

How it works

One sensor per hoist. One subscription. A complete record that travels with the unit from the laydown yard to the lift point and back to inspection.
