What readings tell you when it’s time for air compressor maintenance? Your system often gives you clear signals when it’s time for maintenance and TLC. In this article, Kaishan reviews the key metrics to watch including operating hours, oil level condition and pressure differentials.

Have you ever wondered why there are so many different hydraulic hose standards in use across industries, regions, and applications? This Parker Blog compares manufacturer-driven and region-specific standards like SAE and how they compare to the global ISO 18752 standard.

Challenge: A new waterpark planned along the Des Moines River needed to build a Wave Shaper to create artificial waves that would be used for surfing, kayaking, canoeing or wakeboard.

Solution: Partnering with Parker, Exotic designed and manufactured several custom solutions including power units, cylinders, hoses and fittings that would get the 30 foot steel Wave Shaper moving. The project included more than 60 hours of engineering, design and installation. Read the Parker case study here.

When large systems need a reliable safety stop, the right protection matters. EB63–EB160 Safety Shock Absorbers from ACE Controls are designed to absorb extreme energy during emergency stop situations, helping protect cranes, gantry systems, conveyors and heavy automation equipment from costly damage.

Join Kaishan for a webinar on Thursday, May 28th at 11:00am where they will break down how to evaluate compressed air systems based on application-level risk, not assumptions.

Using real-world examples across industries, Kaishan will show how leading plants structure their systems to balance performance, reliability and total cost of ownership. You’ll leave with a practical framework to identify where you’re overspending, where you may be exposed and how to make more confident decisions moving forward. Register here!

Enerpac Hydraulic Gantries are a safe, efficient way to lift and position heavy loads in applications where traditional cranes will not fit and permanent overhead structures for job cranes are not an option. When used with rail systems, hydraulic gantries also provide a means for moving and placing heavy loads. Hydraulic gantries are a cost effective solution for many lifting and rigging applications.
