OZ Lifting to Show New Stainless Steel Davit Crane at WEFTEC

OZ Lifting Products LLC will demonstrate its first stainless steel davit crane at the Water Environment Federation’s Technical Exhibition & Conference (WEFTEC), which takes place Sept. 27-Oct. 1 at Chicago’s McCormick Place. The exhibition runs on the final three days of the event; see OZ Lifting at Booth 5806.

The product, which will be available in 500 lb. and 1,000 lb. capacities, meets the unique material, dimension, and lifting requirements of these markets. The water and wastewater sector typically specifies type 304 and 316 stainless steel; the latter is a requirement in coastal and marine applications.

Full-scale production is expected to commence in time for OZ Lifting to deliver stock to its distribution network prior to Q1 2026. The stainless steel davit crane will be compatible with the pedestal, socket, wall mount, and wheel bases for ultimate flexibility when looking to install the system in a variety of locations and applications.

Full Davit Crane Range

Already familiar to WEFTEC attendees is the Tele-Pro davit crane range, which is available in 500 lb., 1,200 lb. and 2,500 lb. capacities, and allows users to leverage the benefits of the company’s other davits, while telescoping the boom in and out under load. The series remains an excellent fit for wastewater and water treatment applications.

Also popular among wastewater professionals are the CompOZite and CompOZite Elite davit cranes. The 1,200-lb. capacity CompOZite davit crane is renowned for being ultra-lightweight and having exceptional corrosion resistance. It is made from advanced composite material and weighs only 83 lb. The carbon fiber CompOZite Elite, meanwhile, is the world’s most innovative davit crane, offering the same capacity as the CompOZite, but with a total crane weight of only 37 lbs.

OZ Lifting will also show its complete stainless series, including push beam trolleys, beam clamps, chain hoists, lever hoists, and winches. All manual winches on display can be drill driven and include a drill drive adapter. These solutions are engineered for corrosion resistance, low maintenance, and long service life in harsh water environments. They are compact, lightweight, and durable, making them ideal for confined spaces and demanding lift points.

Miller will be joined in Chicago by Steve Napieralski, president; and Parker Hale, inside sales specialist.
