Can hoists be environmentally friendly? This question was raised by J.D. Neuhaus GmbH & Co. KG, the leading German manufacturer of air hoists and cranes.

“Of course they can“ says Wilfried Neuhaus-Galladé, Managing Director of JDN, „and that is why the environmentally conscious management is a fundamental component of the corporate pol-icy at J.D. Neuhaus.“

Starting with the development and production of products, JDN places great value on ecological compatibility. Long service life and recyclability already make an important contribution towards relieving the environmental burden. In addition JDN Products can be oil-free operated due to the selflubricating motor. That results in zero lubricant emission. Sound pressure levels and air consump-tions are minimised continuously.

Furthermore the production facilities have been adapted to mini-mise energy consumption, emissions, sewage and waste. Environmentally friendly production proc-esses and materials are also employed. One of the most important commitments of the J.D. Neu-haus management is to promote awareness, openness and a sense of responsibility among employees in order to establish conditions favour-able to the implementation of the JDN Environ-mental Guidelines.

The certification process for the JDN Environ-mental Management System acc. to ISO 14001 is already running at full speeds.
