What is HMI?What is HMI?The Hoist Manufacturer’s Institute (HMI), an affiliate of MaterialHandling Industry, is a trade association of manufacturers of overheadhandling hoists. HMI members are the Industry’s leading suppliers ofhoisting equipment including hand chain hoists, ratchet lever hoists,trolleys, air chain hoists, air wire rope hoists, electric chain hoists, andelectric wire rope hoists. HMI operates through committees withprograms and policies reviewed and adopted by the membership withrepresentation from each member company. Its many activitiesinclude an active engineering committee. HMI is represented on anumber of standards developing committees and actively supports thedevelopment and certification of safety standards by the ANSIconsensus method.HMI MissionOur Mission is to deliver exceptional value to our members, channelpartners, consumers, end-users and industry associates.HMI achieves this through: Educational MaterialsMarketing InformationStandards DevelopmentMember Professional DevelopmentHMI VisionHMI is recognized as the leading authority and the principal resourcein the hoist industry.

This may be contrasted with the practices of many European manufacturers who build andprovide products for specific applications and state mandated removal from service dates for overhaul orreplacement. The Hoist Manufacturers Institute (HMI) has created the 'Comparison of Hoist Duty ServiceClassifications, as described in United States and European Wire Rope Hoist Specifications', to offer thisinformation to those considering purchase and use of overhead handling hoists (excluding Electric ChainHoists). FREE DOWNLOAD.#10194 - HMI Consensus of the National Electrical CodeThe 1999 National Electrical Code has a number of paragraphs in it affecting electric chain and wire ropehoists. Some of these paragraphs are subject to carrying interpretations. Therefore, acting through theelectrical engineering subcommittee of the HMI engineering committee, and with the approval of the HMIBoard of Directors, the Hoist Manufacturers Institute has developed and authorized the publication of theconsensus contained within the pamphlet. It is hoped that the HMI Consensus will be mutually helpful to users,manufacturers and sellers of electric chain and wire rope hoists.
