Lucky Peak Dam 250 Ton Gate Hoists -

Design, build, and install two 200 ton emergency gate hoists & remove existing emergency gate hoists and machinery.

Lucky Peak Dam is located on the Boise River. These hoists are used to lift emergency gates in the powerhouse.

The hoists for this project were designed, manufactured, and tested at the WEMCO facility by our highly trained and qualified team.

Each hoist was load tested to 125% of the rated capacity as shown below. The weights for load testing weighed half a million pounds.

The facility is only accessible from a long narrow bridge & the entire installation was done through a 4-foot wide roof opening.
