Some pictures from Factory

[Titan winch]

It has been quite some time since I have sent pictures back from my visits. The reason is that with our growth over the last couple of years what was once 4 or 5 trips a year has now become a bi monthly occurrence I returned from Shanghai on Saturday night and I leave again on the 3 Rd ,a day short of two weeks and I am booking my next trip for the end of July.so as you can see we keep very busy.
You hear a lot about Duty cycle and how it pertains to welding and just what steps are taken to actually have accurate readings for this.
First you need to have a ambient temperature set as a example Canada has recently increased the temperature required to 47 degrees from 40 c for the rest of the world.
Below are the temperature controlled " ovens used in determining the duty cycle rating. This has to be done this way for accuracy . Imagine sitting a unit on a freezing concrete floor in the middle of winter and wondering why the readings are different from when you did this in summer in 90' weather.

When I am working at the factory I normally get Sunday's off. When the factory is doing our production runs they will either work 5.5 days or 6 days depending on the time frame . In the evenings I like to go for a walk to just relax and on the weekends when I am not working I go wandering around a bit

I enjoy your pictures from China. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the updates.

So is Everlast using 47° for all models to calculate duty cycle or just CA versions? I don't think it's ever been 47° in Canada, anyway. I routinely see over 40° every summer.

There are a couple of USA models that have the 47 degree rating but these are the smaller power arc series. Most for the USA still use the world standard of 40 .
It is only Canada that decided to change the standards a couple of years ago and to be honest I don't think many manufacturers have bothered to comply with it .
There is a lot of stuff on the market. That has duty cycle ratings with nothing to back the claims ,I see this all the time on my travels to various places.
