ETAC A/S Recalls Molift Mover 300 Mobile Hoists Due to Structural Component Failure

What Happened

ETAC A/S is recalling the Molift Mover 300 mobile hoist after a customer reported that a bolt used for mounting the lifting bar broke during assembly and load testing. A subsequent investigation revealed that material deformation occurs between the bolt and the fork in the joint connecting the lifting bar to the device’s arm. This deformation can lead to limited mobility in the joint, preventing the equipment from functioning as intended.
