Counterfeit Rotators in Circulation

Dynapac Rotating Company would like to warn all our customers that we have spotted non-Dynapac made hanging rotators being built and sold. These rotators look very similar to genuine Dynapac IG­-2 Hanging rotators but may not be engineered or manufactured with all the same safety features as a genuine Dynapac rotator. Dynapac is working to rectify any confusion, but please be cautious when buying any rotators from a third party or non-Dynapac source. For your safety, note the differences between Dynapac and non­-Dynapac rotators below. Non­Dynapac rotators may have:

• Smaller bearing housings
• No safety clutch
• Non-­marked eyebolts (No country of origin, weight rating, or proof of safety rating)
• Non-­welded hardware
• Thinner electrical wires with insufficient grounding
• Non-­grounded plugs
• No UL or other safety rating on plugs
• Wires that have not been insulated properly
• The rotator as a whole has not been UL rated
• No Dynapac name or logo
