MANHEIM, Pa. — The popular movie “Dolphin Tale” was filmed at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Clearwater, Florida, in late 2011. The movie was based on a true story about Winter, a bottlenose dolphin that was rescued in Florida and taken to the aquarium for help.
Harrington Sales Representative Ted Rust and Jonathan Correa of Florida Handling Systems visited the aquarium shortly after the movie was released to evaluate the hoist used at the dolphin tank and determined it was very old and would need significant repair. Management at Harrington Hoists and Florida Handling Systems decided to partner together and in 2013 completed an eight-month project to help with some needed upgrades. Harrington donated three electric chain hoists and Florida Handling Systems donated engineering and installation costs plus provided the aquarium with a three-year maintenance contract.
