Redesigned hoist
The CXT hoist in capacities up to 80 tons has redesigned components to increase safety and reliability. An increased drum diameter with the hoisting motor placed inside enables a shorter hoist length. The larger rope drum reduces bending forces, improving rope life. It also minimizes horizontal hook travel during lowering, which allows fast, accurate load positioning.
