Lift 500-pound loads safely

A servo-driven lift hoist allows operators to safely lift and place loads weighing up to 500 pounds. The touch-sensitive handle senses the speed of the operator's hand movement and adjusts automatically to provide the right amount of mechanical power. Built-in safety systems also lock loads in place during interruptions in power supply. The lift hoist is available with a standard lift hook and can be easily added to overhead hoist systems.

Hoists to 2 tons

Small- and medium-frame hoists are available in 1-, 1½- and 2-ton capacities. Five hook styles accommodate various applications. The standard latching hook is designed to open under overload. The gate type hook latch revolves under spring tension in open and closed positions. Hooks with jaws, screw pins and hot stick rings are available. Other features include overload warning link signals, a double interlocking pawl mechanism to prevent load drop and oiled-for-life bearings for smooth operation.

The Profi series of hoists is enhanced with an optimized, low-maintenance chain drive and air motor using a reduced number of components. Profi hoists provide carrying capacities of 3.2 tons and 6.3 tons as well as 10 and 16 tons. For quieter, safer operation, the noise level is reduced by 8 decibels. An emergency valve in the main air supply also allows users to shut off the system.

Heavy-duty travel

The MPW Built-Up hoist has a load capacity ranging from 5 to 185 tons and lifting power ranging from 25 to 224 horsepower. They can be equipped with two-speed or infinitely variable speed operation, as well as with a DC brake or double-shoe brake. The wheel and motor design of the trolley makes the hoist suitable for heavy-duty travel applications. A rope drum provides minimum end-approach dimensions by reducing the drum length not required for the hook travel.
