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.

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.
