Focus on hoists

Hoist features 360-degree rotation
The Hurricane hand chain hoist features a handwheel
cover that rotates 360-degrees to enable hoist operation in any direction.
Lifting capacities range from ½ to 3 tons. Its frame and housings are made from
impact-resistant, stamped steel for increased durability. The Hurricane's single
disc brake eliminates many components common on hand chain hoists, such as a
ratchet or pawl springs, so minimal maintenance is required.

Three-ton capacity hoist
Part of the New Century series of electric chain hoists
is the Speedway model with a one- to three-ton lifting capacity. It is available
with single- or dual-speed control. Featuring a multiple disc brake, the
Speedway holds a full capacity load independent of the motor brake and assures
that the load does not accelerate while being lowered. The various suspension
styles possible are lug mounted, push trolley, hand-geared trolley and motorized
trolley.

Lift up to two tons
The Redi-Lift 360 series of electric chain hoists lifts
loads weighing between 1/8 and 2 tons. Hoisting lift speeds are 8, 16 and 32
feet per minute at standard lift ranges of 10 and 15 feet. Many mounting options
are possible including hook, plain and motor geared trolleys. The hoists'
two-speed motors have a 4:1 ratio.

Chain hoist lifts 4,400 pounds
Lifting from 275 to 4,400 pounds, an electric chain
hoist features precise positioning with a two-speed motor. Its single fall chain
reeving extends chain life. Standard features include overload protection, upper
and lower limit switches, built-in brake monitoring and an elapsed on-time
counter providing maintenance information.

Pivoting hoist
Lifting up to five tons, the Quantum series electric chain hoist features
eyebolt suspension, allowing the hoist to pivot and align itself with the
direction of load pull. This suspension is standard with motorized and plain
trolleys. A floating chain guide precisely feeds chain onto a five-pocket chain
wheel that eliminates jams to ensure smooth operation. Dual speed motors offer
4:1, 5:1 and 6:1 high-to-low speed ratios for improved load control and reduced
cycle time. The electrical control pendant has operating buttons marked with
high contrast arrows and horizontally aligned for easier operation.
