  • Low maintenance hoists
  • Heavy duty hoist applications
  • Simple hoist design
  • Many options
  • Single or two speed hoist operation
  • Manual or motorized hoist trolleys
  • Radio, Infrared or pendant hoist control
Wire Rope Hoists

 

Most cost affective hoist at 3 ton and above capacities
Wire Rope Hoists

  • High reliability hoists
  • Low maintenance hoists
  • Heavy duty hoist applications
  • Low headroom hoist requirements
  • Long lift distances
  • Quite operation
  • Variable frequency drives available for infinite speed control
  • Radio, Infrared or pendant control

 

Cranes

 

Types of Cranes

 
Types of Cranes

  • Bridge cranes for large area coverage
  • Gantry cranes for limited height, area or outdoor yard type requirements
  • Jib cranes for limited circular area coverage
  • Monorails cranes for dedicated in line travel locations

 

Bridge Crane Styles
  • Underhung cranes for lower capacities, can be hung from building structure for reduced floor supports
  • Top riding cranes for larger capacities and greater head room
  • Double girder cranes for torsional stability and head room clearance
Speeds

 
Speeds

  • Manual hoist and crane horizontal motion for light weights and short distance motion
  • Power hoist and crane horizontal motion for heavy weights, long distance and accurate positioning
  • Slow hoist and crane speeds for positioning in delicate operations such as assembly or machine shops
  • High speed hoist and cranes for long travel distance or products such as bulk handling
  • Multi speed and variable speed crane and hoist controls available
Specials

 

Specials

 

  • Explosion proof hoists and cranes for hazardous areas
  • Clean room hoist and crane applications
  • Food grade hoist and crane applications
  • Flying pendant crane and hoist controls for large or hazardous loads
  • Tandem and auxiliary hoists for large item lifting
  • Rotators and other below the hook crane and hoist options

 

Electrification

 

Electrification

 

  • Festooning for short runs or low cost operations
  • Power Bar for long runs or high use application
