WIDE RANGE OF CAPACITIES AND LIFTS
Monorail units up to 30 tons and top-running, double-girder units up to 55 tons. Standard lifts up to 131 ft. Metric rated models also available.
EXTENSIVE SAFETY FEATURES
Standard safety features include paddle limit switch, adjustable geared limit switch, motor temperature control, and overload protection.
FLEXIBLE CONFIGURATIONS
Hoists can be configured to your unique application needs. Available in 5 frame sizes with 16 load capacity variants.
SMOOTH OPERATION
With an integrated motor management module and flywheel trolley motors, the SK features extremely smooth starting and braking with starts and stops for extended brake life.
COMPACT DESIGN
Exceptionally short approach allows for optimal use of work area when space is limited. Paddle limit switch allows for lowest headroom possible while maintaining safe operation. Low-headroom monorail units are extremely compact due to U-shape design.
RELIABLE PERFORMANCE IN HEAVY-DUTY APPLICATIONS
Hoists available with H3, H4, and H4+ duty cycles.
LOW MAINTENANCE
High-quality components designed for safety and longevity, providing you with minimal downtime and a low total cost of ownership. Local availability of common spare parts means that your products can be serviced quickly, helping to reduce downtime.
COMPLIANCE WITH INDUSTRY STANDARDS
Hoists meet CMAA and HMI standards. CSA labeled. Explosion-protected models available in compliance with NEC guidelines.
BASE-MOUNT
Can be used as stationary hoisting or towing equipment, for example in systems manufacturing. The rope lead-off angle, the hoist mounting, and the mounting position of the hoist motor can be adjusted as needed. Available for 1-55 ton capacities.
TOP-RUNNING, DOUBLE-GIRDER
Extremely compact with minimal hook approach and headroom dimensions. Flexible design ensures all four wheels are in contact with the girder. Available for 1-55 ton capacities.
Control Options
2-SPEED CONTROL
2-speed models come standard with 6:1 turndown, and the control panel is mounted to the gearbox.
STANDARD VFD
Standard VFD hoist and flux vector hoist configurations come standard with controls housed in a separate NEMA-rated enclosure mounted to underhung hoists. The enclosure is shipped loose for the greatest flexibility in top-running double girder and base-mount configurations. Standard VFD hoists are also equipped with an encoder mounted to the gearbox for direction and overspeed detection, improving the safe operation of your wire rope hoist.
ADVANCED VFD
Advanced VFD configurations offer the greatest positional accuracy. Using variable speed control, micro-positioning capabilities enable precision load control while decreasing load bounce and swing. In addition, the 10:1 speed control gives operators the ability to “float” the load with full torque at 0 rpm.
