These hoists can be put into service fast thanks to plug connections and your employees will love the ergonomic handling.

These hoists use a high-quality powder-coated surface 
for improved protection and longer service life. With a 24v contactor control, slipping clutch with automatic cut-out by means of speed monitoring, and an IP 55 enclosure for chain hoist and trolley, these hoists are built for safety and reliability.

Versatility is built-in with two hoist speeds and an interface for electric travel. There is also an optional operating limit switches up to 1,000 kg.

Safety

• Low-voltage control pendant thanks to 24 V contactor control system
• Safety-related functions satisfy at least Performance Level c and Category 2 to EN ISO 13849-1

Minimum load sway

• Smooth cross-travel starting and braking motions for low-sway load handling
• Speeds and acceleration/braking rates can be modified by means of the control pendant, if required

Long service life

• Generously specified gearbox. 2m+ (1,900 hours) for main load capacities and up to 4m (6,300 hours) for demanding applications
• All sub-assemblies of the chain hoist are rated for a long service life, even under the most demanding conditions

Temperature range

• Reliable operation from -20 °C to +45 °C without any reduction in the duty factor
• Operation also possible up to 60 °C and more

Ergonomics

• Length of control cable or position of control pendant can be adjusted without the need for any wiring
• Length of control cable that is not needed can be stored under the service cover

High-performance motor

• Hoist motor has large safety reserves to provide for reliable operation for many years
• Can be used for switching cycles way beyond usual market levels

Pro-Hub function

• Up to 90% higher rated lifting speed in reduced load range

Easy to service

• Gearbox & slipping clutch maintenance-free for up to 10 years
• Brake maintenance-free for up to 10 years (up to 5 years for DC 10–25)
• Simple and rapid maintenance and repair of individual components thanks to the modular chain hoist design – cuts any downtime to a minimum

Variable speeds

• Valuable and sensitive parts can be moved and positioned more smoothly and reliably
• Variable button characteristic like a car accelerator pedal

Status display

• Display for elapsed operating time counter and operating statuses
• Always up-to-date for service purposes

Slipping clutch monitoring

• Harmful continuous slipping eliminated thanks to speed monitoring
• Reliable protection against extreme overload
• Load securely held in any operating situation and cannot drop while hoist is at standstill, since brake is arranged in front of the slipping clutch in load-bearing arrangement

Low noise level

• Reduced operating noise thanks to helical gearing in all gearbox stages
• Smooth running characteristics thanks to high-quality gearing
