Hand and Lever Hoists
A lever- or hand-operated hoist is used to pull, lift, drag or stretch loads. They feature a one-hand operating and control mechanism designed for a single worker. These are compact, economical units used when efficiency of manpower is not a major concern. Both hoists are for general duty lifting applications in powerhouses, industry, warehousing, machine shops and foundries. The hoists come in regular and right angle gearing, the latter providing smoother chain travel and reduced maintenance. They can be easily disassembled for routine inspection and maintenance.

Electric Hoists
Electric hoists are designed for medium to heavy duty industrial applications. The standard electric hoist has a single motor rated at 15 minutes of continuous use. An optional two-speed motor is available with a 30 minute rating. These are short stroke motors, permitting accurate load spotting and control by switching off the power.

Air Balance Hoist
An air balance has a floating capacity that allows quick movement and razor thin positioning with light payloads within a 23 centimeter span. Unlike hand and electric hoists that have fixed stop positions without a float, the air balance system permits precise and infinitely variable speed control for accurate load spotting. The air balance is a clean, cost effective, trouble-free option for handling material. Coupled with a workstation crane, an air balancer offers an ergonomic solution to difficult or hazardous manual positioning of materials.
