Pneumatic Air Hoist 2 Tonne (Explosion Proof, Dual Chain)

Product detail

Air-powered chain hoist rated at 2 tonnes for lifting and shifting loads where an electric hoist cannot be used. There are no electrical parts in the drive, so it produces no spark and no static, which suits hazardous areas and atmospheres carrying dust or solvent vapour. If the air line is cut the load holds where it is instead of running down, and a self-locking mechanism stops the chain over-speeding on the way down. Running on 0.5 MPa shop air, the motor lifts at 1.4 m per minute and lowers at 1.5 m per minute with the speed adjustable, and the unit is small and light beside an electric hoist of the same capacity. Two falls of chain carry the 2 tonne load. For mine workshops, plant maintenance and fabrication bays, supplied with a one-year warranty on the unit. Crews handling heavy components in a wash bay or tank farm can avoid running power leads to the lifting point, and the chain and hook wear parts are straightforward to replace during routine servicing, which helps a shutdown schedule stay on track. Rental yards can keep a spare hoist for sites where no electrical supply reaches the lifting point, so a short job needs no generator. Foundries and paint plants lift with an air hoist because there is no electrical spark at the hook; the twin chain shares the load and keeps the hook level, which is what a lifting inspector wants to see on a rated unit.
