Air hoist lifts 125t
November 1st 2011 An air-operated hoist with a lift
capacity of 125t has been
manufactured by J D Neuhaus and
is the most powerful unit in the
company's EH range of handling
equipment.
Designated as an EH 125
monorail hoist, the unit operates
from a 6 bar air pressure and is
equipped with 10 and 2.8kW rated
motors for the lifting and traverse
functions respectively. In standard
format, the hoist is supplied with a
six double-chain mechanism
providing a 3m lift at speeds of
0.30m/min within a full load, and
0.38m/min on lowering.
Horizontal travel speeds of
6m/min are achieved with
maximum load and 8m/min when
unloaded. A 2m length flexible
connection is supplied with an
ergonomic multi-function pendant
controller for precise, infinitely
variable control of the lift/lowering
and traverse operations for safe,
accurate load placements. The hoist
is designed for use in heavy
industries such as steelworks,
cement, chemical, power generation
and shipbuilding plants as well as
the oil and gas markets. More articles from J.D.Neuhaus Limited: |
