Specialising in problem-solving hoists
18 June 2018
As UK agent for GIS AG, a Swiss based Chain Hoist & crane manufacturer, LTM offers a range of special GIS hoists for applications where standard hoists cannot be supplied. These include hoists for use with synchronised travel and in low headroom, explosion controlled or corrosion resistant environments.

For example, the GIS Synchron is suitable for transporting long bulky loads. The appropriate synchronous lifting of the hoist and the accurate levelling of the two load hooks assure precise positioning of the load without undesirable rotation.
Two GPS electric chain hoists are supplied and connected electrically and mechanically. There are two options, a basic hoist with a minimum of 700 to 2999mm between hooks, or basic hoist with a minimum of 3000 to 5000mm between hooks. Maximum load capacity is 2 x 1250kg. These hoists are suitable for the automobile and printing industries, among others.
Hoists can be combined with a GISKB suspended crane or travelling crane – all are available from LTM. Hoists can be supplied with trolleys for horizontal travel, frequency inverters for variable speed and customised devices for load handling.
