Air hoist lifts 125t

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.
