2. Pneumatic Chain Hoists
- Wide range of Yale & JDN Air Hoists
- Our range of pneumatic chain hoists offer many advantages over our electric chain hoists in certain environments; depending on the lifting application.
- They are supplied complete with filter, regulator and lubrication.
- pneumatic chain hoists are suitable for use in hazardous environments, for example in offshore oil and gas industries, and the petro-chemical industry.
- Air hoists have a longer duty cycle than electric chain hoists, because there is no electric motor to over heat. If you need a powered hoist to run continuously, and / or require a large height of lift (HOL), then an air hoist could be the best option.
- pneumatic powered units can be easily modified to be suited for marine environments.
- We offer this type of hoist complete with pneumatic, push, geared, or electric travel trolley, depending on the specification the user requires. These can be seperate to the hoist, or supplied as an integrated trolley hoist unit, to suit low or very low headroom environments.
- Our smaller pneumatic units with capacities of 125kg or 250kg, are lightweight and portable, making a pneumatic hoist the ideal solution where a hoist needs to be moved regularly.
- We offer our pnuematic units c/w pendant or cord control if required by the end user.
