Wind Turbine Lifting Equipment, Wire Rope Hoists & Chain Hoists

Available as 200kg or 300kg SWL with a massive lifting height of up to 120 metres with a choice of lifting speeds, either fixed at 23 metre per minute or adjustable up to 45 metres per minute. Single phase 110v, 220v or 3 phase. This wind turbine hoist is CE Certified and conforms with EEC Machine Directive 89/392 and subsequent amendments.

This item is designed specifically for use in wind turbines where items, components and tools need to be raised to the top of the column to allow maintenance. It has a fast lifting speed and is excellent quality by Yale.

Electro- dynamic braking eliminates heat generated by typical designs. Precision machined and hardened liftwheel: exact fit of chain in liftwheel provides smoother operation and reduces chain vibration, superior gear protection, lifetime lubricated.

Options on Wind Turbine Chain Hoist: Safe working load, voltage, Ph / Hz, suspension type, height of lift required (metres)

Better control on long lifts: Smooth, slow speed starts and stops, fast speed for load transition. Variable frequency drive (VFD) option is also available on the Lodestar. Precision machined and hardened liftwheel: Exact fit of chain in liftwheel provides smoother operation and reduces chain vibration.

Options on 250kg Turbine Chain Hoist: Safe working load, voltage, suspension type, height of lift required (metres)

Suspension: Hook or trolley

DC electro-magnetic disk motor operated brake designed to last as long as the hoist itself. This winch is designed to be heavy-duty to provide very long durability and low maintenance to its owner. Extremely quiet running. Noise level: 65 decibels

Options on 250kg, 80m HOL, 25mpm: Model, trolley required, height of lift (up to 80metres)

Options on Wind Turbine Chain Hoist: Safe working load, trolley required, height of lift is 16 to 80 metres.

Wide range of lifting speeds:16 and 4 m/min, 24 & 6 m/min and 32 & 8 m/min, upper and lower electric limit switches

Brake clutch system: DC electromagnetic disk brake made to last as long as the hoist itself.

Hook: Upper hook (detachable) and lower hook complies with DIN standard, Motor: Thermal protection

Supplied with a Manual and Electric wire rope hoist.  The manual hoist acts as a back-up though is also commonly used to raise (and lower) the electric winch from the sea going vessel.

Hoist mounting: The Electric hoist is mounted on to a foot plate fabricated to the Davit socket; the winch wire is then deflected over a pulley wheel.
This is for ease of installation and to avoid unnecessary manual handling that would otherwise be required raising the winch.
Quick release mountings are combined into the design.

Improved design features a multiple-planetary drive/backstop-clutch assembled on the centre shaft of a steel gear case with full-length internal teeth. This design handles more rugged jobs, extends service life and reduces maintenance. Lightweight yet powerful, these portable hoists move many heavyweight tasks and can get into remote or difficult-access sites.

Available either 454kg (1000lbs) or 1361kg (3000lbs).
