Air Hoists

Quick Ref: CN-7
Browse our premium selection of pneumatic air hoists, sourced from reputable manufacturers. Experience quality and reliability with our extensive offerings.

Air hoists which are also known as pneumatic hoists and also referred to as compressed air hoists are similar in features to electric chain hoists except the hoist is powered by a compressed air supply. A main advantage of an air hoist is that they have a 100% duty cycle meaning they are suitable for constant use and for long lift heights where an electric motor would overheat.

Air hoists are usually supplied hook-suspended but can also be supplied with an integrated beam trolley. They are operated by push button pendant control or by cord control.

An air hoist is often a more cost-effective solution when ATEX certification is needed because they are far cheaper than the equivalent electric hoist and is more suited to applications in harsh environments which is why it is the hoist of preference in the off-shore oil and gas production, the petro-chemical industry and maintenance sectors.

As with other lifting chain hoists the pneumatic air hoists supplied by us are all from top-quality manufacturers; these include Red Rooster, Yale, Tiger, Hadef, JDN (JD Neuhaus) and Ingersoll Rand.

Air Hoist Accessories

To keep your air hoist running smoothly, in most cases (some lubrication-free hoists are on offer) you will need a FRL (filter, regulator, lubricator) between your air hoist and its air supply. FRL's are not included as standard and neither are air hoses, but they can be supplied if required.

It is also possible to supply some of our air hoists with more specialist hose connectors if required.

Mechanical airflow restrictors can be supplied with some models that effectively reduce the air flow into the hoist, causing a reduction in the lifting speed. This can be particularly handy on lower-capacity hoists where the lifting speeds are far greater.

Please get in touch if your looking for a more specialist air hoist, or any non-standard options or accessories.
