William Hackett Standard Headroom Air Hoist
The William Hackett WH-AH Air Hoist range is engineered to EN 14492-2 standards for dependable lifting in the most demanding environments. It delivers a true 100% duty cycle, with a sealed, grease-filled epicyclic gearbox that provides long, low-maintenance service life.
The hoist offers variable speed control via pull cord, pilot pendant (with E-Stop), or direct pendant. An automatic multi-disc brake and an overload limiter set to 130% WLL enhance safety and performance.
Robust SG iron housings, internal silencing, galvanised Grade 80 load chain, and high-grade alloy steel hooks with safety latches ensure exceptional strength and durability. Spark-resistant construction (ATEX Zone 2) is standard, with Zone 1 configurations available on request.
Available options include stainless steel hooks and chain, chain containers, and combination trolley-hoist assemblies.
