The hand chain hoist series VLR with integrated manual trolley drive features extremely low headroom capabilities and provides optimal usage of the available storage space in confined areas.
Hand wheel and gear case are positioned outside the reach of the bottom flange, thus allowing the bottom block to be raised almost until the underside of the beam.
The swivel truck feature of the trolley suspension enables travelling on extremely short radius curves.
VLR Hoist Variants
- VLRP with plain trolley drive (manual push/pull traverse of the beam trolley) - Capacities 250kg to 6000kg
- VLRG with geared trolley drive (directional pull of an additional trolley hand chain controls movement along the beam) - Capacities 250kg to 6000kg
Workmanship and features
- All-steel construction with zinc-plated load and hand chains.
- The integrated swivel truck trolley suspension permits application to be used on runways with extremely narrow radii.
- All units are built to order for a predetermined beam dimension. They cannot be adjusted retroactively to other beam sizes.
- Anti-drop devices and anti-tilt devices are standard features.
- The rotating hand chain guide allows side-pull of the trolley hand chain in travel direction.
Optional equipment
- Rubber buffers available on request
- Chain containers
- Overload prevention device

LiftingSafety Review:
The Yale VLRP (push) and VLRG (Geared) hoist is a bespoke premium hand chain hoist with a trolley that 'Swivels', is is a made to order hoist marketed for extra heavy duty use. The articulating trolley is designed to go round radius bends on lifting runway beams. As you would expect this hoist is at the top end of the price range though remains good value for money compared with 'true' alternatives!
