Yale "CPA" Compressed Air Hoist with Pendant Control - Range from 125kg to 10,000kg
Yale Low Maintenance Pneumatic Air Chain Hoist with 100% Duty Cycle. Optional Air Powered Trolley and Lubricator not included as standard.
Yale CPA / YPAH-245






CPA Pneumatic chain hoists have motors with integrated brake function that are designed for continuous operation with an unlimited number of work and duty cycles. allows an easy transport.To ensure faultless operation the compressed air supply must be filtered and oiled!
Pneumatic chain hoists are characterized by high durability in a great number of industrial applications. The robust but light weight housing
Suitable for: Automobile and aircraft industries, shipyards, on ships and docks. Foundries, on-/offshore, paint factories and paint shops, refineries, oil depots, galvanizing. Printing, textile and food industries, pulp, paper and cement mills. Glass and ceramic industries, wood working industries, chemical industries, heat treatment and power plants etc.
The CPA 125kg to 990kg
- Rotating piston motor with 100 % duty rating and an unlimited number of starts for continuous operation.
- Single fall load chain, 3 metre lift height and Pendant control supplied as standard.
- Extremely sensitive direct control with emergency stop, for precise positioning of the load.
- Working pressures 5 - 7 bar.
- Integrated limit switches for highest and lowest hook position as standard.
- Self-adjusting automatic disc brake.
- Air release for brake as standard for models CPA 2-31, CPA 5-17 and CPA 10-9.
- These units excel through their extremely quiet operation and robust aluminium housing.
- Low and easy maintenance due to reduced number of components.
- On account of its compact, lightweight design and low headroom the 125 - 990kg units are very handy and easy to carry.
- Maximum control drop is 6 metres (maximum pendant length).
- Speeds will be reduced in case of a longer control length.
- CPA 1-13, CPA2-10 & CPA 5-5 Max. hose length: 12m.
- CPA 2-31, CPA5-17 & CPA 10-9 Max. hose length: 20m.
- Optional: Pressure regulator, manometer, lubricator and support and chain collector bag - Available on request.
The CPA 'Heavy Duty' 2000kg to 10,000kg
- With 100% duty rating and an unlimited number of starts, the CPA 2000 - 10,000kgs models are suitable for heavy duty applications.
- 3 metre lift height and Pendant control supplied as standard.
- Sensitive control by means of 2 resp. 4 button pendant control with emergency-stop.
- Working pressures 4 - 6 bar.
- It is not susceptible to contamination, humidity or aggressive ingress of contaminates.
- The hoists are composed of three main components which makes servicing easy and inexpensive.
- Robust rotating piston motor has an adjustable spring pressure brake that holds the load secure even in the event of an air failure.
- The standard, oil bath lubricated planetary gearbox is particularly smooth running and enables a low overall height.
- High starting torque due to switching valves in the motor body.
- Low noise emission due to large dimension silencer.
- Up to 3000kg only one chain fall, leading to a low overall height.
- The 5-pocket load chain sheave, manufactured from wear resistant case hardening steel, is matched perfectly to the load chain to guarantee smooth and precise chain motion.
- Drop forged suspension and load hooks are made from non-aging, high tensile steel and fitted with robust safety latches.
- The standard case hardened and zinc-plated link chain is matched perfectly to the load chain to guarantee smooth and precise chain motion.
- All requirements of national and international standards and regulations are fulfilled.
- Optional: Pull cord control, Stainless steel load chain, and Chain container - Available on request.
