Tiger "TAHS" Pneumatic Chain Hoists, Range 0.25 tonne to 2.0 tonne
Reliable, fast, efficient, quiet and lightweight air hoist, suitable for fleeting / oblique pulling.
TAHS / TPCH-5081




Tiger air hoists are designed specifically for industrial and general engineering applications such as automotive plants, foundries, heat treatment plants, zinc refineries and acid battery manufacturing facilities. The hoists operate at air pressures of between 4 and 6 bar. They comply with the requirements of ASME B30.16 and EN14492-2. The manufacturing facility producing the hoists is ISO9001, ISO14001 & OHSAS18001 certified.
- Reliable, fast, efficient, quiet and lightweight
- Greater than 5:1 factor of safety
- Suitable for Fleeting/Oblique pulling
Load Limiter
Integral differential pressure load limiting valve automatically prevents the operator lifting a load of more than125% of the working load limit. Load limiter is 100% repeatable at all working pressures and does not wear or generate damaging heat.
Pendant Control
Pendant control options are supplied with aluminium anodised controls as standard. Nickel plated SG iron options and twist grip pendants are available as option.
Emergency Stop
Pendant control hoists are supplied with a mains emergency stop valve. This shuts off the main air supply to the hoist when activated.
Precise Control
Accurate and precise positioning of loads is standard for both toggle and pendent control models.
Fail Safe Disc Brake
Non-asbestos self-adjusting disc brake is applied automatically when the air supply to the hoist is shut off. The brake is self-adjusting for the life of the brake and can hold more than125% of the working load limit.
Fleeting or Oblique pulling
This type of application is when the load deviates from the vertical position with a force acting directly between load hook and suspension point.
Integral Silencer
The exhaust air silencer is built into the hoist gearbox housing and limits the noise level to below85dB(A).
Load Chain
Grade 8 load chain ensures stringent high-speed duty cycles can be met. The load chain is in accordance with the requirements of EN818-7 Appendix B.
Vane Motor
Assisted vane lifting ensures maximum starting torque when starting under load.
Sealed Gearbox
The sealed planetary gearbox ensures that the most stringent duty cycles can be met. The gears are heat treated and mounted on high strength, low friction bearings.
Ease of Maintenance
The modular design of the hoist allows easy access to internal components such as the motor, gearbox, brake and load limiter. Common parts are used throughout the range.
