Chain hoists improve efficiency
The Kito ER series of electric chain hoists is designed to improve handling efficiency in a wide range of general industrial, engineering and otherwise demanding work environments.
Hoists are safe for hazardous areas
Hydraulically operated air hoists are designed for safe operation within hazardous areas.
It features a 55cm head clearance between the fully raised load hook and the hoist body.
This eliminates the potential of damaging or even dangerous collisions between the load and overhead chain box of the hoist.
Although designed for big-bag handling, the unit can be used for any appropriate loads, and is particularly suited for use in dusty atmospheres.
Because the hoist is powered by compressed air, it is suitable for use in hazardous areas (Zone 1 or 2), which includes food, fertiliser and paper production, cement manufacture and many other engineering applications where explosive dusts or solvent laden atmospheres can occur.
Additional safety features incorporated into the design include galvanised lifting chain with copper coated hook and sprocket etc, together with bronze wheels and drive gears.
Special paint finishes and brass components used where contact occurs, together with anti-static controls are also available for operating safety in dangerous conditions.
A three metre lift is available as standard, operating from a six bar air supply with a consumption of 1.4 m3/min for full load lifting.
Pendant control is provided as standard and hoists have lubrication-free operation with minimum maintenance requirements.
Top and bottom limit switches are incorporated with integral motor braking.
Excess chain is retained in the overhead chain box to maintain a clear and unencumbered working area.
