Fully synchronised movement of lifting hooks

Monorail units from J D Neuhaus feature twin hoists operated via a common drive shaft, which ensures fully synchronised raise and lowering of both lifting hooks.

Monorail units from J D Neuhaus feature twin hoists operated via a common drive shaft, which ensures fully synchronised raise and lowering of both lifting hooks.

Operation is from a single pendant control with lever mechanism which enables the accurate positioning and placement of loads to be successfully carried out.

These synchronised hoists are commonly used in the printing and paper industries or other roll handling applications, and are particularly suited to the repetitive two point lifting and positioning of longer loads, where conventional slinging from a single lifting hook would not provide the necessary repeatable accuracy of location.

They can also be used for lifting and turning of loads when a load hook is attached to each end of the chain fall at each lifting position.

Options of motor or manual trolleys are also available for travelling along a monorail beam.

Lifting capacities of up to 20 tonne can be accommodated, with the dimension between hook centres being variable, as determined by the load requirements.

The hoists are also pneumatically powered, making them suitable for use in hazardous areas (Zone 1 or 2), wherever there is potential for explosion hazards which includes dust or solvent laden atmospheres.
