Hoists are safe for hazardous areas
Hydraulically operated air hoists are designed for safe operation within hazardous areas.
Hydraulically operated versions from the mid-range of Profi Ti air hoists can now be supplied by JD Neuhaus These are designed for safe operation within hazardous areas, and can be used as a viable alternative to air-operated hoists where hydraulic lines, centralised hydraulic systems or hydraulic power packs are already in existence

Ultra-low headroom on chain hoists
A range of monorail mounted chain hoists from J D Neuhaus minimise the 'dead space' between the underside of the monorail track and the load point of the carrying hook
Crane drives suit more varied applications
The air or hydraulic powered geared travel units from J D Neuhaus were designed for use with crane bridges and hoists, but have been used for driving wheeled bogeys running on floor mounted rails.
Five hoists are currently available in the range, with lift capacities ranging from 3 to 20 tonnes.
These are suitable for a wide range of engineering applications where there are potentially explosive atmospheres, or where dust, humidity or elevated temperature conditions occur.
The units operate with an intake pressure of 130bar, using mineral oils or fire resistant (HFC) fluids.
Other operating pressures and fluids can also be accommodated if required.
Due to the modular constriction of the Profi Ti range, the robust hydraulic gear motor capsule can be easily interchanged with an existing air operated motor unit.
This offers super-silent running, and is provided with sensitive, infinitely variable control of both lifting and lowering speeds.
An integrated overload cutout switch is also provided, together with a controlled load-lowering facility in the event of a power supply loss.
Only two supply connections are required for the hoist and any oil leakage is drained internally.
The standard advantages of the technically advanced Profi range are maintained, including a low-headroom design enabling operation within confined areas.
Unlimited switching operations at continuous working guarantees 100% duty rating, while ease of operation and minimum maintenance ensures less downtime.
An Ex classification is provided as standard for explosion-proof operation, while optional increased spark protection can also be made available for higher explosion group ratings.
