Coil handing cranes feature remote control
Leading aluminium foil producer Lawson Mardon Star has installed two advanced coil handing cranes, with a value of GBP 250,000, from Street Crane Company.
CX hoists with eye suspension units are configured for fixed position workstations.
The addition of CX trolley units makes them suited to powered or push travel in conjunction with EOT cranes, jib cranes or monorails.
All CX models have neat and streamlined cases to IP55 making them ideal for use indoors or outdoors in engineering, construction, logistics and other applications.
Safety features include fail-safe DC disc brakes, asbestos free linings, foolproof plug-in electrical connections and overload protection.
Precision manufacture of components such as the chain guide and hardened and ground involute helical gears, in a gear assembly permanently immersed in oil, promote maintenance-free long life.
Brakes, for example, are designed for one million full load cycles before the need for the first adjustment.
Productivity is promoted by dual speed 2/8 pole motors, precision calibrated high strength chains and durable brake/clutch linings.
The CX series hoists are modular in concept.
Where components do require replacement, or the hoist needs upgrading, new components are easy to install so the hoist is quickly returned to service.
Customisation to site conditions is also possible.
Motors are available for 50Hz or 60Hz operation in a range of voltages.
Chain lengths are variable to suit the application and users have the option of fixed position or variable hoist limit switches.
Hoists are the workhorses of many engineering, construction and logistics operations.
Street's CX series hoist is part of an ongoing programme to offer series produced hoists to meet every need in the 0.25 tonnes to 100 tonne range.
All hoists are of advanced design and modular in construction to ensure high efficiency, reliability and the flexibility to meet individual client needs.
The programme will make Street a strong challenger in all market sectors.
