Low Headroom Hoist | Lo-hed
High performance H-4 duty low head hoist delivers exceptional reliability in even the most demanding applications.
Maximize overhead clearance
The low head hoist design minimizes beam-to-hook distance
- Create additional workspace over assembly bays to accommodate taller equipment designs.
- Reduce bridge crane profiles for restricted height applications in existing buildings.
- Minimize jib crane heights for added clearance under bridge cranes and mezzanines.
- Reduce new construction costs by lowering ceiling heights without sacrificing workspace
Position loads precisely and reliably for years
A low headroom hoist can protect loads and production machinery from unnecessary contact and damage
- True vertical lift operation.
- Carefully lower sensitive loads with two speed flexibility or with programmable inverter controls.
- Increase stopping accuracy and holding force with the standard motor brake and self-adjusting mechanical brake.
- Program upper and lower hook stops with an adjustable rotary limit switch.
Increase overhead security
Top-quality components and design features provide operator peace-of-mind.
- Specified by the military because all critical welds are magnetic particle inspected.
- Relied on by leading Steel producers because the independent mechanical and motor brakes provide backup security in hot melt, rolling and forming applications.
- Trusted to perform critical lifts in production environments because the oversized gear train is continually lubricated in a sealed oil bath.
