Variable Speed Chain Hoist | Die Setter Electric Hoist

Set Dies and Molds Precisely with Ultra Low Speed Hoist Positioning

die-setter

Specifically designed to improve mold placement accuracy, the two-speed die setter low speed electric hoist features ultra low speed hook movement for exact die positioning as well as the standard speed for normal use. To reduce die impact damage and shock loading conditions, the low speed setting may be set to 1.5 feet per minute without sacrificing the normal lift speed of the electric hoist.

The variable speed hoist feature permits fine mold positioning without continuous hoist jogging. Low speed hook travel on David Round's die setter electric hoist is available in both the up and down directions unlike other creep or step-controlled hoists that may only lower at the low speed setting.

With these electric hoist products, both the standard and low speed settings may be adjusted in the field to meet specific application requirements. A variety of pendant configurations are available as well as low-speed trolleys, jib cranes and monorail systems.

These speeds are the preset factory speeds and are the fastest and slowest speeds available for the specific electric hoist capacity and level of use. However the low speed setting may be increased and the high speed setting may be decreased in the field to meet specific application requirements.
