Powerstar Electric Chain Hoist

Electric Chain Hoists

The CM Powerstar electric chain hoist presents a space-saving alternative to wire rope hoists for high-speed lifting. This heavy-duty hoist is built to maintain its strength and power year after year. Designed for applications previously the domain of wire rope hoists. Ideal for operating in extreme locations, such as blast furnaces, steelworks and coke plants .

Features & Benefits

FEATURES and BENEFITS:

  • H-4 or better rated duty cycle.
  • Designed for heavy-duty industrial applications.
  • Liftwheel has machined chain pockets and is heat treated alloy steel for maximum strength and wear resistance.
  • Efficient regenerative braking system avoids heat generation in power train.
