AIR HOIST
Air Hoists
Air hoists, also known as pneumatic hoists, are durable and reliable lifting solutions powered by compressed air. Ideal for environments where electric power is not preferred or hazardous, air hoists offer smooth, spark-resistant operation with precise control—making them the preferred choice in demanding industrial applications.
Key Features & Benefits:
• Pneumatic Power: Designed for facilities with available compressed air systems, air hoists provide consistent lifting performance without the risk of electrical sparks, making them ideal for explosive or flammable environments.
• High Load Capacities: Available in models that handle loads from 250 lbs to 100+ tons, air hoists are suited for everything from light-duty tool handling to heavy industrial lifting.
• Variable Speed Control: Many models feature pendant or pull cord controls for precise variable-speed lifting and lowering, allowing for safer handling of sensitive or awkward loads.
• Continuous Duty Operation: Air hoists are built to run 24/7 without overheating, making them ideal for high-cycle production lines, mining, oil & gas, and other rigorous operations.
• Durable Construction: Engineered with corrosion-resistant materials, enclosed gears, and sealed components, these hoists stand up to harsh conditions like dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
• Safety Features: Integrated with fail-safe brakes, overload protection, and explosion-proof components, ensuring maximum safety for operators and equipment.
Common Applications:
Air hoists are used in automotive plants, shipyards, refineries, steel mills, offshore drilling platforms, and heavy manufacturing, where reliable and spark-resistant lifting is critical.
For powerful, efficient, and low-maintenance lifting in challenging environments, air hoists deliver unmatched performance, safety, and durability.
Air Hoists
Air hoists—also known as pneumatic hoists—are industrial-grade lifting devices powered by compressed air. Designed for environments where electric hoists are unsuitable, air hoists offer superior performance in hazardous, high-cycle, and continuous-duty operations. They are commonly used in shipyards, oil & gas refineries, manufacturing plants, and assembly lines where durability, safety, and efficiency are essential.
Key Features & Advantages:
• Load Capacities: Air hoists are available in a wide range of capacities, typically from ¼ ton (500 lbs) up to 100 tons, making them suitable for both light-duty and heavy-duty applications.
• 100% Duty Cycle: Built for continuous operation without overheating, air hoists are ideal for high-frequency lifting in demanding work environments.
• High Lifting Speeds: Models can achieve lifting speeds of up to 100 feet per minute (FPM), increasing throughput and productivity on the job.
• Variable Speed Control: Precise load positioning is possible with adjustable speed controls, offering smooth starts and stops for maximum operator control and reduced load sway.
• Explosion-Proof by Design: Air-powered operation makes these hoists safe for use in Class I, Division 1 hazardous locations, including chemical plants and confined spaces where ignition risk must be minimized.
• Compact & Lightweight: Air hoists are often 30–50% lighter than their electric counterparts, allowing for easier installation in overhead applications and tight workspaces.
Common Applications:
Air hoists are trusted in industries that require consistent performance in extreme conditions—such as mining, offshore drilling, power generation, construction, and aerospace. They are especially valuable where moisture, dust, or flammable gases are present.
For safe, efficient, and continuous-duty lifting, air hoists offer a reliable solution that meets the toughest industrial demands.
