Faster electric chain hoists
January 1st 2012

The new generation of Verlinde electric chain hoists for loads from 63 to 5,000kg is the Eurochain VR.

The range is designed to provide users with the maximum level of safety. In its standard version, it features a new lifting load wheel concept with intermediate teeth to drive the chain, a button unit punchtype On/Off switch, a torque limiter, a disk lifting brake, a very low voltage command (48V), direction speed version variation, a safety electric limit switches for up and down position and complies with the CE machine directive.

All models offer a wide range of speeds, 25% quicker than the previous generation. The lifting motor is also dual speed as standard for smoother operation. The Eurochain VR can lift up to 2.5 tonnes on 1 wire in FEM 2m, providing the possibility of working at higher lifting heights, while reducing the chain bag dimensions and so making the lifting unit more compact.

Lubricated for life to reduce maintenance, the reducer is designed for extremely long operating periods of up to 3,200 hours. The high precision machining on the gear trains also guarantee a very low level of noise annoyance.
