Air hoist lifts 125 tonnes
December 1st 2011 What is believed to be the world's
first air operated hoist with a lift
capacity of 125t has been
manufactured by materials handling
and lifting specialist, J D Neuhaus.
This is the most powerful unit in the
company's EH range of handling
equipment.
Designated as an EH 125
monorail hoist, the unit operates
from a 6 bar air pressure and is
equipped with 10kW and 2.8kW
rated motors for the lifting and
traverse functions respectively. In
standard format, the hoist is supplied
with a six double-chain mechanism
providing a three metre lift at speeds
of 0.30m/min within a full load, and
0.38m/min on lowering. Horizontal
travel speeds of 6m/min are achieved
with maximum load and 8m/min
when unloaded. More articles from J.D.Neuhaus Limited: |
