Hoist overload protectionDecember 1st 2009
REID Lifting has further enhanced its lightweight, portable lifting solutions with integrated overload protection chain hoists across all its lifting systems – Porta-Davit, Porta- Gantry, T-Davit and Porta-Quad – to WLL 5000kg.
The new overload protection chain hoists provide protection for the user, the load and the lifting system from those situations where peak loading or unknown forces may be present, at no additional cost to most standard chain hoists. If activated the overload mechanism will stop further hoist lifting operation, but will allow controlled lowering.
