New air hoists
May 22nd 2009

Two new air operated hoists are being added to the Profi range manufactured by J D Neuhaus. Both hoists feature a new high-performance vane motor with a 2kW rating, which achieved ‘super-reliable’ results on 480 hours long-term test under full load conditions.

The products include a Profi 1.5 Ti hoist with a carrying capacity of 1.6 tonnes, together with a Profi 3 Ti/2 with a capacity of 3.2 tonnes.

The new Profi 3 Ti/2 is a 3.2t swl two chain fall hoist and is available as an option to the existing Profi 3Ti/6Ti single/dual fall hoist which has lifting capacities of 3.2t/6.3t. However, at 66kg in weight, the new dual fall 3.2t swl hoist is some 30% lighter than the existing single fall 3.2t swl hoist unit, as well as having savings of up to 50% in air consumption. The hook-to-hook and body dimensions also provide a more compact hoist package which is reflected in a more economic selling price compared to the Profi 3Ti/6Ti alternative.

The new smaller hoist has no shortfall in performance, however, with tests corresponding to 19,200 successful continuous full load cycles over a three metre lift height.
