Whether you’re installing overhead structures, handling equipment, or performing general maintenance tasks, this hoist delivers reliable performance with minimal setup and maximum portability
Key Features
- Maximum Lifting Capacity: Capable of lifting loads up to 250kg with a single fall of high-strength chain. Suitable for a wide range of light-duty applications, including garage workshops, HVAC installation, event rigging, and warehouse operations
- Lifting Speed - Lifting: 3.5 metres per minute, Lowering: 4 metres per minute: These speeds ensure smooth and efficient operation while maintaining full control over the load
- All Aluminium Body: This hoist features a robust all-aluminium body, which significantly reduces its overall weight without compromising on strength or durability. The lightweight construction makes it easier to handle, transport, and install, especially in overhead or mobile applications
- Battery-Powered Convenience: Powered by a DC 18V rechargeable lithium-ion battery, the unit provides cordless operation, enabling use in environments where electricity is limited or unavailable. A fully charged battery offers up to 25 minutes of continuous lifting at full load
- Duty Cycle: With a 40% duty cycle, the hoist is designed for intermittent operation, making it ideal for light, occasional use without risking overheating or undue wear
- 2-Metre Pendant Control: Includes an ergonomic, easy-to-use pendant controller with emergency stop functionality to ensure operator safety during use
- Wireless Remote Control: Also includes a radio remote control with a generous 50-metre range, providing added convenience and flexibility—particularly useful when the hoist is mounted out of reach or when the operator needs to maintain a safe working distance
- Dual Brake System: For maximum user safety, the hoist is fitted with both an electronic brake and a mechanical brake, offering dual-layer protection against accidental load drops
- T-Grade Load Chain: Equipped with a 4mm diameter, T-grade alloy steel load chain for exceptional durability, strength, and resistance to wear, even under challenging working conditions
