“A pneumatic hoist / air hoist is a power-driven lifting device that uses compressed air instead of electricity. It is used to lift and lower loads vertically and often also to move them horizontally – for example, in combination with a trolley. It is driven by a pneumatic motor that drives a chain via a gearbox.”
“A pneumatic hoist uses compressed air as its drive medium. At its heart is a durable multi-shaft motor that transmits its power directly to the lifting chain via a robust gearbox – in the PROFI series and mini series, it even has a 100% duty cycle for continuous operation.”
“Pneumatic hoists are advantageous wherever robustness, safety and low maintenance are crucial. They do not require complex electronics, are insensitive to heat, dust, moisture and vibrations – and can also be used in potentially explosive areas (ATEX) without additional protective measures, as they do not generate sparks.”
“The BBH series is specially designed for handling big bags – a pneumatic lifting device that impresses with its particularly low height and modular flexibility.”
“The lifting devices are adjustable for different I-profiles, and the hook spacing can also be adjusted retrospectively – ideal for changing requirements.”
