AFE LOGO & TITLE






Several hoist manufacturers offer hoists with single hand controls.  These hoists integrate the operator controls into the hoist hook block to allow the operator to control the load path and the hoist with one hand.  

 

 Demags electric version of this hoist is the Manulift.  It is available in capacities up to 550 lbs and a range of lifting speeds with two speed and variable speed control options.

Harrington's single hand control hoist operates a bit differently than Demag's.  Instead of push button controls it has a cylinder control.  Hoisting occurs by lifting up and down on the cylinder.

The hoist is available in 250 and 500 lb capacity with a dual lifting speed of 55 & 9 FPM at 250 lb and 33 & 6 FPM at 500 lb.

Further information of these hoists can be found at:



Harrington also has an air version of a single hand control.  This unit has push buttons mounted on the hook block.

It is available in 250 and 500 lbs with full load lift speeds of 41 and 29 FPM respectively.

Further information on this hoist can be found at:

 

 

 

CM offers the TMM-140 air manipulator hoist.  

 

It is rated at 300 lb capacity and 36 FPM full load variable lift speed.

We look forward to solving your material handling needs.
