SINGLE REEVED - CM LODESTAR 2 TON HOIST

CM 2 TON SINGLE REEVED

CM (Columbus McKinnon) now  has a single reeved 2 ton capacity Lodestar hoist.  Previously, only a dual reeved hoist was available in 2 ton capacity.

Advantages:
  • Improved headroom
  • Elimination of possible pinch point at hook block
  • Elimination of potential to twist chain by upsetting hook block (i.e. flipping the lower hook block through the reeving)
  • Less chain - less cost to replace chain
  • Reduced hoist weight
The hoist is available in 16 FPM single speed or variable speed.

Further information on the hoist can be found at: 2 TON LOADSTAR HOIST DATA SHEET.

 


NEW ARTICULATING ARM JIB


 

Contrx Industries has developed a new articulating arm jib.  On a conventional articulated jib, a hoist hangs from the end of the articulated arm.  


 

Contrx' new design has a hoist which lifts and lowers the entire articulated arm.  


 

In certain situations, this can be an advantage in that the headroom from the hook attachment point at the end of the boom to the load is greatly reduced.


 

The unit is also portable and has a 150 lb load rating.


 

Further information on the articulating arm can be found at: 

  

A video of the unit in action can be found at: iCON YOUTUBE VIDEO.

We look forward to solving your material handling needs.

Sincerely,
