Powerstar Electric Chain Hoist

Designed specifically as an alternative to wire rope hoists for high speed lifting of loads from 2 to 20 tons in a space saving chain hoist. 

• H-4 or better rated duty cycle.

• Designed for heavy-duty industrial applications from 2 to 20 ton capacities.

• Liftwheel has machined chain pockets and is heat treated alloy steel for maximum  strength and wear resistance.

• Efficient regenerative braking system avoids heat generation in power train.

• Heavy-duty multiple disc D.C. brake (dual braking system).

• Motors up to 7 1/2 h.p. provide a wide range of lifting speeds.

• Single or two speed controls. Two speed models operate on 3:1 speed ratio.

• Standard adjustable upper and lower screw limit switches.

• Standard overload Protector device.

• Hardened forged steel latch type hooks.

• Fits most crane packages.

• Hoistaloy load chain can be easily inspected for wear and abuse.

• Flexible chain container is standard on all units up to a 20 ft. lift.

• True vertical lift.

• Factory tested to 125% of rated capacity prior to shipment.

• Close end approach.

• Lifetime warranty.

• Metric rated except for 10 & 20 ton capacities.

• Made in U.S.A.

• 2 thru 20 ton capacities available.

• Lug (2 thru 6 ton capacities only) and trolley (plain, geared and motorized) suspensions available.

• Rugged aluminum alloy hoist frame.

• Chain guide surrounds liftwheel.

• Machined and hardened steel Helical gears used throughout hoist for optimum performance and mechanical efficiency.

• Fully enclosed hook block with forged steel conventional latch type hook is standard on 2 thru 20 ton units. Latchlok hooks available on 2 thru 6 ton units.

• Extensive use of life-lubricated bearings plus sealed oil bath power train reservoir for minimum maintenance.

• CM’s hardened alloy steel, flexible Hoistaloy load chain provides high strength and long service life.

• Dual braking system.

• Heavy duty, industrial single speed controls include magnetic reversing contactor which operates on 115 volts provided by a control transformer.

• Totally enclosed, ball bearing, 30 minute rated, thermally protected, hoist duty motor is standard.

• Push button control is weatherproof (NEMA 4 rated).

• Drop of push button control is 4 ft. above hook at lowest position, unless otherwise specified.

• External push button chain strain relief is standard.

• Power cord length is 2 1/2 ft. unless otherwise specified.

• Trolley design permits easy adjustment for installation on a broad range of beam flange widths.

• Rugged welded steel trolley frame with bumper/rail guards projecting inward over flange to provide added protection.

• Trolley wheels have double row, tapered roller bearings plus machined and hardened universal treads to permit operation on American Standard or flat flanged sections interchangeably. 

• Spur gearing used in all motorized trolleys for improved efficiency and durability.

• Drop of hand chain on geared trolleys is 2 ft. above hook at lowest position, unless otherwise specified.

• Designed to be maintained “on the beam.”

• Up to 600 lineal feet of chain.

• Weatherproof (NEMA3R).

* 20 ft. lift is standard - for other lifts apply.
