SLA Air Chain Hoist
The SLA Pneumatic Low Headroom Chain Hoist includes vane or piston motors and brakes with modulating valves for infinitely variable hoist motion. Design allows this hoist to operate in extreme low overhead locations where most other "low headroom" hoists can't.
Features and Benefits
Compact Design
Integral hoist/trolley design provides compact overall envelope dimensions.
Steel Construction
Steel construction to withstand harsh environments.
Variable Speed
Pilot air control permits variable speed hoisting and trolley traverse.
Redundant limit switches
Redundant limit switches for upper and lower hook travel.
Trolley Options
Plain, hand geared, or motor driven trolley models featuring anti-tilt rollers.
Can be made to fit virtually any beam
Easy installation
Unique design allows easy installation on closed end monorail beam.
