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.

Standard Configurations

Spec Category 1: 1, 2, 3, 4
Spec Category 2: 5, 10, 15, 20

Features and Benefits

FEATURES and BENEFITS:

DIE-CAST ALUMINUM FRAME
lightweight, rugged, holds shafts and bearings in close alignment.

GEARING
Combination of precision cut, heat treated helical and spur gears for quiet, efficient operation.

MECHANICAL LOAD BRAKE
Positive action, spring biased Weston type load brake holds the load and provides exact load spotting and control.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Mangaurd overload device protects against excessive overloads, the clutch also acts at upper and lower limits.

MULTI-VANE ROTARY AIR MOTOR
Eight vanes provide high torque smooth operation, positive starting and excellent control.

INTERNAL MUFFLER
Reduces sound level.

PENDANT CONTROL
Pendant throttle handle is of the full flow design for excellent load spotting capabilities.

THROTTLE VALVE
Precision throttle valves meter the air for smooth operation.

SPARK RESISTANT MODELS
Available at 1/2, 1 and 2-ton.

Compact Design
