WIRE ROPE HOISTS
SEMI-LOW HEADROOM HOISTS (FES MODELS 2-3 TON)

Semi-Low Headroom Hoists provide low
headroom while still maintaining versatility
when it comes to configuration options. As
examples, our Semi-Low Headroom Series
could be built into a raised, under-running,
dual-rail configuration to truly maximize
every inch of available overhead space or
perhaps combined with a tractor drive to
provide low headroom while also negotiating
a curved monorail. Our hoists meet or exceed
the Performance Standards for Overhead
Electric Wire Rope Hoists as per ASME
HST-4 as well as the Safety Standards for
Overhead Hoists as per ASME B30.16.

HOIST WORM GEARING
HOIST WORM GEAR 3D MODEL
We use Worm Gear Drives as standard on all new equipment.
They offer superior performance and distinct advantages for hoists and trolleys.

Worm Gear Drives are rugged and reliable and offer smooth and quiet operation.
A worm gear style hoist with its inherent braking capabilities makes it one of the safest hoists in the market.

Custom Control Panels
Panel With VFD Hoist and Trolley Controls
controls with radio
We offer various Control Packages for all our Hoist and
Crane Equipment. Whether it is Standard or Custom, we
can build the control panel of your choice.

(VFD) Control Packages are slowly becoming very popular
and are almost standard on all new equipment these days.
The benefits of (VFD) Controls by far outweigh its initial
costs. (VFD) Controls allow the operator to precisely and
safely control the load. Acceleration and deceleration rates
and 2-speed control limits are all set to best support the
given application. Any wear induced on mechanical parts
over time when using (VFD) Controls is much less.

Custom Controls With Radio
Please see our photos for further reference on our control panels.

Optional Feature: Component Parts - Overload Limit Switch
overload limit switch
We offer an Overload Limit Switch that is mounted
underneath one of our trolleys as an OPTION. This
Overload Limit Switch can be purchased with a
NEW hoist or for an EXISTING hoist and installed
in the field with minimal effort. This switch is adjusted
within 5% and there is no loss of headroom.

Machines are designed in accordance with our interpretation of the specifications of
the National Electric Code, Underwriters Laboratory and Factory Mutual but are
NOT tested by them, nor do they carry their label as a whole. However, most of the
Individual Electrical Components do carry an Underwriters Laboratory (UL) Label.

Please NOTE; the full responsibility for determining the existence and severity of a
hazard in a specific area rests with the (Authority) responsible for enforcing that code.

Additional NOTES:

• Machines are available for Class I (Vapors): Groups C & D and Class II
   (Dusts): Group E, F & G (As Division 1 or 2)
• We use TENV motors as standard on all Division 2 applications (With
   Contained Hazard) as permitted by NEC code.
• Any requirements for Spark Resistant Features in severe hazardous
   environments lies with the (Authority)
• Spark Resistant Features generally include Stainless Steel Wire Rope,
   Bronze Trolley Wheels and Bronze Hook and/or Complete Block.

HOT METAL HOIST
Dependent upon the severity of the application, we offer many different
features some of which are printed as guidelines by CMAA, ASME
and ASTM publications.
Please see our Equipment Photos as well as a
list of Hot Metal Hoist Features for further
reference.

• High Temperature Oil in Reducers.
• High Temperature Grease in all Bearings.
• Rubber Bumpers.
• Oversized Hook – Hook Throat Opening and Radius
   shall allow ladle bail to fit firmly in the bowl of the hook.

Optional Feature: Custom Hoists - Hoist and Tractor Combinations
rope guide hoist with tractor drive For superior trolley performance utilize a Hoist & Tractor
Combination.

The consistently POSITIVE action of a drive tractor will
generally out-perform a standard motorized trolley in many
monorail applications.

By combining a drive tractor with your hoist, you will better
negotiate curves, ride up inclines and will eliminate nuisance
slipping in many severe working environments.

Furthermore, the inherent beam tension of a drive tractor
can also serve to RESIST motion in certain applications
particularly when load swing or side-pull present motion
issues.
