Air Hoists
Air Hoists
Overview
Air hoists, also known as pneumatic hoists, are mechanical devices used for lifting and lowering heavy loads using compressed air as their power source. They are popular in industrial settings where electricity might not be suitable due to safety concerns or environmental conditions. Air hoists are known for their durability, reliability, and ability to handle heavy loads efficiently.
The core components of an air hoist include an air motor that drives a chain or wire rope, depending on the hoist's design. When compressed air is supplied to the motor, it generates rotational force, causing the chain or wire rope to lift or lower the attached load. The speed and control of the hoist can often be adjusted by regulating the air pressure.
Air hoists are commonly used in industries such as mining, shipyards, automotive manufacturing, and oil and gas, where the presence of flammable gases or the need for precise control in harsh environments is essential. They are valued for their explosion-proof properties and resistance to overheating, making them suitable for hazardous areas. Additionally, air hoists are relatively low-maintenance, making them cost-effective options for heavy-duty lifting tasks in demanding work environments.
Types of Air Hoists
TCK Large Capacity Kito Air Powered Hoist
With 100% duty rating, fine-feathering controls, and reduced noise levels, the KITO TCK hoist will meet and exceed your production needs. Smooth variable-speed operation delivers extremely accurate load positioning and control, and you’re guaranteed to improve efficiency with high-speed lifts.
TCR Heavy Duty Kito Air Powered Hoist
The TCR pneumatic hoist offers 100% duty ratings, fine-feathering controls, and quiet operation. Lift around the clock with this workhorse. Enjoy extremely accurate load positioning and control with the smooth starts and stops of variable-speed operation.
TCW Wash Down Kito Air Powered Hoist
The TCW Series Wash Down Air hoist is specially designed for environments where equipment needs to be regularly washed off. This hoist operates lubrication-free, allowing for maximum cleanliness.
TCL Lubricant Free Kito Air Powered Hoist
The TCL Series lube-free air hoist series operates without air supply lubrication, leaving the surrounding environment free of oil mist from air exhaust. The TCL is ideal for use in any facility where oil mist is unacceptabled such as in food, chemical, or pharmaceutical industries.
TCS High-Speed Kito Air Powered Hoist
When a job requires ultra-high lifting speeds and 100% duty ratings, the TCS offers blazing-fast performance (up to 112 fpm) while still providing quiet operation and optimal control.
TCR250M Manipulator Control Kito Air Powered Hoist
Imagine all the power of the TCR hoist, but with a one-handed operation. The TCR250M offers all the features of a TCR plus the manipulator control, allowing for fine feathering control with just one hand. This hoist can operate for long periods of time while delivering smooth movement and precision placement for those tougher applications.
