OZ Lifting Products LLC recently announced the launch of new wireless options for their electric chain hoist and builder's (wire rope) hoist. These innovations will enhance flexibility and ease of use for operators in various lifting applications.
The new wireless options can be purchased as part of a complete kit with the hoist, or separately as an adapter for existing hoists. This development provides customers with the choice to upgrade their current equipment without the need for extensive modifications. The traditional corded pendant versions will continue to be available.
Electric Chain Hoist:
Key features: Overload protection, integrated high-performance friction clutch with load brake, forged carbon steel load hook with heavy-duty latch, 360-degree rotation bottom hook, load sheave for smooth lifting, and precision machined, heat-treated gears.
Builder’s Hoist:
Features: Lightweight and compact design, dynamic and mechanical braking system, upper and lower limit switches, galvanized wire rope with 360-degree weighted hook, quick-release pendant and power cords, and compatibility with standard domestic power supply.
Wireless Adapter:
“The wireless options give the user greater flexibility, without the limitation of where the hoists can be operated. We have offered other wirelessly controlled hoists in the past and have always had success with them. We feel that both of these styles of hoist will be popular with a wireless option,” Richard Miller, the sales manager at OZ Lifting, said.
The new wireless versions and adapters provide operational advantages particularly in environments where traditional wired pendants are challenging to use.
