Electric Chain Hoist

WMI Konecranes India Ltd has launched a new-generation, cutting-edge SLX Electric Chain Hoist. This is a modernised and advanced version of CLX chain hoist, and also incorporates new inverter in hoisting to speed up and facilitate operations by the end-user. The new, steel-framed and sturdy SLX chain hoist is particularly suitable for individual workstation applications, such as assembly cells, in the workshop industry. Other applications include jib cranes and EOT cranes. The patented chain sprocket dramatically improves the durability of the chain. The chain sprocket’s transmission has been completely redesigned. The new, oil lubrication- based transmission reduces the operating temperature, enabling increased power. Furthermore, the new transmission is maintenance-free and much quieter to operate. The new transmission increases the speed ratio between low and fast speeds. The new 6:1 speed ratio enables a safe and accurate installation speed and an extremely fast movement speed. The wider speed range makes the SLX chain hoist 25% faster than normal hoists, which helps speed up the work cycle and improves work efficiency. All components that require maintenance are easily accessible and do not require the removal of any parts. All electronics are located compactly on reliable circuit boards, minimizing the amount of internal wiring compared to the previous model. The new design solutions make the maintenance work significantly easier and faster. The new-generation SLX chain hoist has been designed to be energy efficient, and it meets all the requirements of the RoHS Directive. The hoist’s circuit boards do not contain any hazardous lead as soldering material, just one example of the hoist’s eco-friendly features.
