Oct 13, 2017 - Kito Powered Hoists for Safe and Efficient Handling of Loads Across Industries

In any manufacturing, warehousing, and construction setting, dealing with loads, especially those that are freely suspended or unguided, is an everyday occurrence. To complete their safe lifting and handling, overhead hoists are essential in aiding workers and operations. While there is a wide variety of configurations and constructions of hoists, a key criteria to consider is how these can be operated to complete applications. For effective handling of particularly large and heavy loads, Kito powered hoists present an ideal solution.

Electric Hoists

Kito’s electric hoists perform lifting and lowering applications through a live operator grasping and activating a control device. This device comes with push buttons or levers that energize an electric motor which then transmits power through the hoist, allowing the electric hoist to complete the lifting and handling application.

Pneumatic Hoists

Pneumatic or air-powered Kito hoists also perform operations with the use of levers controlled by a device that signals power transmission for the hoists, much like their electric counterpart. In contrast, pneumatic hoists rely on the levers to energize, through a series of values and other air components, an air motor that transmits power through the hoist, culminating in the completion of the lifting and handling application.

Kito Powered Hoists

At Gordon Russell, we carry Kito’s extensive line of powered hoists, both electric and pneumatic that are engineered to ensure the safe and efficient completion of the various lifting and handling applications you require in any setting, such as in manufacturing, warehousing, and construction, among others.

Kito Electric Hoists

Kito’s line of electric powered hoists include:

• ER 2

• FER

• SER

• ED

• EDCL

• ER2CL

• TNER

These electric powered hoists are designed for a variety of applications and settings, even being safe for incidental contact with a product in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. These are also engineered to perform smoothly while being low on maintenance requirements, thanks to an electrical fail-safe design. For instance, the ER2 is designed to operate quietly with only minimal vibration, which reduces noise pollution in your facility.

Even the smaller Kito powered hoists pack the duty cycle of their multi-powered counterparts, while being flexible enough to be both portable and installed as part of production lines, and allow for one-handed operation.

Kito Pneumatic Hoists

Apart from the electric powered hoists, Kito also offers the following air-powered hoists:

• TCR

• TCS

• AL

• AW

• AS

Kito’s pneumatic powered hoists pack fine-feathering controls and quiet operations, while delivering top performance even over extended durations. In addition to minimal noise and disruptions, air-powered Kito hoists pack maximum precision, allowing for optimal positioning of heavy loads and guaranteed safety during the lifting and handling process.

These powered hoists also come with built-in safety and maintenance features, which include spark resistance in explosive atmospheres. Even without the use of lubrication, these hoists are engineered to suit applications in various industries, including food, chemical and pharmaceutical. Additionally, these hoists also accommodate and operate effectively in limited corrosive, humid, and outdoor environments, allowing for safe handling of loads in a variety of production settings.
