Premium Grade Components

Kito’s special heat-treating process ensures the CB’s internal components are of the highest possible grade and provide the utmost in long-lasting durability.

High-Impact Steel Housing

The CB has a rugged body and hand wheel cover made of heavy gauge high-impact steel, giving much needed protection in extreme conditions and demanding applications to see every job through to the end.

Abrasion-Resistant Load Chain

Made from heat-treated alloy steel for higher uniform strength, Kito’s legendary chain is second to none. It not only guards against scarring and wear, it keeps workers safer on the job by being the strongest chain on the market.

Bearing-Supported High-Strength Pinion

Kito’s one-piece machined pinion offers increased strength and rigidity by keeping its gears aligned and running smoothly for greater efficiency during full-capacity lifts. The strategically positioned bearings efficiently convert an operator’s input directly into lifting power to minimize worker strain and enhance safety.

Maintenance-Free Slip Clutch (optional)

The CB’s slip clutch protects the hoist from damage and helps the operator maintain balance in the case of an excessive overload. This feature keeps the hoist working safely in position on the job site, reducing costly downtime and repairs, and maximizing the safety of the operator and co-workers in the immediate area.
