Konecranes has introduced a new-generation, cutting-edge SLX chain hoist that aims to meet customer requirements. Not only does the SLX chain hoist contain new technology, it also incorporates a 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 and EOT cranes. The particularly sturdy structure of the hoist enables a larger load capacity, while doubling the life cycle of the machine compared to other hoists. The durability of the lift chain was also a key element in the design. The patented 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.
