Ultra"low headroom wire rope hoist

Expanding its comprehensive line of high"quality wire rope hoists, Columbus McKinnon Corporation introduces the Yale LodeKing LT ultra"low headroom top"running wire rope hoist. Available in capacities ranging from 10 to 25 tons, the LodeKing LT is the ideal choice when purchasing a new or replacement hoist for facilities with space limitations. Manufactured in Wadesboro, North Carolina, the LodeKing LT is designed for heavy"duty CMAA Class D service. Each hoist comes equipped with a Magnetek closed"loop variable frequency drive that allows for accurate and precise load control while reducing brake wear. Packed with safety and performance features, the Magnetek IMPLUSE VG+ Series 4 drive includes multiple control and power supply options, an external hoist brake resistor, motor thermal overload protection, keypad with digital display and a recorded fault history that aids in troubleshooting and maintenance. The LodeKing LT also features plastic"infused wire rope specifically developed for maximum performance on overhead cranes. This unique wire rope has a plastic core that prevents metal"to"metal contact between strands, helping to reduce abrasion and wear within the wire rope, while increasing the rope strength by 15 to 20%.
