TCR Series

The TCR series of Air Hoists feature a host of advantages to increase your productivity. Compact, lightweight and highly durable, these quiet-to-operate air hoists perform fine feathering movements and precise load spotting without electrical hazard.

• Load-bearing parts are only stressed to 20% of their limit at rated capacity
• Abrasion resistant, case-hardened load chain is made from heat-treated alloy steel for high, uniform strength
• Single fall of chain through three tonne capacity prevents hook from capsizing
• Forged carbon steel hook design will not fracture under excessive load
• Reliable on-asbestos, self adjusting brake

• Built-in load limiter automically stops lifting when load is over the rated capacity on 1/2 ton and above
• Upper and lower limit switch prevent over-travel in up or down direction

• 360 degree swivel bottom hook with precision starting and stopping

• Weather-tight construction resists dust and water, reliable in hash environments

ER2 Series

Kito ER2 Series Electric Chain Hoists are engineered for heavy-duty industrial applications. These hoists feature advanced technology, easy serviceability and industry-leading quality.

Fail Safe Brake

Kito's DC-current brake design reduces maintenance costs by eliminating drag at start and responding immediately at stop.  This also places less torque on the motor providing extremely quiet and smooth operation.  The advanced technology used in Kito's DC-current brake protects you from hoist failure in the event of motor burnout or single-phasing.

Durable Upper / Lower Limit Switch

The limit switch stops operation if either end of the load chain contacts the hoist body, protecting against unnecessary downtime and service costs.  The ER2's redesigned upper/lower limit switch features enhanced durability and low profile design for improved hoist headroom.

Long Life Friction Clutch
The friction clutch prevents damage to the hoist by automatically engaging in the event of a severe overload.   When the slip clutch engages the motor is allowed to continue turning protecting both you and the hoist.

Forged Carbon Steel Hooks

Engineered to open gradually and not fracture under excessive loads, the forged carbon steel hook features a notched tip which interlocks with the safety latch for increased durability; These features allow for easy pre-use inspection of the hooks enabling you to operate the hoist with confidence.
