Chain Hoist – Special Crane with Telescopic Girder – 1×500kg

This special crane system combines a compact chain hoist with a telescopic cross girder and is used in a workshop environment where limited space conditions require maximum flexibility. The system is mounted on a light crane system and offers a unique solution for work areas that are difficult to access due to machines, walls, or supports.

Thanks to the extendable girder, the crane’s reach can be expanded as needed – for example, for loading or unloading machines, for maintenance work, or for the precise placement of components. The electric chain hoist ensures controlled lifting and positioning.

This solution is particularly suitable for workshops, laboratory areas, or industrial productions with limited space availability, where ergonomic and safe handling of loads is still necessary.

ELECTRIC CHAIN HOISTS
ATHLO chain & ATHLO chain SL

The ATHLO chain series, our latest generation of chain hoists, is designed for loads up to 5 t. At the launch of the new series, we are offering this model for loads up to 2.500 kg with further options to follow in the coming months.

ATHLO chain combines high security, performance and usability with easy maintenance and a long service life. The modern design features a newly constructed interior and all-new mechanical components. ATHLO chain is easy to use and delivers top performance in different conditions.

In addition to the standard version, ATHLO chain SL is equipped with frequency inverter for sensitive movement. ATHLO chain SL is designed for loads from 125 kg to 2,500 kg.

Higher durability

The hoist motor with its new 4:1 ratio and redesigned cooling fins provides a better cooling in order to extend the service life of the hoist. ATHLO chain offers a new design for activating the limit switch which works flawlessly both in everyday usage and different conditions.

Easiest maintenance

ATHLO chain is low maintenance because both the hoist gear and bearings are designed to last a lifetime. All components are easily accessible, and no special tools are necessary to exchange components and install spare parts.

Higher performance, better handling

The new chain bag helps the chain run quietly and smoothly thus preventing an accumulation of the chain. To ensure top quality, we build the gears with an extended speed range ourselves in house. The compact design and new upper-eye suspension produce an increased lifting height at the same suspension height.

Improved safety

The new break is designed to handle 1 million cycles or up to a lifetime with the proper handling. It responds instantly when the power is turned off. The slipping clutch has a larger diameter and additional grooves to improve the cooling effect of the gear oil and increase its overall service life. Thanks to the new suspension bracket, a push or motor trolley can be installed using a special safety pin – with no further tools required.
