Wire Rope Hoist NOVA – Production of forklift components – 1x5t

30 light crane systems with chain hoists from the ATHLO chain series, a bridge crane with a NOVA wire rope hoist is used in this production facility. With a load capacity of 5 tons, it handles heavy assemblies that cannot be moved by light crane systems during the production process.

The NOVA rope hoist is characterized by its compact design, low dead weight, and optimized utilization of the hall height. In combination with its reliable control system, it offers maximum precision when positioning heavy components.

The combination of many flexible light crane systems and a powerful bridge crane with NOVA wire rope hoist creates a perfectly coordinated material flow solution in production – from small parts to heavy assemblies.
