Electric belt hoist
ATHLO belt
Two worlds, one solution. Belt hoists fully leverage their strengths both in harsh environments with high humidity or dust, as well as in areas where maximum cleanliness is required.
ATHLO belt offers a wide range of configuration options and can be perfectly adapted to your individual requirements. Belt-based versatility for loads up to 6.3 t.
Size 2 is certified for cleanroom class 7, features an electronic overload protection, and optionally enables exceptionally smooth and precise load handling thanks to stepless lifting speeds.

Load belt and belt guide
Benefits:
- Lubrication-free operation of the load belt
- Smooth and consistent lifting movements (no polygon effect)
-
High resistance to environmental influences
The Dyneema® load belt offers high load capacity, is extremely durable, and enables lubrication-free, smooth operation without a polygon effect. In combination with polyamide rollers, no metal abrasion is generated, making it ideal for hygienically sensitive applications. Sealed bearings also ensure smooth running, as well as a long-lasting and low-maintenance solution.
Stainless steel components
Benefits:
- Smooth stainless steel surfaces enable easy cleaning and high hygiene standards
- Durable and low-maintenance
-
High resistance to dirt, dust, and chemical influences
Numerous components of the ATHLO belt are available in stainless steel versions, enabling the hoist to be used in hygienically sensitive as well as dusty or corrosive environments. They ensure high durability, easy cleaning, and a long service life in daily operation.
Protection rating
Benefits:
- Protected components ensure trouble-free and reliable operation
- High level of protection as standard (IP55)
-
Increased protection rating IP66 (BH2, optional)
With a standard protection rating of IP55, the system is reliably protected against dust and water splashes. Optionally, IP66 (BH2) provides an even higher level of protection, enabling ATHLO belt to be used safely even under particularly harsh or wet conditions.
4-step geared limit switch
Benefits:
- Precise stop of the lifting movement (finely tuned switching points)
- Increased operational safety
-
Prevents hard end stops and extends the service life of components
The 4-step geared limit switch ensures safe and precise limitation of the lifting motion. Through staged switching - deceleration and stopping - the end positions of ATHLO belt are reliably maintained, reducing mechanical stress.
Hoisting gear
Benefits:
- Designed for continuous operation under demanding operating conditions
- Lifetime lubrication as standard, reducing maintenance requirements
-
Food-grade lubricants available (optional)
The hoisting gear is supplied as standard with lifetime lubrication and is designed in a robust industrial configuration. Optionally, food-grade lubricants are available, making it ideal for use in hygienically sensitive environments.
Hoisting motor + brake
Benefits:
- Powerful hoisting motor with two speeds (pole-changing, IP66) as standard
- Stepless hoisting speed for precise and sensitive lifting movements (BH2, optional)
- Overheating protection and maintenance-free design, minimizing service effort
-
Enclosed brakes for reliable and safe operation
The standard pole-changing hoisting motor provides reliable and robust performance with two speeds (6/1), a high protection rating of IP66, and maintenance-free brakes. Optionally, the frequency inverter (BH2) enables stepless hoisting speeds for especially precise, smooth, and gentle lifting movements.
Hook block
Benefits:
-
Designed for demanding industrial environments
-
Excellent corrosion protection (zinc/nickel plated), stainless steel available (optional)
-
Easy and quick to clean
The zinc/nickel-plated hook block offers particularly high corrosion resistance and a long service life. Its durable surface ensures high wear resistance, is easy to clean, and is equally suitable for use in demanding as well as hygienically sensitive environments.
-
Designed for demanding industrial environments
Design
Benefits:
- Minimal headroom (C-dimension) for optimal use of space
-
Robust design (steel; optionally with stainless steel components)
All components of ATHLO belt are arranged to ensure efficient use of space. The belt hoist is also available with stainless steel components.
Depending on requirements, ATHLO belt can be equipped with a fixed suspension or a trolley (manual/electric or swivelling trolley).
Stepless trolley travel
Benefits:
- Precise load positioning
- Smooth starting and braking (frequency inverter)
-
Improved operational safety thanks to reduced load sway
The stepless trolley travel enables particularly precise, smooth, and controlled movement of the load. By using modern frequency inverters, acceleration and speed are optimally regulated, reducing wear and significantly increasing both efficiency and safety in operation.
Overload protection
Benefits:
- Increased operational safety
- Prevention of damage and failures caused by overload
-
Longer service life through controlled load limitation
The integrated overload protection reliably safeguards the hoist against impermissible loads. It enhances operational safety, prevents damage to components, and ensures compliant, long-lasting crane operation. ATHLO belt size 2 features electronic overload protection.

Info zu FEM/ISO:Die Hubwerkseinstufung (FEM/ISO) ist eine Kennzahl die sich primär aus der mittleren täglichen Laufzeit des Krans und der tatsächlichen Last zusammensetzt. Hierbei wird auch berücksichtigt wie oft das Hebezeuge hierbei Höchstbeanspruchungen oder nur geringen Beanspruchungen ausgesetzt ist oder wie viele Starts/Stops erfolgen.
Vereinfacht:
1Am / M4 = Die mittlere tägliche Laufzeit beträgt rund 1 Stunde und das Hebezeug wird häufig höchstbeansprucht und laufend mittleren Beanspruchungen ausgesetzt.
2m / M5 = Die mittlere tägliche Laufzeit beträgt rund 2 Stunden und das Hebezeug wird häufig höchstbeansprucht und laufend mittleren Beanspruchungen ausgesetzt.
