    The Danfoss Variable Frequency Drive regulates the motor’s speed and torque, enabling smooth acceleration and deceleration for smoothly and safely lifting and moving loads.

    The 3" display lets the operator know at a glance how many pounds the hoist is carrying. This adds safety and provides the ability to calculate load weights for freight companies.

    The rope drum is deeply grooved with stainless steel tube and a high tensile rope guide for optimum line arrangement, a greater safety factor, and a longer life.

  • 2-speed lifting motor

    All hoists feature a heavy duty 2-speed lifting motor designed for long component life and ease of routine service.

  • H4 duty class
