High integrity hoisting systems are also available, including equipment to BGV C1 German safety standard. Special features include double brakes, load sensing and multiple limit switches. Variable speed units and manual or computerized controllers are available to monitor safety features and drive the equipment. LTM has more experience of BGV C1 than anyone else in the UK. LTM offers a comprehensive range of spare parts plus repairs and routine servicing, with staff fully trained in standard equipment and BGV C1.
The new compact CM Prostar hoist features increased capacities and speeds. This higher speed version will climb at 6 or 10m/min (increased from the industry standard 4m/min). A new 250kg SWL @ 4m/minute version is also available from LTM.
The company also reports that the Ibex Computerised Control System for Lodestar and other hoists is also being shown. Lift Turn Move comes to PALME 05 as an integral part of its first full industry exhibition season, and follows hot on the heels of the company's first Pro Light & Sound Frankfurt show, where they took several orders from the Middle Eastern territories. PALME is ideal for LTM to explore the region's rapidly expanding commercial opportunities, say the company.
