LTM offers an extensive range of lifting and rigging equipment including the Lodestar and Prostar electric chain hoists which will be promoted at the show. Also on show will be the compact CM Prostar hoists, with increased capacities and speeds. This higher speed version will lift at 6 or 10 m/min (increased from the industry standard 4m/min). A small, lightweight 250kg at 4m/min version is also available.
LTM started manufacturing hoist controllers a year ago and has constructed systems for both direct control and low voltage controlled hoists. The past twelve months have seen the range of equipment grow, from 4-channel to 42-channel units. Most are movable flightcased units, but many wall mounted systems have also been built and supplied for permanent installations.
LTM will show an extended range of hand winches, as previewed in their new catalogue and reference guide which will be available from the stand.
• LTM has just opened a new training facility at its Wirral, Merseyside HQ, and completed its first two Lodestar Motor School product training events.
