With its compact, cast aluminium housing, 9 x 27 load chain, two robust handles and total weight of only 115 kg, the new chain hoist is especially well-suited to daily touring and rental use. Above all when used as a climbing hoist in combination with the Movecat Case, which was developed in close cooperation with users, ideal operation is guaranteed, as the chain-hoist can climb and retract independently drawing its power from the case, says Movecat.
In other respects the technical features correspond to those of the tried-and-tested PLUS and PLUSlite series. Accordingly the PLUSlite 1000-4 chain hoist can be used in either overhead or standard installations positions without conversion and is fitted with a patented friction clutch as overload protection, as well as offering continuous force and form closure in the load line, a braking system with two independent DC brakes and a Basic Plate chain guide. A further plus is the hoist's single-eyelet suspension. Chain hooks are available as an alternative. The feature set is completed by the option of retrofitting gear limit switches as well as incremental and absolute encoders. Dual chainfall operation of the PLUS and PLUSlite 1000-4 chain hoist is also possible, in which case a safe working load of 2,000 kg can be lifted at a speed of 2 m/min.
