Process duty wire rope hoists are available from The David Round Co. for any size beam. Lo-hed hoists feature H4 duty ratings, making them suitable for lifting applications from 0.5 to 15 tons. The hoists can be customized to operate on beams with 3-in. to 14-in. or greater widths.
The Lo-hed hoist design maximizes overhead clearance to provide additional workspace over assembly bays and reduce construction costs by lowering ceiling heights without sacrificing workspace. A 1 ton hoist typically requires less than 14-in. of headroom; a 15 ton hoist requires 36-in. of headroom.
