Air Hoists

Quick Ref: CN-7
Browse our premium selection of pneumatic air hoists, sourced from reputable manufacturers. Experience quality and reliability with our extensive offerings.

Air hoists which are also known as pneumatic hoists but are also referred to as compressed air hoists are similar in features to electric chain hoists except the hoist is powered by a compressed air supply. A main advantage of an air hoist is that they have a 100% duty cycle meaning they are suitable for constant use and for long lift heights where an electric motor would overheat.

An air hoist is usually supplied hook-suspended but can also be supplied with an integrated beam trolley. They are operated by push button pendant control or by cord control.

Typically an air hoist is often a more cost-effective solution when ATEX certification is needed because they are far cheaper than the equivalent electric hoist and is more suited to applications in harsh environments which is why it is the hoist of preference in the offshore oil and gas production, the petrochemical industry and maintenance sectors.

As with all lifting chain hoists that we offer, the pneumatic air hoists supplied by us are all from top-quality manufacturers; these include Red Rooster, Yale, Tiger, Hadef, JDN (JD Neuhaus) and Ingersoll Rand.

Pneumatic Air Hoist Range by Manufacturer

All Air Hoists

View:
Yale "CPA" Air Hoist Yale "CPA" Air Hoist
Pneumatic air powered chain hoist with optional air powered trolley. 125kg to 10 tonne.
Yale CPA / YPAH-245

The smaller 125kg to 990kg comes with chain collector bag and single fall load chain, 3 metre lift height and pendant control supplied as standard. These units excel through their extremely quiet operation and robust aluminium housing, low and easy maintenance due to reduced number of components, lightweight design and low headroom and the hoists are very handy and easy to carry.

 

From £3161.45
Yale "CPA Atex" Air Hoist Yale "CPA Atex" Air Hoist
ATEX pneumatic chain hoist with hook suspension or integrated beam trolley. 2 to 10 tonne.
CPA Atex / PCH-3727

With 100% duty rating and an unlimited number of starts the model CPA is suitable for heavy duty applications. It is insusceptible to contamination, humidity and aggressive mediums from the outside. The hoists are composed of three main components which makes service easy and inexpensive. The robust rotating piston has an adjustable spring pressure brake that holds the load secure even in the event of an air failure and a high starting torque due to switching valves in the motor body. Designed for operating pressure of 4 to 6 bar. Copper plated suspension and load hooks. Case hardened and zinc-plated link chain

Air Hoist Accessories

To keep your air hoist running smoothly, in most cases (some lubrication-free hoists are on offer) you will need a FRL (filter, regulator, lubricator) between your air hoist and its air supply. FRL's are not included as standard and neither are air hoses, but they can be supplied if required.

It is also possible to supply some of our air hoists with more specialist hose connectors if required.

Mechanical airflow restrictors can be supplied with some models that effectively reduce the air flow into the hoist, causing a reduction in the lifting speed. This can be particularly handy on lower-capacity hoists where the lifting speeds are far greater.

Please get in touch if your looking for a more specialist air hoist, or any non-standard options or accessories.
