  • High-quality bearings for gearbox, side plates and load chain sheave for long service life.
  • Extremely low overall height allows for optimal use of headroom.
  • Suitable for fleeting.
  • Hook blocks are equipped with robust safety catches and can rotate 360 degrees.
  • Fully enclosed stamped steel housing allows for outdoor use.
  • Zinc-plated brake parts and guide rollers ensure increased corrosion protection.
  • Load chain is zinc-plated as standard for added corrosion protection.
  • Load chain sheave with needle bearing.
  • Capacities from 250kg up to 50,000kg
