            • Basic Version
            • Version with electric-/push trolley

            Modular structure of the hoist:

            • High duty rate
            • Patented clutch system
            • First class material and technologies
            • Extremely low maintenance design
            • Contactor control with interchangeable components
            • Fast and absolutely safe changeover
          • B13 / B15 / POWER LIFTKET

          • In this range you’ll find electric chain hoists with a high lifting capacity. Two different models are available in this area: LIFTKET B13, B15 and our POWER LIFTKET. We solely offer single fall or double fall designs even for these big capacities in order to ensure an economically big lifting speed, to avoid intensive chain wear on more than two chain falls, to keep an economic price especially on bigger lifting heights and to ensure a high grade of efficiency by avoiding chain diversion points.

            Our LIFTKET B13, B15 can be ordered for loads weighing between 4,000 and 15,000 kg. It can be ordered with single or double fall execution and the option of a suspension eye, a hook suspension or an electric trolley

            Our POWER LIFTKET is available with single or double fall execution and the option of a suspension eye or an electric trolley for loads between 8,000 kg and 25,000 kg

            • A single point suspension is possible because the center of gravity is always underneath the supsension point. Different from wire rope hoists where the rope (load) has to move along a wide drum and a multipoint suspension is requested.
            • Good for big lifting heights and mobile use at construction sites
            • Very low and easy maintenance
            • Very easy conversion from single to double fall and vice versa
            • Very easy change to different lifting heights (impossible for rope hoists)
          • SPECIAL EXECUTIONS

          • LIFTKET is also well positioned in the areas of development and design for special solutions at the customer’s request. An efficient, motivated and productive team of engineers and application technicians develop special solutions in close cooperation with the customer. Our assembly department implements these special designs in a short amount of time.

            This is where solutions are shown for the transportation and lifting for instance long paper rolls in the printing industry. These double chain hoists are presented as a single or double girder variation, which can be offered with lifting loads of up to 2,500 kg and a maximum hook distance of 3,000 mm.

            The ultra-flat twin chain hoist is a twin hoist assembly for extreme low headroom solutions with a capacity up to 4,000 kg. The hoist comes with synchronised control and is also available with customer-specified controls. For further information please have a look at our flyer.

            LIFTKET also offers all hoists with remote controls made by a German manufacturer. These radio controls are designed with a plug/socket solution, a customer can either plug in a radio control or a simple pendant control. Electric chain hoist with two brakes and internal gear limit switch – encoders and frequency inverters can be added.
