 German lifting equipment manufacturer SWF Krantechnik will be exhibiting its new air balancer, MOVEster, and its new electric chain hoist, CHAINster, at trade fair LogiMAT in February 2013.

CHAINster is a hoisting tool with two hoist speeds, the company stated. The brake is designed for the lifetime of the hoist while standardised, electrical modules with plug connections and high quality contactor controls are laid out as modules in the aluminium housing. The chain guide is made of metal. An additional teeth, is used on the patented chain sprocket, which results in a longer service life of the load chain, SWF stated. The CHAINster is available with an upper hook, a push or motor trolley.

LIGHTster has a load capacity of up to 2t. Three different profiles offer a multitude of purposes as required by the circumstances and conditions on site, SWF stated. Single as well as double girder versions in normal or low headroom are possible, and also monorail can be realised with LIGHTster. The systems can be designed as manually operated push cranes or motorised cranes. The narrow nylon wheels on the galvanised manual trolleys allow an easy and quite moving during operation, the company stated.
