These parameters are controlled by a programmable Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) and my be modified as desired.  The lift action is likewise equipped with slow and fast operational speeds to give the operator better control on raising up the load.  The hoist may also be equipped with optional overload prevention device.

 

The jib-crane capacity is available in 1,000, 2,000, 4,000, 6,000, and 10,000 pounds and span reach and height per the customer's requirement.  It is available with NEMA-4 washdown package and special coatings for outdoor use such as marine environments.
