Chain hoist range widened

The Eurochain VR16 and Eurochain VR25 are high power models. VR16 is designed for handling loads of from 1250 to 3200kg. 7 x 20mm or 9 x 27mm chains are available with 1 or 2 falls and a 12m or 20m chain collector. As for the VR25, its lifting capacity ranges from 1600kg to 5000kg. 9 x 27 mm or 11.3 x 31 mm chains are available with 1 or 2 falls and a choice between a 12m or 30m chain collector.

The products are designed to ensure maximum user safety. The standard version is fitted with a new hoist load wheel concept with intermediate teeth for the drive chain, 2 lifting speeds, a Start/Stop palm button on the control box, a torque limiter, a hoist disc brake, a very low voltage control system (48V), a variable speed travel motor, an electric safety limit switch for high and low positions, and it complies with the EC machinery directive.

Lubricated for life to reduce maintenance, the Eurochain VR hoist gear reducer was designed for very long operating periods of up to 3200 hours. High precision machining on the gear trains, moreover, ensures a very low noise pollution level when running. The clutch system is easy of access for occasional maintenance operations and its location in the gear box ensures the load is securely held by the brake whatever the operating conditions of the equipment.
