J D Neuhaus will use CeMAT to showcase the new Mini air hoist

Developed using 20 years of experience of the previous model along with suggestions and collaboration with many customers both before and during new development, the new Mini represents the highest benchmark in hoisting technology.

The new Mini is available in four lifting capacities of 125kg, 250kg, 500kg and 980kg and is ideal for a wide range of light/medium manufacturing applications.

The new model incorporates a multitude of enhancements and innovations to maximise productivity, occupational safety and efficiency. These inlcude the integrated NFC tag meaning operation instructions and certificates for the hoist can be accessed by the end user via the JDN service app.

The Mini’s maintenance tasks are greatly improved with much of the necessary maintenance work, such as lubricating the motor chamber, exchanging the chain guide or even changing the motor unit, now being carried out ‘on the hook’ without dismounting the Mini. The number of operating hours has been doubled, allowing it to stay in operation for 800 hours. 

JDN has brought together the advantages of direct and indirect control of the hoist. Three control lines are bundled within one hose to keep the lines from twisting and providing more flexibility and operating comfort.

A new global innovation is the redundant optional fall support capable of holding the maximum capacity of a hoist coming free from the support structure. New limit switches offer another safety improvement, capable of switching off the lifting and lowering movement as soon as the bumper touches the stop valve. This slows movement and keeps the chain from being overloaded. Wear risks and safety hazards are therefore minimised and occupational safety is improved significantly.
