Hand chain hoist model Yalelift 360

Capacity 500 - 20000 kg

Areas of operation as well as operator conditions have been improved in trail-blazing fashion, which goes far
beyond the classical hand chain hoist.

Features
This revolutionary 360 rotating hand chain guide allows the operator to work from virtually any position, in confined spaces or above the load. The yalelift can even be operated from the side of the load which also makes it possible to use the hoists for horizontal pulling or tensioning. Due to the additional flexibility, the operator is no longer forced to work in the danger zone near the load.

Optional

• Spark Resistance `features
• Chain container
• Overload prevention device
• Corrosion resistant versions

Yale Cable Puller

MODEL YALETRAC
Pulling force 800 - 3200 kgs


 

Yaletrac® cable pullers feature a lightweight, compact, high strength aluminium housing, smooth contour design with a large, flat bottom surface for increased stability in horizontal and vertical working positions.

Forward and reversing levers in tandem provide slim design and assure power transfer along the centre line.

Overload protection is by a shearing pin in the foward lever. Spare shear pins are conveniently located in the carrying handle or operating lever. A broken pin can be replaced without removing the load.

A lever disengages the rope clamp system allowing easy, smooth installation of the wire rope.

Yaletrac® uses a special flexible wire rope. It has six strands with a steel core and is identified by an orange strand. The rope is tapered at one end for easy threading and fitted with a safety hook on the other end.

The parallel arrangement of the clamping system protects the wire rope by distributing the clamping forces evenly. A long rope advance per each lever stroke increases the working speed.

The large opening in the top of the unit allows easy cleaning: simply flush the unit with water, apply motor oil for lubrication and the Yaletrac is again ready for use.
