Air Hoist

An air hoist is a type of cargo handling and lifting machinery that uses compressed air as its power source. It mainly relies on compressed air to drive the air motor to operate, and then through the transmission mechanism to lift and lower the hook, thereby achieving the lifting and lowering of the cargo. Meanwhile, it is composed of air motors, brakes, reducers, control valves, operating devices, safety devices, trolley devices, etc. Since the air hoist does not use electric power for driving, therefore, it is suitable for use in places with explosive environments such as chemical plants, tunnel construction sites, mines, and steel mills. In addition, when the workpiece is very light or there are requirements for speed on production lines, it is very effective. It only needs to be connected to the compressed air hose to operate. It is not only lighter and smaller than electric motors, but also easier to install. Therefore, it can also be used for temporary production lines. Furthermore, we have diverse air hoist types for sale. Welcome to contact us for more details!

Compared with electric hoists, the unique advantages of pneumatic hoists make them stand out in special working conditions:

1. Intrinsic explosion-proof: No electric sparks are generated during operation, eliminating the need for additional explosion-proof designs. They can be directly used in environments with flammable and explosive gases or dust, such as coal mines, oil fields, and chemical workshops, fundamentally avoiding safety hazards.

2. Resistant to harsh environments: The outer casing is mostly made of cast iron or aluminum alloy, and the internal components are well sealed, capable of withstanding dampness, dust, high temperatures, and other conditions. They are suitable for underground mining, coastal operations, and other scenarios.

3. Simple maintenance: The structure is relatively simple, without complex circuits, and has a low failure rate. Daily maintenance only requires cleaning the airway and adding pneumatic lubricating oil, with maintenance costs far lower than those of electric hoists.

4. Overload protection: When the lifting load exceeds the rated value, the pneumatic motor will automatically stop due to insufficient air pressure, providing overload protection and preventing equipment damage.

As a type of lifting equipment powered by compressed air, air hoists are widely used in various industries and scenarios due to their explosion-proof, harsh environmental resistance, and flexible operation features. The following are its main application scope and applicable features:

1. In the petrochemical industry, air hoists are used in areas such as refineries and chemical plants' workshops and storage tank zones for lifting equipment like reaction vessels, pipes, and valves. Since pneumatic drives do not produce electrical sparks, they can prevent explosion risks caused by electrical sparks.

2. In the shipbuilding and marine engineering sector, pneumatic hoists are employed on the decks and in the engine rooms of shipyards and repair facilities for lifting engines, hull components, etc. Pneumatic hoists are resistant to seawater corrosion and moisture, enabling stable operation in rainy or high-humidity conditions, and can adapt to dynamic loads resulting from ship sway.

3. In the metallurgical and foundry industries, air power hoists are utilized in steelmaking and casting workshops of steel mills for moving ladles of molten steel and castings. Under high-temperature conditions, the components of pneumatic hoists are less likely to fail due to overheating, and they can withstand the wear and tear from dust and iron filings on mechanical structures.

4. In mechanical manufacturing and assembly workshops, it is used for precise lifting of workpieces in production lines, such as the assembly of engines and gearboxes in the automotive industry. Dejun pneumatic hoists offer high operational sensitivity and can meet the positioning requirements during assembly.

Due to its special features, our air hoists are very hot-selling at our company. Many clients want to order an air hoist but do not know which type of hoist is suitable for them. As a professional air powered hoist manufacturer, we will give you some helpful advice. Firstly, when making a selection, you need to consider parameters such as the load weight, space dimensions, explosion-proof grade of the usage environment, and temperature range of the specific scenario. We will match the appropriate hoist model for you. And then, the air hoist price and hoist manufacturer have the same importance for you. Normally, the price depends on its technical specifications, and the hoist brand will also influence the price. According to our hoist production and sales experience, a manufacturer is more professional than a trader.
