Fewer components
June 1st 2008 Factory crane expert, Street Crane
Company is launching a new
generation of mid-range hoists (zero
to 25t safe working load) for
the engineering sector. The
ZX6
and
ZX8
Series
hoists
offer
flexibility with
multiple options on drum,
gearing, controls and other
optional equipment. ZX6 and
ZX8 Series hoists are engineered
for high volume production, with
the adaptability to meet individual
customer needs.
The hoists have 30% fewer
components than their
predecessors, are quicker to build
and offer users exceptional
performance, reliability and value.
The gearbox is a principal
component in any hoist, and the
ZX6 and ZX8 Series features
hardened precision ground gears
immersed in oil within a machined
gearbox case. Like other Street Crane
hoists, the units have an open plan
design for easy access to
components and to
promote
cooling.
They are
also
designed
to
minimise
height
and overall dimensions so they
occupy minimum space, making
them suitable for modern low-rise
workshops.
The design changes have enabled
Street Crane to up-rate duty
classifications. Long term reliability
has been proven by an intensive
programme of accelerated life. ZX6
and ZX8 hoists will be offered on
whole cranes engineered by the
company, and available as
standalone components. More articles from Street Crane Co Ltd: |
