More variety in variable speed range
October 1st 2007

Verlinde has expanded its variable speed range so that it is now available throughout the Eurochain VL hoist range for loads from 250 to 7500kg.

Variable speed used to be reserved for the Eurochain VL 10 hoist, with a lifting range of 500 to 2000 kg, but is now available for almost all the range, except for the VL1 and VL2 models.

The no threshold speed variation guarantees accurate load positioning and increased flexibility.

The speed of movement can be selected at will, depending on the loading weight, type of movement and the user's experience.

Lifting is said to be safer and more accurate. A minimum speed of about 0.2m/min (according to version) allows less experienced operators to handle loads without the risk of damage.

The standard Eurochain VL electric chain hoist has a coder on the motor shaft, braking resistance, brake control and rectifier relay, and continuous speed checking system. There is no jerking on start up and rapid acceleration.

Progressive start up and gentle stops mean that mechanical impacts are reduced. Loading on the hoist's parts and on the metal structure on which it rests is lower, thereby increasing its operating life.

Continuous speed checking offers good electrical performance and the slow movement on starting allow smaller power supply components to be used.
