The hoists have maximum speed of 500mm/s in compact packages while still maintaining the highest safety standards suitable for movement over people in show situations.
Completely silent brakes across the range along with the ability to ‘hover’ allow the use of the Apex system in environments where chain hoists previously may not have been appropriate. Ultra-smooth movement resulting from precision speed and position control make the most complex and graceful geometric movements a possibility.
Extended duty cycles and intelligent temperature monitoring allow longer continuous running periods meaning that Apex hoists can keep providing movement after other hoists may have to stop. The Intelligent Duty Cycle Management feature constantly updates the user on the remaining run time available on the hoist based on temperature, speed and weight, all precisely monitored by the system in real-time. This allows the user to maximise the usage of the hoist without fear of damage through over-heating.
The Apex hoist logs all the key usage data allowing owners of the equipment to keep an incredibly accurate log of the hoist’s usage. Run time, maximum load experienced by the hoist, maximum temperature reached and number of brake operations is just some of the data that allows the hoist’s owner to ensure that the hoists are not over-exerted and to precisely schedule maintenance and service to ensure all regulatory requirements are met.
