July 1, 2019 - Engineered Material Handling, Valley City, Ohio, recently introduced its new EG Series Hoist, providing next generation enhanced features and benefits to its E Series Hoist for single girder cranes. With the new EG Series Hoist, trolley adjustment is easier than ever with integrated and robust staging that stays tightly together during adjustment. The EG Series Hoist is also designed to have a more spacious enclosure to accommodate much larger control panels and variable frequency drives. It will have capacities of 3, 5, 7.5 and 10 metric tons, and 20, 33, 50 and 65 foot lifts. The 5 ton and 20 foot lift will be rolled out first. The complete range will be available progressively by the end of 2020.
The new EG Series Hoist makes it easier to adjust trolleys to a variety of flange widths and beam types. A longer adjustment tube maintains better hoist integrity and tighter staging during adjustment, and during opening and closing. A new and more reliable hexagonal drive shaft enhances adjustment and reduces the number of parts involved. An improved limit switch (upper/lower) provides better repeatability during raising and lowering and a weight-operated limit is provided as standard.
The new EG Series Hoist incorporates new and better safety features. A new smooth acting rope guide tracks on a bar independent of the hoist frame to eliminate possible damage.
The new EG Series Hoist also offers manufacturing advantages and efficiencies. Instead of having various lengths of dead end supports, there is now just one size that fits all three lift ranges, 20, 33 and 50-feet. The EG Series also offers a variety of specialized hoist options including variable frequency hoisting.
