New Astro hoist

Spider has launched a new generation Astro E2200 traction hoist for use with suspended working platforms/swing stages.

The 1,000kg/2,200lbs capacity hoist is aimed at applications in heavy construction, industrial installation, and maintenance projects – particularly in elevator shafts. Safety mechanisms are integrated into the body of the hoist, eliminating the risk of omission or poor installation. Spider claims that the new hoist has the longest duty cycle in its class, while load dependent traction extends the life of the wire rope.

The modular design allows the hoist to be customised to meet a client’s unique elevator installation needs with just a few, simple modifications of the controls, pendant, or mechanical interface.

John Sotiroff, vice president of sales and distribution said: “For over 25 years, Astro has provided a safe, robust and proven lifting solution for a variety of industrial and construction applications.Now the next generation Astro E2200 delivers the same proven performance, but with increased load capacity specifically designed for heavy elevator projects.”
