Ingersoll
Rand, a global leader in compressed air systems and services, power
tools, fluid management and material handling equipment, will showcase
three new material handling solutions—the Kinetic
Series manual chain and lever hoist offering, the EZ
Series floor supported crane system and the SideKick
Series ultra-compact lever hoist—at the 2014 MODEX
Show held in Atlanta, Mar. 17-20.
Ingersoll Rand leaders will be available to demonstrate and discuss the
company’s material handling solutions in the Ingersoll Rand booth 9528
at the MODEX Show. Attendees are invited to operate Ingersoll Rand
hoists and experience the company’s material handling durable offering
in several real-life lifting situations within the booth.
“Ingersoll Rand material handling solutions are tough enough to handle
even the most challenging environments in industrial, ship building,
commercial construction, manufacturing, and warehouse applications,”
said David Puck, vice president of material handling product management,
Ingersoll Rand. “Our lifting and material handling equipment are built
with premium, durable features to maximize productivity and help ensure
safe, reliable lifting, pulling and positioning. We are looking forward
to showcasing our new Kinetic Series, EZ Series and SideKick hoist and
crane systems at the MODEX show.”
Kinetic Series Hoists
Kinetic
Series hoists are built with bearing construction — caged ball
bearings on the load sprocket and caged roller bearings on the main
shaft — to minimize the manual effort required by the user, which makes
for an overall smoother operation. The Kinetic Series manual chain and
lever chain hoists are ideal for industrial and manufacturing
applications in refineries and the construction, power generation, ship
building and workboat markets.
The lever chain hoist is built with a corrosion resistant, fused
brake disk design for longer brake life and an ergonomic grip to reduce
operator fatigue. The lifting capacity of the lever chain hoist ranges
from .75 to 9 metric tons. The manual chain hoist has a
reinforced double pawl brake system and large diameter pawl springs,
ensuring the reliability of the braking system. It is constructed
entirely of lighter-weight steel, and has a lifting capacity that ranges
from .25 to 20 metric tons. Both hoists are lightweight and their
compact designs have low headroom for increased lifting height, even in
tight spaces.
EZ Series Floor Supported Crane Systems
EZ
Series floor supported crane systems combine industry-leading
articulation and rolling resistance and eliminate the need for an
overhead support structure. This rugged design with powder coat finish
is ideal for industrial environments. The certified steel structure
offers simple and rapid installation options which combine the bridge
and rail crane technologies. The EZ Series features an advanced trolley
design with injection molded Delrin wheels reducing rolling resistance
to 1 percent of the load and the Lindapter® adjustable toe clamps make
it easier to align runways for smooth operation.
SideKick Series Lever Hoist
The ultra-compact SideKick
Series lever hoist weighs less than 10 pounds for maximum
portability and is compact to fit into the tightest spaces. The SideKick
Series hoist is the perfect lifting companion for the DIYer, mechanic,
maintenance person and anyone requiring a highly portable lifting
solution. The SideKick hoists incorporate a double pawl, disc brake
system for dependability and heat treated side plates for additional
durability. Their lifting capacity ranges from 0.25 metric ton (550 lbs)
to .75 metric ton (1,650 lbs) with 5-foot and 10-foot chains.
