Suitable for entertainment use
The ProLyft electric chain hoist series AETOS are specially designed for use
in the Entertainment industry. The hoists are standard configured for motor
down use. The multilayer disentangle plate will guide the chain to get in and
out of the hoist and reduce the risk of blocking. The chain bag bracket is
designed to guide the chain in to the chain bag properly.
When the hoist is used in a motor up situation the chain bag bracket will
swivel to the right position without any adaptations. We recommend to rotate
the covers with handgrips 180 degrees when the hoists are used motor up.
Lifting or suspending loads above people
The ProLyft electric chain hoist series AETOS has been designed for use in
the Entertainment Industry. In the Entertainment Industry loads are often
suspended or lifted over people.
