  • Page 38: Electrical

    3.4.9 Electrical 3.4.9.1 Understanding electricity The electricity that powers your Maxial Track Hoist is as important as the hoist itself. Electricity may seem complicated, and an easy-to-understand explanation would be helpful. The following is an attempt to help explain and simplify electricity.
  • Page 39 MAXIAL TRACK HOIST REV. 2.2 (2017) Beta Max electrical hoists are high energy and can lift large loads at high speeds, which require a lot of AMPERAGE (water volume). Therefore, a lot of continuous VOLTAGE (pressure) is required. As the load increases, more AMPERAGE is needed. Maxial Track Hoists require more AMPERAGE than a simple rotary saw or drill because of the extra work being performed.

    3.4.9.2 Maxial Track Hoist electricity The Maxial Track hoist is powered by 115V AC or 220V AC motor that drives a gear reduction transmission providing a single-rope lifting capacity of 600 lb (272.2 kg). The 600 lb lifting capacity is an end of the wire rope cable capacity. The net capacity is 450 lbs which is from the end of rope capacity minus the Universal Carriage and Carrier Basket.
