Electric chain hoist PITCH-PF
The PITCH electric chain hoist from PLANETA is the ideal solution for demanding lifting tasks in industry, plant engineering, automotive, logistics, and mechanical engineering. Developed for maximum loads, this electric chain hoist impresses with its modern drive technology, maximum safety, and particularly robust design.
With load capacities ranging from 250 kg to 32,000 kg, the PITCH electric chain hoist covers an exceptionally wide range of applications. Equipped with frequency converter control, the electric chain hoist enables smooth starting and braking for precise load movements and a long service life for the entire system.
Two integrated overload systems – electronic and mechanical – ensure reliable protection of the hoist and support structure. The maintenance-free brake, the standard gear limit switch, and the IP66 protection class make the PITCH electric chain hoist ideal for outdoor use.
The compact housing made of aluminum-magnesium alloy ensures optimum heat dissipation and high resistance. Thanks to plug-and-play connectors, the electric chain hoist is particularly easy to service and install. Numerous special designs – such as short construction, synchronous hoist, or customer-specific solutions – round off the flexible product concept.
The PITCH electric chain hoist stands for maximum performance, safety, and economy – quality-tested lifting technology from PLANETA.
