Big bag hoists

For “big bag” handling (BBH) applications, JD Neuhaus offers air hoists with capacities of 1 to 2 tonnes and with one or two lifting hooks. Versions with one lifting hook are suitable for cross beams so there is no danger of collision between the load and the chain box while lifting. With two load hooks the BBH hoists are aimed at more complicated multi-point cross beam, or simple rod cross beam, applications with two means of suspension.
The design allows other bulky loads to be handled and the hoists can be synchronised in two-hook configurations. A chain box is included as standard and all models can be adjusted to fit different I-beam profiles.
