Product Description
Meet the latest and greatest hoist from the people at AMH--the new X5 series! Legacy product patents have expired allowing the best technologies to be available from others. When the best designs are re-tooled the opportunity exists to apply improvements utilizing new materials and processes that can improve function and cost. AMH takes pride in bringing quality products to market with the best features and price. Their new X5 Series lever chain hoists are an examples of this effort. These hoists are functionally interchangeable with Harrington (made by Kito Japan) or the CM Bandit brand, with some additional features. And importantly, final assembly and load test are performed in the USA, and each hoist is serialized with certification.
Overload Protection Available You can now order these hoists with overload protection for a nominal fee. Overload protection means that once the hoist has exceeded maximum lift capacity, a one directional clutch is engaged that will only slip in the lift direction--the load can only be lowered at this point. This safety feature is becoming more and more common to help users avoid the dangerous conditions encountered when lifting products are used beyond their intended capacity.
