Kito Crosby has added Harrington branded hazardous location electric chain hoists to its three-phase electric chain hoist line.

These new hoists are designed for use in hazardous locations (HazLoc) where fire or explosion risks may exist due to flammable gasses or combustible dust.

The hoists are available in three different models for various hazardous location atmospheres:

• The RNER2 model is suitable for Class II Division 2 with protected dust groups F (coal) and G (grain).
• The RNER2B model is designed for Class I, II Division 1 with protected gas groups C (Ethylene) and D (Propane) and with protected dust groups F (coal) and G (grain).
• The RNER2D model meets the requirements for Class I Division 2 with protected gas groups of B (Hydrogen), C (Ethylene), D ( Propane).

Capacities range from 1 ton to 5 ton with a standard 10ft lift and are available in either a top hook configuration or with a trolley if additional mobility is required.

The hoists are designed for use in hazardous locations.

Standard configurations of the RNER2 model, including certain options, are certified and listed to applicable UL standards and are marked UL. The RNER2B and RNER2D models are listed to applicable UL and CSA standards bearing the cULus mark.

Standard features include low-headroom upper and lower limit switches, a long-life slip clutch protecting the hoist from damage, super strength, nickel-plated load chain and the established “The Guardian” Smart Brake Technology, Harrington’s failsafe maintenance-free brake with a 10 year warranty.

Capacities range from 1 ton to 5 ton.
