Where single hook suspension mounting is utilised for any of the JDN hoists, then both oblique or horizontal pulling facilities can be utilised.

All of these JDN products incorporate high performance grease providing permanent lubrication for the patented vane motor design and planetary gearbox which ensures fail-safe starting with low maintenance and lube-free operation. This is complemented with a patented wear-resistant motor braking system for 100% duty rating and the elimination of downtime. The pendant control units supplied with these hoists provide sensitive, infinitely variable speed control for the precise positioning of loads. Filtered or piped air exhaust systems can be supplied, together with appropriate alternative grease lubricant for hoist operations within food-grade related areas. The low-headroom hoist designs combine strength with fast, silent and reliable operation, even for operation within hazardous environments including dusty, dirty or even potentially explosive atmospheres, and at temperatures from -20°C to +70°C. They are also manufactured to comply with ATEX ratings of Ex II 3 GD IIA T4 for the Mini hoist series and Ex II 2 GD IIA T4 / II 3 GD IIB T4 for the Profi TI range. Spark resistant upgrades are also available for the Profi TI range to achieve ratings of Ex II 2 GD IIB T4 or Ex II 2 GD IIC T4 for explosion group IIC.
