The new-generation CLX chain hoist speeds up the work cycle and mainte?nance work, improves security, and doubles the service life of the hoist.

Konecranes has introduced a new-generation, cutting-edge CLX chain hoist that aims to meet customer requirements. The new chain hoist is a modernised and completely redesigned version of the company?s previous chain hoist. The CLX chain hoist comes with new technology, incorporating new innovations to speed up and facilitate operations by the end-user.

The new, steel-framed and sturdy CLX chain hoist is particularly suitable for individual workstation applications such as assembly cells in the workshop industry. Other applications include jib cranes and EOT cranes.The particularly sturdy structure of the hoist enables a larger load capacity, while doubling the life cycle of the machine compared to the current hoist. The durability of the lift chain was also a key element in the design. The patented chain sprocket dramatically improves the durability of the chain.

The chain sprocket?s transmission has been completely redesigned. The new, oil lubrication-based transmission reduces the operating temperature, enabling increased power. Furthermore, the new transmission is maintenance-free and much quieter to operate. The new transmission increases the speed ratio between low and fast speeds. The new 6:1 speed ratio enables a safe and accurate installation speed and an extremely fast movement speed. The wider speed range makes the CLX chain hoist 25 percent faster than its predecessor, which helps speed up the work cycle and improves work efficiency.
 
All components that require maintenance are easily accessible and do not require the removal of any parts.All electronics are located compactly on reliable circuit boards, minimising the amount of internal wiring compared to the previous model.The new design solutions make the maintenance work significantly easier and faster.

The safety functions have been integrated into the standard characteristics of the hoist. For example, the brake and the clutch have been installed on the same axle, which prevents the load from dropping even if the clutch breaks down.This feature takes the safety of the CLX chain hoist to a completely new level.
