Cranes work in hazardous environments
Cranes designed for safe operation, in the chemical industry or wherever the lifting or transportation of loads in hazardous atmospheres are envisaged, can be supplied by J D Neuhaus.
Ultra-low headroom on chain hoists
A range of monorail mounted chain hoists from J D Neuhaus minimise the 'dead space' between the underside of the monorail track and the load point of the carrying hook
With a compact design and all-up weight of approximately 30kg, this unit is ideally suited for mobile applications.
It provides a pulling capacity of 530kgf on the fifth rope layer, with a full 800kgf on the first layer.
Profi lifters in the 1200/2000kg range together with Profi Pullers of 1800/3000kg capacity are now supplied with 6kW motors, providing extra power and higher rope speeds for increased operating efficiency.
All these products feature planetary gear systems integrated into the drum and exhaust air cooling.
This ensures minimum maintenance and maximum reliability even with 100% duty cycle.
A high rope capacity is provided with four layer spooling, and overload protection is incorporated as standard.
Ease of installation, variable speed pendant control and a low-noise operating level are also combined with minimum air consumption.
Where winches are required to ensure that loads can be lowered under controlled conditions, even in the event of power failure, then JDN Profi winches can be fitted with a lowering control device.
This can be used for emergency handling of evacuation or escape equipment on offshore rigs and platforms.
The device incorporates a hand operated control lever (normally secured with a retaining pin), which enables the winch friction brake to be released.
This ensures that any attached load can be lowered with a controlled, moderate descent under the internal braking action of the winch vane motor.
Welded pulling frames can now also be supplied for all JDN winches to protect the underside while transporting over ground.
All JDN air operated winches (with hydraulic options also available for some models) are ATEX classified for hazardous area operation.
Versions with increased spark protection can also be supplied where higher safety ratings are required.
Optional features include longer drums for increased rope capacities with pressure roller for perfect spooling.
Emergency shut-off valves, a limit switch system and offshore paint kits can also be supplied.
