Rotating Geared Limit Switch (GLS)
The GLS is available in 2-step and 4-step versions, functioning as adjustable upper and lower stop limits.
Extension Profile
Optional features such as double brake, geared limit switch, and stand-by heating are available to extend the hoist length through an extension profile part on the hoist frame.
Chain Hoist Trolleys
The EUROCHAIN VX electrical chain hoist is compatible with both C- and M-trolleys.
Lubrication
  • Lubrication Points: The chain hoist and trolley have specific lubrication points, including the secondary shaft, trolley wheel bearings, hoisting gear, and chain.
  • Lubricants: Different components require specific lubricants, such as MOBILITH SHC 460 for the traveling gear and RENOLIT special chain grease for the chain.
