Overview

Extremely resistant – also in agressive environments – the Kito CF
The Kito CF is a manual chain hoist with an extremely robust closed Aluminium die-cast body that particularly features a long service life and reliability. This also suggests its special areas of application, since the CF is mainly used where there is exposure to aggressive environments. Thus you will find this hoist in operation in industry sectors like heavy construction, maintenance operations, repair and refurbishment, piping installation, and similar applications. For the user this means significant time and cost savings, an increase in productivity and a considerably smaller workload.
Kito’s CF is CE marked and conforms to all applicable machinery directives. The product offering covers 500 kg – 3 t capacities, in the lift lengths of 3 and 6 meters. Weighting just up to 28 kg the CF stands up for its ease of handling und portability.
The Kito CF is unique with its single reduction gearing that results in lifting speeds up to 28 % faster than typical manual chain hoists. Moreover it is built with double pawl springs, and heavy duty heat-treated pinion and gears. The gear shafts with ball bearings minimize the friction forces so that the pulling forces from the user on the hand chain reaches the load without some of it being lost. This optimized force transmission guarantees ease of operation.
The hoist is also extremely maintenance-friendly. Only four screws have to be removed to gain access to the gearing, the load chain pinion and the braking mechanism. So maintenance can be carried out quickly and precisely.
Like all Kito chain hoists, the CF comes standard with highly corrosion resistant Kito brand grade 100 load chain. The chain is nickel plated and has an ultra-smooth surface that results in reduced link-to-link wear, and increased lifetime.

Overview

Compact, lightweight and simple design
With a weight of 2,4 kg, a minimum height of 217 mm and a load capacity of 250 kg, the Kito Manual Chain Hoist CX003 is one of the smallest and lightest chain hoists available. What is more, with its advanced industrial design the CX received the sought-after price of the “Good Design Awards”, which was awarded by the Japan Industrial Design Promotion Organisation in October 2008.
The small CX003 is the size of a beer coaster and is the preferred choice wherever repair work has to be carried out and the fitter has to carry the unit with him. This could be in the area of mechanical engineering, for the replacement of defective parts, or for stage construction.
The aluminium casing is finely worked and fitted with countersunk bolts. The manual chain hoist is fitted with overload protection as standard equipment. The mechanical braking system, the load chain guide and the nickel-plated load chain for longer service life are other special features. Further advantages are easy handling, durability and reliability.
The unit has an operating force of only 14.7 daN, making it one of the easiest hoists in the world to operate. The CX003 naturally features overload limiters as standard equipment and these come into effect at 130 to 170 % of the maximum load capacity. In other words, when an attempt is made to lift a load which exceeds the load capacity, the hand chain slips through so the load cannot be raised.
The load chains, with a diameter of 3.2 mm, and the fine chain pitch allow adjustment of the hoist in a unique manner, permitting lifting movements with millimetre precision. The unit can be operated at temperatures from −40 °C to +60 °C. Another special feature of this hand chain hoist is the excellent chain guidance, thanks to an improved chain pass.

Features

Product features:

• Lifting capacity: 250 kg
• Small pocket-sized format
• Well-finished aluminium body fitted with countersunk bolts
• Only 2,4 kg net weight
• Compact construction: a minimal height of 217 mm
• Low hand-pull force for easy operation (less than 15 kg pull force to lift rated load)
• Overload limiter as standard: protection against accidental overloading
• Wide hook opening (top and bottom hook)
• Hook latch with safety tip (top and bottom hook)
• Nickel-plated load chain with small chain pitch for precise lifting movements
• Abrasion-resistant nickel-plated load chain for high and uniform strength (1000 N/mm2), in accordance with standard DIN EN 818-7

Product advantages:

• Easy and smooth operation with minimal hand-pull force

Overview

The Kito Manual Chain Hoist Series SHB – High performance even in tight spaces
With the SHB (Short Headroom Block) Kito Europe has created one of the shortest trolleys offered on the market to date. With a hook dimension of only 115 mm, in the one ton load capacity range, this hoist permits its use also in extremely reduced spaces with low head rooms. The trolley with cast trolley wheels distinguishes itself by its swift and reliable operation.
As customers were repeatedly facing the problem of there being absolutely no more headroom for upward movement, Kito responded to the needs of its customers and the market and developed a chain hoist with ultra-low headroom. As with the other Kito products the focus was directed at functionality bearing in mind the technical requirements of the individual customer. Closer investigation showed that the problem of restricted lifting height often arose, for example, where machines had to be lifted for maintenance purposes, but the extremely small space between the machine and the ceiling did not permit this. Another application is in the paper industry, to shorten the down time needed for essential maintenance work and to get production going again quickly. The short trolley is permanently installed, so it is always available for this purpose. Naturally, there are various other application problems which could be solved with the short trolley SHB. The basic unit is a hand chain hoist, the well-known model M3 from the CB Series. The SHB works with two load chain falls. Four falls are only needed for the load capacities of 7.5 t and 10 t. The basic unit has an impact-resistant gear housing, double ratchet springs, a precision gearbox and double casing for protection against dust and water, a safe and reliable load pressure braking system, load chain guidance and a nickel-plated load chain for long service life.
In short, its easy handling, long service life and reliability make the short trolley SHB the obvious choice.
