Jet JT9-110120 JSH-275-20 1/8-Ton Electric Chain Hoist 1-Phase 20' Lift

Navigating the world of electric hoists? Look no further than the JET® JSH Series. These hoists are a perfect blend of safety, durability, and portability, making them ideal for light-duty commercial and industrial applications. The die-cast aluminum housing makes the hoist super lightweight and easy to move around. Every model comes with a slip clutch overload protection mechanism. This nifty feature stops the hoist from trying to lift loads that are too heavy, protecting it from damage. There's also a built-in thermal overload protection system. It keeps the hoist from getting too hot, especially in low-voltage situations. The industry-proven magnetic disk brake is another great safety feature. It ensures quick stops and secures the load firmly. The maintenance-free gear train uses a sealed oil bath, so you don't have to worry about maintenance. The JET® JSH Series electric hoist is available in one-eighth ton and one-fourth ton capacities. You can choose standard lifts of 10, 15, or 20 feet, and custom lifts are also an option. Key features include multiple safety measures like limit switches to prevent the load chain from over-traveling. In terms of performance, it has a single-phase motor with an H3 duty rating and a 25% duty cycle.

Using the Jet electric chain hoist is quite straightforward. First, make sure the hoist is properly installed in a stable location. Check the load capacity to ensure you're not trying to lift more than the rated one-eighth ton. When lifting, keep an eye on the load chain and use the upper and lower limit switches to prevent over-travel. Avoid operating the hoist in low-voltage situations for long periods as it may trigger the thermal overload protection. For maintenance, since it has a maintenance-free gear train with a sealed oil bath, you don't need to do much. However, regularly inspect the hoist for any visible damage, such as cracks in the housing or wear on the load chain. If you notice any issues, stop using the hoist immediately and contact a professional for repair.
