Considering a Maxial Track Hoist? Here are some pointers.
A successful project means you planned carefully, estimated accordingly, and chose the right equipment for the job. When using the Maxial Track Hoist from BETA MAX for certain applications, there are a few things to consider first.
The height is 125-175 feet. For greater heights, longer cable kits are available. It is most effective on scaffolds 50 feet in height or higher.
No counterbalance is needed, and the only tie-offs required by OSHA are a 4 to 1 ratio.
There are both mechanical and electrical overload features that prevent workers from attempting to lift more than the 450 lb. maximum.
There are three standard size baskets, a system scaffold carrier, a frame scaffold carrier, and a universal platform. Many companies utilize the system scaffold carrier to primarily avoid the temptation to overload. When you’re lifting, insulating, and jacking, the universal platform or insulation basket is used.
Once the scaffold has been installed, the system basket hoist can be further utilized by changing the basket out and using a different basket to lift installation rolls or other materials. Custom baskets, such as the installation basket, are available by request.
The basket weighs less than 100 pounds and can easily be handled by two people. Every part of this system can be handled and erected with just two people.
The hoist is electrically powered, with 120V AC 30 AMP models and 220 volt single phase models available. Adequate electric power must be supplied.
