INDUSTRY-LEADING PERFORMANCE FEATURES LOAD CHECK II ™ continuously detects hoist overload conditions, halting upward motion and only allowing the load to be lowered. Load Check II continuously monitors the hook load, both during acceleration and constant speed, eliminating the need for load cells in most applications. It provides an auto-setup function which defines the hoist’s maximum hook load in seconds. With these control advancements, the drive no longer pauses for tests unless rated capacity is approached, providing increased productivity. provides a redundant hardware safety circuit that...
