The ShopAir Hoists are precision, air operated link type chain
hoists that are available in five rated capacities: 250, 300, 500
600 and 1000 pounds (113, 136, 226, 272 and 453 kg.). Each
unit is supplied with a pendant throttle control station for
controlling the lifting and lowering speeds and an upper latch
type hook for suspending the hoist from a fixed support or
trolley.
The basic design of the ShopAir consists of a lightweight,
rugged aluminum alloy frame which houses a vane type air
motor, hardened steel gears, hardened steel oblique lay
liftwheel, a disc type load brake and a muffler for quiet
operation. The gearing includes a Protector™ that is a
factory set clutch that prevents lifting dangerous overloads.
The lifting medium is alloy, hardened steel link type chain
and it connects the lower hook to the liftwheel. The hoists
with rated capacity of 250, 300 and 500 pounds (113, 136
and 226 kg.) are single reeved units whereas the units with
rated capacities of 500, 600 and 1000 pounds (226, 272 and
453 kg.) are double reeved units. The standard lift of each
capacity is 10 feet (3 meters) and units with longer lifts can
be provided on a special, per order basis.
The pendant throttle control is suspended from the hoist
frame so that the control levers are approximately four feet
(1.2 meters) above the lower hook when it is in its lowest
position. A unique, three tube hose is provided between the
throttle control and the hoist head to control the vane type air
motor and the lifting speed. The three tube hose includes an
internal, aircraft type wire rope to eliminate strain on the hose
connections at the throttle control and at the hoist head.
A quick connect type fitting is provided at the air inlet to easily
attach the hoist to the external air supply (refer to
INSTALLATION on page 3). At installation, there are no
adjustments to be made. Just connect the hoist to the external
air supply and the ShopAir Hoist is ready for operation.
REPAIR/REPLACEMENT POLICY
All Columbus McKinnon (CM
®
) ShopAir Chain Hoists are
inspected and performance tested prior to shipment. If any
properly maintained hoist develops a performance problem,
due to a material or workmanship defect, as verified by CM
®
,
repair or replacement of the unit will be made to the original
purchaser without charge. This repair/replacement policy
applies only to ShopAir Hoists installed, maintained and
operated as outlined in this manual, and specifically excludes
hoists subject to normal wear, abuse, improper installation,
improper or inadequate maintenance, hostile environmental
effects and unauthorized repairs/modifications.
We reserve the right to change materials or design if, in our
opinion, such changes will improve our product. Abuse,
repair by an unauthorized person, or use of non-CM
replacement parts voids the guarantee and could lead to
dangerous operation. For full Terms of Sale, see Sales
Order Acknowledgment. Also, refer to the back cover for
Limitations of Warranties, Remedies and Damages, and
Indemnification and Safe Operation.
Alterations or modification of hoist and use of non-
original repair parts can lead to dangerous operation
and injury.
TO AVOID INJURY:
• Do not alter or modify equipment.
• Do use only original replacement parts.
