Air hoists provide advantages over electric models such as infinitely variable speed control, higher duty cycles, smaller size, and inherent explosion proof* design. Disadvantages are louder operation and larger hoists require a substantial volume of air from a large compressor to operate.

Air hoists can be equipped with two different control types. Pendants provide more precise load control where pull cords provide lower initial investment.
