Air Chain Hoists  

Air hoists provide many advantages when compared to electric powered hoists. They provide infinitely variable speed control and high duty cycles that often approach continuous use. Air hoists are generally smaller in size than electric versions and are inherently explosion proof* due to the lack of electrical components. Disadvantages of air hoists are that they provide extra noise and sometimes require expensive air compressors to provide the correct air pressure and volume required. Here are a few general things to consider when selecting the proper air hoist or you can click here for more Ace tips on air hoist selection.
