Wind Turbine Maintenance Hoists
With wind energy as one of the fastest growing sectors of renewable energy
technologies, Ace Industries distributes hoists specially modified for extreme
long lifts and have been redesigned to create compact and rugged service hoists
for the wind energy industry.
CM Lodestar and Shopstar Wind Edition have been remodeled specifically for
use as a service and maintenance hoist for wind turbines. Both with designs to
withstand the application and environment, can lift parts and equipment from the
ground to the nacelle with no interruption and minimal chain vibration, CM says.
Coffing EC-HL Models are designed to exceed the requirements needed for the
exceptional lifting ranges for Wind Turbine Maintenance. The EC-HL has a
specially designed motor configuration that allows the unit to lift 100 percent
of capacity at the extended run times needed to cover the height of the tower.

In both models, heavy-duty motors are designed to allow for uninterrupted
operation and longer life. The hoists also use both a load brake and
electro-dynamic brake, which eliminates the heat generated by typical designs
and increases the life of hoist parts. Lifetime grease lubrication eliminates
the need to drain and change oil and provides superior protection to the gears,
CM adds, and opening or disassembling the hoist for inspection or maintenance
requires no special tools.
