Aero-Lift introduces new hoist

By Janice Wood · June 19, 2011 ·

ARM Aerospace, a provider of aircraft lift technology for private hangars, now offers the “SNER” Series Aero-Lift, a two–ton capacity single fall chain hoist.

Available at the same price as the original “EF” Model, the new design was displayed for the first time at the Alaska Airmen’s show in Anchorage.

The new SNER Series Aero-Lift hoist is larger, carries more horsepower and features a new brake design, according to company officials. In addition, the hoist can be wired to either 220 volts or 115 volts out of the box without replacing controls (contactors and transformers), officials add. The brake’s tapered, spring-loaded design allows for self-adjusting that acts through the magnetism of the motor. It carries a 10-year warranty.

The EF Model Series Aero-Lift includes the patented pull rotor self-seating and self-adjusting braking system. It is specially manufactured for ARM Aerospace to run at 110 volts and draw less than 15 amps at startup, while still maintaining appropriate torque, horsepower and safe lifting speed, according to company officials, who noted thiswas done to accommodate older hangars where a larger power capacity is often not available.

Arm Aerospace has been making the Aero-Lift for 10 years. The Aero-Lift is a 2,500-pound capacity lift that allows hangar owners to double their hangar space by storing one aircraft above the other.
