Dual Brake Air Hoist

Air Chain Hoists with Dual Redundant Brakes

Shupper-Brickle Equipment combines over 50 years of hoist and crane industry experience with a full-service engineering department to offer customized services and equipment, including a dual brake air hoist. We modify a manufacturer-standard air chain hoist to add a second brake for applications with the highest safety standards. There are many available electric chain hoists with a second brake, but this product is our unique modification to equip air hoists with dual redundant holding brakes. 

Benefits of a Dual Brake Air Hoist

Air-chain hoists are built to withstand high duty cycles and challenging environmental conditions offering many benefits for a variety of applications. Adding a second brake can provide even more benefits including:

• Dual Brake Air Hoists are ideal for use under conditions where critical lifts are required and dropping a load is not an option. 

• Air motors are sealed against dust, moisture, and corrosive gases, where external air is kept out by internal pressure. 

• Air motors will never overheat due to continual air flow through the motor. They perform well in high temperature environments and in high duty cycle applications. 

• Spark resistant models are available for hazardous locations, such as chemical and petrochemical industries.
  
  
• Precise, variable controls make load placement easy.
  
  
• Dual redundant brakes ensure maximum safety by providing a secondary braking system should the primary brake fail.

Upgrade Your Hoist with Shupper-Brickle’s Engineering Services

Our custom engineering services can supply you with an air chain hoist with a dual redundant holding brake for enhanced air hoist safety.

The standard model of this hoist is available in capacities of 1/2-Ton, 1-Ton, 2-Ton, and 3-Ton. The spark-resistant model is available in capacities of 1/2-T, 1-Ton and 2-Tons. Shupper-Brickle can upgrade any of these models with a second brake.

Since 1969, Shupper-Brickle has provided hoists and overhead crane engineering to to the Mid-Atlantic States and worldwide.
