How can you protect a hoist outside?
Hoists used and stored outdoors face a range of difficulties from exposure to the elements. Ice, snow, rain and condensation can cause electrical components to short-circuit as well as motors, limit switches, pendants and control enclosures to fill with water and corrode.
To ensure the operation and protect of your outdoor hoisting equipment, a Hoist Shelter provides necessary protection from precipitation and sunlight.

How do you determine what size Hoist Shelter you need?
As a rule for sizing, a Hoist Shelter should cover one to two feet in each direction around the hoist to allow for weather protection as well as adequate air circulation.
A model #HS3030 Hoist Shelter is suited to cover and protect an electric chain hoist, such as an R&M electric chain hoist or a Budgit electric chain hoist.

Our outdoor hoist shelters provide an economical and effective form of protection for hoists kept outside from the negative effects of the weather. Benefits of using one of our hoist shelters to protect your outdoor hoisting equipment include:
