Air hoists, or pneumatic hoists, are ideal explosion-proof lifting equipment, mainly used in high-explosive dust environments such as petroleum, chemical, coal mines, textiles, and other situations where explosion-proof requirements are needed. As an upgraded alternative to electric hoists, air hoists operate efficiently with minimal energy consumption, requiring only compressed air at a specified pressure for operation. Air hoists are equipped with air-cut protection, which ensures that the workpiece does not descend or fall in case of sudden loss of air pressure. Additionally, these hoists can be paired with various non-standard lifting fixtures to accommodate workpieces of different shapes. They can also be used in conjunction with jib cranes or guide rails for mobility, making them essential tools for promoting safety and cost-effectiveness in industrial operations. ATO Automation Store offers air chain hoists with specifications ranging from 300 lb 10 ft to 2000 lb 20 ft, providing flexibility to meet diverse lifting needs.

The hoist is a compound sliding horse used to lift objects to a relatively low height, commonly known as a "chain block", and is a mechanical device used to lift and lower heavy objects. And the hoist is a small lifting tool with simple structure and convenient carrying. It is particularly convenient to use it in temporary chains and mobile locations, such as factories, mines, construction sites, docks, warehouses, etc., to lift small equipment and carry out equipment installation and repair work. There are various classification methods for hoists based on different product characteristics and application scenarios.
