According to the manufacturer: “The portable unit will be useful at worksites undertaking duct installation, general maintenance tasks, or any engineering jobs requiring the lifting and movement of lightweight loads.”
It will also have a place in many other production areas as diverse as cement, chemicals and food production, together with foundries, refineries and sawmills, it added.
The new CX model has a headroom dimension of 217mm and builds on the success of Kito’s LX series.
The unit has been designed to be one of the smallest and lightest chain hoists available on the market, with a total weight of 2.4kg for a hoist with a standard 2.5m lift.
“With a grade 100 nickel electroless plated load chain and a hand chain manufactured from SUS304, the highest levels of corrosion and wear resistance are guaranteed,” Kito added.
