electric chain hoists
– Milestones on the way
to success
1952 1954 1955 1956 1966 The new generation: starting from 125 kg
The initial design of the LIFTKET has shown the change to low The well established LIFTKET at a glance
headroom hoists by placing the motor and the gear on one horizon-
tal level as the first electric chain hoist on the market. The LIFKET
was the first chain hoist to introduce the special patented clutch-
• precision sprocket wheel with five or
brake system with no chance of a load slip if the clutch is damaged six pockets
or worn. The perfection of the STAR LIFKET clutch-brake system
has no camparison around the globe today. • cylindrical motor built into the fully
enclosed casing
• lightweight aluminium casing
• heat treated helical gears made from
high quality steel
• low maintenance DC-disk brake
• patented safety clutch-brake system with
asbestos free linings

Version 1/00A –9.1/00S
Basic version ... with top hook ... with electric trolley or push trolley
Version 13/00X
Basic version ... with top hook ... with electric trolley or push trolley
Counter weights might be required for double speed
trolleys for special combinations of load capacity,
flange width and type of control.
Please note:
• Power supply 400 V, 3 ph, 50 Hz
• Insolation class F
• Different voltage and frequency options available on request
• Hoist weight will increase by approximatly 2 kg if low voltage control is required
• The hoist weight has been calculated for 3 m height of lift
• Control cable 1.5 m supplied as standard
• Height of lift 3.0 m supplied as standard
• Different heights of lift and control cable lengths available on request
• If heights of lift increases beyond 20 m, SWL (Safe Working Load) has to be reduced
by the weight of the chain
• Low voltage control will be supplied as standard on version 8.1/9.1 and 13

LIFTKET-monorail
and light crane system
The LIFTKET-monorail profiles are available made from
either S235JR material (standard steel) or 1.4301
material (stainless steel except type 600 and 700).
Standard steel profiles are in stock with black surface
or galvanised. The max. length of each profile is 6000
mm. Please note, when planning the system: The max.
load per meter of monorail has to be checked, especially
for buffer sections of the monorail system.
• Easy to install, using standard
Monorail profile 300 – 700
fastener sets
• A great variety of special parts
available, including curved
rails, turntables, switches,
single and double girder
crane bridges and fastening
equipment
• Taylor made solutions available
• Galvanised or black finish
available
• Once the system has been
installed it can be upgraded or
extended at any time * Capacity per meter with a suspension distance 1 m
