ALIMAK Hek has introduced two new construction hoists at Bauma China.

The Alimak SC 65/32 and SC 45/30 are available in single or dual car configuration. Both new hoist models offer payloads of 2,000 kg per car, and car sizes 1.5 x 3.2 m and 1.4 x 3.0 m.

The hoists are available with either DOL (direct-on-line) or FC (frequency control) drive via a helical gearbox system. They are designed to offer quality, high-strength materials for low energy consumption, improved running efficiency and less wear, said the manufacturer. 

Engineered in Sweden and manufactured in China, the new models have undergone a series of rigorous safety and quality tests. Driven by a high-efficiency helical gearbox, the Alimak SC 65/32 and SC 45/30 offer increased hoist power, smooth operation and energy efficiency, added the manufacturer.

“We are big believers in keeping the TCO (total cost of ownership), as low as possible,” said Pepe Olguin, head of construction at Alimak Hek Group AB. “With the new construction hoist developments, we aim to widen our product offerings in the Brics markets.”

Also on the Alimak stand was the latest modular Alimak construction hoist system, the modular Hek medium range mast climbing work platforms, light range transport platforms, as well as a new service elevator.

Bauma China 2014 took place from November 25 – 28 in Shanghai.
