PNEUMATIC HOISTS
Pneumatic hoists are used more occasionally than manual or electric hoists. Levage Manutention offers you a category of pneumatic hoists adapted to the lifting of heavy loads and will help you to use this type of hoist.
Mobile cranes, ideal for indoor use. The mobile jib crane can lift loads ranging from 150 kg to 500 kg with a radius of action of around two metres. The mobile jib crane can be moved by means of all-terrain wheels, which allow it to move on any type of ground. The most commonly used model is the mobile jib crane with a triangular boom with a hollow profile that adapts to workshop conditions.
Drum cranes are the most common cranes, especially in the industrial sector. This type of crane is designed to move very heavy loads of up to several tonnes. They can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications. The jib crane is fixed with chemical anchors or with anchor rods and concrete blocks. The jib cranes are available with a triangular or inverted jib with a rotation range of 270° to 360° and a reach of up to 9 metres.
The wall-mounted jib cranes are equipped with a triangular or inverted jib, which reduces the headroom. The wall-mounted jib crane has the option of being motorised or manual with a 180° rotation. The wall-mounted jib cranes are suitable for individual use and avoid clutter in the work area. The lifting capacity of this type of jib crane ranges from 150kg to 4 tonnes with a standard reach of up to 8000mm.
To choose the right jib crane for your lifting application, you need to:
Know the environment in which you want to install your jib crane. This will allow you to choose between a fixed jib crane, a mobile jib crane or a wall-mounted jib crane.

Pneumatic hoists can be used for various lifting applications such as automotive, aerospace, chemical and other industries. Unlike some types of hoists, using an air hoist gives you more safety because the compressed air in the hoist does not cause sparks. These hoists are light, compact and easy to install.
Some air hoists can be controlled remotely by a handle with an emergency stop. Air hoist motors are designed for heavy duty use. Air hoists are suitable for lifting loads ranging from 125 KG to 500KG.
To choose the right air hoist for your lifting operation, you must :
- Know the environment in which the lifting application is being carried out to ensure that the use of an air hoist is suitable.
- Know the maximum useful lifting capacity of the load (MLC)
- Know the desired speed, either 1 speed or 2 speeds
- Determine the useful chain length for your hoist
- Finally, the choice of lifting accessories to accompany your hoist is also necessary to create a suitable lifting solution
