SHAW-BOX 800 Series wire rope hoists are ideally suited for virtually any lifting application of up to five tons. Their modular design and versatility provide a wide range of capacities,lifts, hoisting speeds, and control options, making it possible to selectthe most efficient hoist for the job without wasted capacity or overkill.

The compact design and closer end approaches of the standard 800 Series hoist allows an unsually high hook lift, as compared to many so-called low headroom hoists, without restorting to cesin comporomises. 800 Series hoist maximize hook coverage within an existing facility, reducing or eliminating the need for costly rebuilding or remodeling.

800 Series hoists are available in two basic models: single reeved and true vertical lift, with either air or electric power. The heavy-duty wire rope and drum-type hoist line has a steel mounting lug integral with the one-piece welded frame, and is desinged for stationay mounting from an overhead structure, or with any of our monorail trolley options. Standard featuresof this rugged hoist line include a heavy welded steel frame, powerful drive motor, totally enclosed oil bath lubricated drive train, and dual brake reliability.

Welded Steel Frame

One-piece welded frame, fabricated from rolled steel sections, precision machined far long life and accurate bearing and component alignment.

Automatic Load Brake

Weston selfadjusting type, operates in the oil bath of the hoist gear case for smooth lowering control. Capable of holding the load independent of the hoist motor brake.

Hoist Motor Brake

Short stroke, 150% torque spring-set D.C. rectified disc type brake provides quiet operation and long lift.

Lug Suspension

Permits the hoist to be mounted in a permanent location. (Mounting hardware not included}

Precision Machined Gearing

For uniform tooth mesh and large contact surface. Operates in a totally enclosed, oil bath lubricated gear case. Gear traim consist of two or three reductiom, using helical and/or spur gearing.

Machined Rope Drum

Large diameter welded comtruction -deep grooved and precision machined to give maximum rope life. Pictured is a right and left hand grooved true verticallifi drum.

Dead End Rope Anchor

Used on single reeved hoists. Easily accessibleand part of the one-piece weldedframe, it securely anchors the rope compression thimble fitting which is swagedto the rope end. True vertical lift hoistshave both end. of the steelrope dead endedto the rope drum.

Heavy-Duty Controls

Designed for a clean, open layout to maximize performance and ease of maintenance. Contactors are oversized for increased life. PaneL. are housed in a dust resistant compartment designed for easy accessand serviceability.

Shrouded Lower Block

Helps prevent fingers from being pinched between rope and sheaves and prevents dirt buildup. All hooks are provided with spring loaded safety latches.

Hoist Motors

High starting torque type, designed specificallylor hoisting, with permanently lubricated ball bearings. Motors are totally enclosed, non-ventilated (T.E.N.V.) with class F
insulation, and provided with an automatic reset,temperatureactuated switch in the windings to provide over current protection.

Block Operated Limit Switch

For additional protection of operator, hoist, and load. Positive acting, momentarily reverses the hoisting motion iflower block drifts too high.

Convenient Push-Button Control

All motiom can be controlled from a convenient, easy to operate push-button control station suspended from the hoist. An external strain reliever cable extends cable life and prevents pulling the control cable from the hoist electrical connection on four button and larger stations.
