Look to Shepard Niles for the best hot metal hoist value around, built right here in the USA. Unique two-stage heat-treated planetary gearing allows loads to be divided among three gears, extending bearing life and hoist dependability. Motor brakes are forced air-cooled for superior heat dissipation, with external adjustability to minimize maintenance downtime. Multiple disc mechanical load brake delivers superior load control with the largest brake surface and lowest PSI in the industry. Shepard Niles hoist motors are rated at 60 minutes for more starts per hour.Visit Shepard Niles: Casting Congress Booth 215.
