Hoists are the weight lifters of materials handling. Their mechanical muscle power makes light work out of the tasks of lifting or lowering loads. They lift loads from hundreds of tons down to tens of pounds. A custom hoist safely handles 20 tons of molten metal, for example. Or a hoist simply raises, then lowers 15 lb machinery components repeatedly in a work cell so an operator readily performs assembly with little manual effort.
