Aro Loadleader Hoists

Aro rotary vane air hoists …the pioneer and still the leader in rotary vane air hoists. In the mid 50's, ARO introduced the first rotary vane air hoist, giving industry an alternative to expensive, high maintenance hand-winches, electric and air piston hoists. Some manufacturers have tried to duplicate Aro rotary vane air hoists. None have! Aro has continued to make advancements which keep Aro hoists outperforming other rotary vane air hoists while maintaining their inherent advantages over electric and piston hoists. These hoists are in stock for immediate delivery, or call us for a free catalog.

• Durable Performance for Long Service Life Put an ARO Loadleader air hoist in constant use, long lift, and maximum load capacity applications. It gives peak performance at the end of the day just as it did at day's start. It won't ever "kick out" due to overheating.
• Fast, Low Cost Maintenance Modular construction and a small number of moving parts keep a complete overhaul of an ARO air hoist to a minimum of time. Convenient ARO service kits contain the few number of inexpensive replacement parts frequently needed in an overhaul.
• Worker Confidence ARO has designed into its hoist features which allow your operators to lift with confidence. ARO hoists comply with applicable requirements of ANSI B30.16. An emergency limit stop prevents chain over-travel and shuts hoist off. Automotive type brake system holds load when air is shut off to motor. Load can be slowly lowered without air pressure to hoist.
• Compact for Low Headroom When there's no room for other types of hoists, chances are there will be for an ARO Loadleader Hoist.
• Easy Installation There is no comparison of an ARO rotary vane air hoists to electric and air piston hoists. ARO Loadleader air hoists are the lightweights. Lightweight to make installation quick and easy.
• First choice in industry: Suitable for high temperature*, corrosive, explosive atmospheres.
• • ARO rotary vane air motors are inherently self-cooling as they operate. This cooling effect keeps an ARO Loadleader Hoist at peak performance in high temperature environments such as foundries and forging plants. High temperature atmospheres can cause electric hoists to heat up and kick out, even in low use applications. *250 degrees Fahrenheit (121 degrees Celsius) or less.
  • Many of the components used to construct electric hoists are very sensitive to corrosive atmospheres, such as plating tanks or outdoors.
  • An ARO rotary vane air motor is inherently non-sparking. Bronze hooks and stainless steel chain can further reduce the hazard of sparks in a volatile environment.
• Full Operator Control for Increased Productivity The faster a load can be lifted, moved, and accurately spotted, the more productive the operator will be. An ARO Loadleader Hoist gives the operator complete control of the hoist's performance to quickly lift and precisely locate the load.
• • Automotive type brake system holds load when air supply to hoist is accidentally or intentionally shut off. Brake can quickly be adjusted to the application's load range.
  • Pressure pendent or pull chain puts complete control of hoist performance in the hand of the operator. Hoist responds immediately to operator's "inching" commands.
• Fast Load Handling The ARO rotary vane air motor and gearing combine to give one of the fastest lift speeds available.
• Reduced Operating Costs ARO air motors are highly efficient. Gearing ratios have been precisely calculated to yield low hoist air consumption per foot of lift.
• Responsive Hoist Performance Air pressure extends motor blades the instant operator gives lift command. Extends them so that peak performance of hoist is immediately available.
• Quiet, Clean Environment Air exhaust can be piped to remote location for those applications where circumstances require.
• Maximum Host Performance Two stage filtration removes foreign matter from air supply so motor operates at peak performance and prolongs life of air motor.
• Maximum Operator Control Two stage filtration removes foreign matter from air supply so motor operates at peak performance and prolongs life of air motor.
• Proper Hoist Speed for Application Lift and descent maximum speeds can be adjusted to desired rate.
• Job Matched Performance Numerous options allow hoist to be matched to specific application requirements. Link or roller load chain. Hook, manual or power trolley mounted. Pull chain or pendent control. Standard or spark resistant models. ¼, ½, 1 and 2 ton capacities.
• Long Hoist Life Cast housing and heavy gauge brake cap protect hoist's working parts.
