Smart Brake Technology

The ER2‘s Guardian Smart Brake has an electrical fail-safe design that uses DC current to control brake activation. The fast activation drastically reduces wear on the brake discs, preserving the correct brake gap. The result is a maintenance-free braking system with a 10-year/2,000,000 activation cycle warranty.

EXTREME-DUTY TEFC MOTOR

Equipped with thermal overload protection and cooling fins on all four sides of the motor housing, the ER2's totally enclosed fan-cooled motor (TEFC) efficiently dissipates heat, allowing for industry-leading duty ratings.

State-Of-The-Art Chain Technology

The ER2 uses Kito’s world-class, super-strength chain. Its shorter and narrower link profile allows for greater surface area contact, giving it better wear resistance and overall tensile strength.

VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE

Kito’s 220 V and 440 V two-speed hoists come with a standard "under-the-cover" variable frequency drive. This device works by varying the power to the motor, allowing you to adjust both the high and low speeds. The VFD also adds soft-start/soft-stop operation to reduce shock loads, swing and bounce, giving you more precise load control and increasing the life of the hoist.

Count Hour Meter

The count hour meter records the hoist’s starts and run time. This gives maintenance personnel an accurate record of the hoist's operating profile, letting them customize its maintenance schedule to optimize the hoist’s life and improve workplace safety.
