All of the hoists are fitted with a special patented clutch/brake system, which prevents load slip.

The new range of hoists has no comparison around the globe today.

The hoist range, which is 125kg to 25tonnes, is designed for heavy duty usage and are extremely maintenance free.

The initial Design of the Liftket Hoist has shown the change to Low Headroom Hoists by placing the motor and the gear on one horizontal level, the first electric chain hoist on the market to do this.

The list of Optional Extras is quite extensive. All Liftket Hoists are available with either direct or low voltage control; many can be fitted with encoders, electromechanical load sensors, double brakes and variable speed controls.

Adjustable Mobile Gantry installed at Government Research Centre

Harrison Fabrication Lifting Limited recently designed, manufactured, delivered to site, erected and tested an Adjustable Mobile Gantry that is fitted with a Liftket Electric Chain Hoist.

The site is located in the East Midlands and is a Funded Government Research Centre.

The Adjustable Mobile Gantry is fitted with two hand winches, so the gantry can be raised and lowered quickly and smoothly. When the gantry has reached it's correct height there are two pins, one either side of the lifting beam, which the pins locate into holes in the "A" Frames.

The safe working load of the gantry is 2000kg, with a lifting height of 4metres, and a dimension between the "A" Frames of 3.5metres.

The gantry has an adjustable height, so the it can be moved from one room to another. The closed height is low enough to enable the gantry to go through low height doors.

12tonne Crane Bridge Loaded on a Trailer and on Route to Essex

The 12 tonne Double Girder Crane Bridge, which we have been fabricated for the last few weeks, was loaded on a Trailer on Saturday Morning.

Double Girder Crane Bridge Testing

Double Girder Crane Bridge Testing

Having recently received an order for 12 tonne Double Girder Crane Bridge, with a span of 15350mm, we decided to test the Crane Bridge for deflection with a Hydraulic Pump and Cylinder. We converted the PSI reading on the gauge of the pump to a KG force reading.

Double Girder Crane Bridge

Double Girder Crane Bridge

Harrison Fabrication Lifting Limited was recently asked to convert two 6.3 tonne crane bridges, to lift 15 tonne by fitting a Double Girder Crane Bridge between them. The Crane Bridge was fitted onto the existing crane bridges with a 50 x 30mm rail welded on top of each bridge. The 15 tonne Double Girder Crane Bridge, fitted with two speed end carriages, was then positioned on the two 6.3 tonne crane bridges. The two 6.3 tonne crane bridges were connected together with a bar at each end, to make sure they were always at the same span. A Kuli 15 tonne wire rope hoist was fitted to the Double Girder Crane Bridge. Both 6.3 tonne crane bridges have Liftket hoist fitted them and they can be used as normal, although the two crane bridges are a fixed position from each other.
