NEW STREET CX CHAIN HOISTS
FOR HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY
New high performance chain hoists covering the 0.25 tonnes to two
tonnes range have been introduced by Street Crane. Hoists in this category are the workhorses of light
engineering and Street's CX package promises low lifetime cost and exceptional performance making it a
strong challenger.
Precision engineered to give superior levels of safety, reliability and productivity; the CX series will meet the needs of many applications. For fixed position lifting eye suspension units are offered together with CX trolley units for powered or push travel when attached to overhead cranes, jib cranes or monorails. All models have streamlined cases to IP55 making them ideal for use indoors or outdoors.
Safety features include fail-safe DC disc brakes, asbestos free linings, foolproof plug-in electrical connections and overload protection. Precision manufacture of components such as the chain guide and hardened and ground involute helical gears, in a gear assembly permanently immersed in oil, promote maintenance-free long life. Brakes, for example, are designed for one million full load cycles before the need for the first adjustment. Productivity is promoted by features such as dual speed 2/8 pole motors, precision calibrated high strength chains and durable brake/clutch linings.
Where components do require replacement, or the hoist needs upgrading, new components are easy to install, because of the modular design, so the hoist is quickly returned to service. Customisation to site conditions is also possible. Motors are available for 50Hz or 60Hz operation in a range of voltages. Chain lengths are variable to suit the application and users have the option of fixed position or variable hoist limit switches.
The CX from Street Crane is just one in a complete range of hoists to meet needs up to 100 tonnes. All feature advanced engineering for greater safety reliability and efficiency. Modularity ensures the flexibility to meet individual needs while series production - to meet the expanding needs of customers world-wide - ensures a competitive product of high quality.

Additional note for editors
The introduction of the CX chain hoist, launched at Promat, Chicago on February 12, is the second stage in Street's strategy to offer a complete range of pre-engineered hoists from 0.25 tonnes to 100 tonnes. The new CX series covers needs up to two tonnes. The ZX range, introduced three years ago, meets needs up to 25 tonnes. The soon to be announced TVX will meet needs up to 100 tonnes. This will enable Street to meet the needs of independent crane builders who require a full range of advanced, series built quality hoists.
In parallel with this the company will offer its trade partners a software package to give price and technical data for all standard hoists up to 100 tonnes. Managing director Andrew Pimblett explained, "We aim to be a complete one-stop-shop, having grown our hoist sales by 50 percent in the last year we aim to grow by a similar amount in 2001."
