2-Ton Model RR PKG 14

The Lodestar Electric Chain Hoist is a highly versatile materials handling device that can be used to lift loads that are within rated capacity. The mechanical features of these hoists include an alloy steel lift wheel, Load Protector, hardened steel chain guides, hardened steel gear train, life-time lubrication,
forged steel hooks and lightweight aluminum frame.
The electrical features include hoist-duty motor, rugged hoist brake, magnetic reversing contactor and voltage conversion board (dual voltage units). The hoist is available with hook or lug suspensions that are supplied separately. Table 1 summarizes the Lodestar Electric Chain Hoist models and the Series
635 Trolleys available. It should be noted that standard single speed hoists are available with 10 (3M), 15 (4.6M) and 20 (6.1M) foot lifts and the standard lift for two speeds hoists is
10 feet. However, hoists with longer lifts are available on a
special, per order basis.

CHECKING FOR TWIST IN LOAD CHAIN
Models E, H, E-2, H-2, R, RR, R-2 and RR-2
The best way to check for this condition is to run the lower
hook, without a load, up to within 24 inches (609 mm) of
hoist. If the dead end of the chain has been properly
installed, a twist can occur only if the lower hook block has
been capsized between the strands of chain. Reverse capsize
to remove twist.
Models RT, RT-2, RRT and RRT-2
On these models, the load chain is dead ended on top of the
lower hook block. If the chain has been properly installed,
the only way a twist can occur is if the lower hook block has
been capsized between the strands of chain. If this has
occurred, two strands of chain will be wrapped around each
other and to remove this, reverse the capsize.
