Features and Benefits

Alloy Steel for Added Durability
Gears and pinions are alloy steel, machine cut, heat-treated and mounted on heavy-duty roller bearings. Precision formed alloy steel load chain runs in a reversible 5 or 6 pocket load sheave.
Rugged, Lightweight Design
Standard construction features include a lightweight steel frame, heavy duty steel covers, ball bearing supported load shaft and a durable, efficient, grease lubricated planetary gear train.
Smooth, Trouble-free Operation
Load and hand chain guides assure smooth, trouble-free operation.
Precision Load Handling
A fast acting Weston Style brake provides smooth, positive load handling.
Mechanically-sealed, Grease-tight Enclosure
Heavy steel housings keep out most foreign material, protecting precision-machined working parts. Sealed enclosure keeps lubrication in, making the Chester Zephyr a lifetime-lubricated hoist under normal conditions. No protruding parts prevent snagging.
Durable Internal Gears, Pinions & Pinion Shafts
Internal gears and pinions are made of nickel-chromemolybdenum alloy steel. Internal gear is heat treated for durability and strength. Machine-cut teeth are heat treated and mounted on heavy-duty roller bearings. Gear and pinion shafts are made of rigidly mounted alloy steel and are surface hardened and ground.
Flexible and Adaptable
The Zephyr design is easily adaptable to meet the special requirements of most applications.
Load Wheel
Heat-treated cast steel with spline fit to load shaft. Chain pockets are accurately formed, and load wheel can be reversed when new chain is installed to effect double life.
Shock Resistant
Stamped covers made of heavy-gauge steel, two rolled steel sections in the frame and strong alloy steel suspension provide durability and shock resistance.
Easy Dismantling
Using only a small wrench and screwdriver, operators can make periodic inspections or replace chains and parts with ease.
Top Hook Assembly
Permits hoist to rock and swivel under load. Alloy crosshead rocks in rolled steel straps welded to frame. Alloy hook is heat treated. Drop-forged alloy steel hook will open before fracturing.
