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.
