True Freewheel

The freewheel mode of the Red Beast lever hoist is designed to enhance operational efficiency and safety by disengaging the drive mechanism. Unlike other styles that may accidentally re-engage the unit, the freewheel mode prevents frustration and interruptions while setting the load chain length. This feature ensures that the hoist remains in the desired mode until intentionally changed by the operator, eliminating the need to constantly return to the unit to release the brakes. By providing a seamless and controlled lifting experience, the freewheel mode on the Red Beast lever hoist enhances productivity and minimizes downtime, making it an invaluable tool for professionals in various industries.

We’ll showcase the versatile freewheel mode of the Red Beast lever hoist in lifting operations.”

Freewheel Activation:
To activate the freewheel mode, follow these simple steps:

  1. Step one: Move the direction selector into the neutral position.
  2. Step two: Pull the wheel knob away from the body. This disengages the internal mechanism, allowing the chain to roll freely upward and downward.”

 

Freewheel Mechanism Explanation:
Notice that attempting to push the knob straight in won’t work. The internal mechanism is purposely offset about 1/3 of a turn to prevent accidental engagement during this operation.

 

Reengaging the Lever:
To reengage the lever, follow these steps:

  1. Stop the chain from moving by holding both lines of chain together.
  2. Turn the knob clockwise until it engages the hoist.

Now, the hoist is ready for operation. Use the direction lever to choose the desired lifting direction.”

Alternative Method for Reengagement:
Alternatively, if there’s a load on the hook:

  1. Tighten the load chain until it stops the chain from moving.
  2. Roll the wheel knob until it drops into gear.

Again, use the direction lever to select the desired lifting direction.”

With its user-friendly freewheel mode and safety features, the Red Beast lever hoist ensures smooth and controlled lifting operations, making it the preferred choice for professionals in various industries.”

I spoke with the Installation Foreman where we are using the lever hoists. The project is the 60 storey tower Butterfly in Vancouver. Our installers are generally very hard on equipment, they are not the best at looking after and maintaining it. The hoists have stood up well to all the abuse we have thrown at them. They have been used in all weather conditions with out any issues. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable lever hoist.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our lever hoists. We greatly appreciate your feedback and are thrilled to hear that you are satisfied with our product. Your review helps us improve and continue providing high-quality equipment to our valued customers. We look forward to serving you again in the future. Thanks for choosing our RED BEAST lever hoists!
