0.6 Operational parameters

Electric chain hoists of the series TS are hoists of differing load capacities. They can be installed as stationary or mobile units. Electric chain
hoists are manufactured in accordance with the latest technical developments and recognised safety standards, and are tested for safe operation
by the manufacturer.
Electric chain hoists are approved by various international institutes such as BG and others.
Electric chain hoists of the above series may only be used when in an acceptable technical condition, in accordance with their operating
