Powerful Additional Gear Box for the SILVERLINE HZ S Hoist from Pfaff-silberblau

Friedberg, Germany, and Paris, France, March 7, 2006 - At Manutention 2006 (7 - 10 March 2006 in Paris, France), Pfaff-silberblau Hebezeugfabrik GmbH & Co. KG of Derching/Friedberg, Germany, is presenting its SILVERLINE HZ S ratchet lever hoist with an additional new high-performance gear box. That new all-purpose lever hoist with capacity 300 kg (660 lbs.) has been designed and developed to grant the users with its fantastic ergonomics and gear drive that only needs minimum on efforts when lifting the load. At the same time, integrating the additional gear drive has increased the breaking reliabilityof this well-proven ratchet lever hoist, which can be used so flexibly for mounting and production tasks and in warehouse operations. The reengineered SILVERLINE HZ S has retained its familiar compact construction, which makes handling the device simple and safe, even in close quarters. The reliable quality that marks this popular ratchet lever hoist from Pfaff-silberblau's line up of products also remains unchanged: With characteristics such as the solid sheet-steel housing with a short ratchet lever, the galvanized chain with a chain guide as well as the asbestos-free brake disc, the SILVERLINE HZ S is not only very easy to use, it also ensures a long service life. At Manutention 2006, Pfaff-silberblau will also be presenting a series of other reengineered products from its versatile range of offerings in the area of lifting and materials handling technology. These products include the robust PROLINE HZ PRO ratchet lever hoist, the smooth-running PROLINE P 90 pulley block, the powerful HU 10-XE high-lift pallet truck, the maneuverable EGU 15 P electric pallet truck and the redesigned SILVERLINE electric chain hoist.
