There are many reasons for using JDN-hoists.

They are for instance standard built forapplication in areas where there is a risk of explosion. Explosion proof requirements are especially high on drill platforms. For this reason increased sparking protection is possible as an optional extra. JDN-pneumatic hoists are available with carrying capacities from 0,1 to 100 tons.
