Transportable Pneumatic Hoists

JDN-PROFI with lifting capacities of 100 kg to 100000 kg for shipbuilding and ships

Even the mightiest JDN Pneumatic Hoists handling 151, 251, 501 and 1001 can be easily relocated as, when and where needed (for fitting rudders, propellers, shafts).

JDN Pneumatic Hoists have infinitely variable controls - going from snail's pace to full speed.

All JDN Pneumatic Hoists are explosion proof. (Air makes no sparks.)

That's why JDN Pneumatic Hoists with capacities from 100 kg to 1001 are increasingly being installed both outboard and inboard.

And getting along on only 6 bar air pressure.
