JET JWS Series Web Strap Hoists, which come in single or double pull models with capacities of 1 or 1-1/2 tons, were designed with an isolated ratcheting gear, over-sized strap guide and bottom block assembly to guide the web strap smoothly onto the drum and prevent it from binding. A friction brake and double interlocking pawls allow for precise, micro-inching when lowering loads. The hoists feature an open housing design that allows quick cleaning and fast daily inspections. The JWS hoists have corrosion-resistant stainless steel springs, bronze bushings, drum shafts, self-lubricating bearings and drop-forged steel hooks, which rotate 360 degrees. The fiberglass handles of JWS hoists are built for rugged duty, and are tested and certified to withstand 15kV/1’ for one minute. The hoists’ 1:1 gear ratio requires minimal handle effort and provides up to 1-1/2” lifts per 45-degree handle stroke.
