Product Overview
In short
The Bison Lifting 1/2 Ton Three Phase Electric Hoist is engineered for demanding industrial material handling in manufacturing facilities and assembly lines. It efficiently lifts loads up to 1,000 pounds, featuring dual voltage capability (230v/460v) for versatile power integration. Its compact, die-cast aluminum body ensures a low headroom profile, optimizing space and simplifying installation, while an integrated friction clutch provides overload protection.

Reliable 1/2 Ton Three Phase Electric Hoist for Industrial Use

The Bison Lifting 1/2 Ton Three Phase Hoist is engineered for demanding industrial material handling applications, offering robust performance and precise control. Designed to efficiently lift loads up to 1,000 pounds, this hoist is ideal for manufacturing facilities, workshops, and assembly lines requiring consistent, heavy-duty operation. A standout feature is its dual voltage capability, easily adjustable between 460v and 230v, providing versatile power integration. Its compact, die-cast aluminum body ensures both a low headroom profile and a lightweight construction, optimizing space and simplifying installation in various overhead lifting setups.

Constructed with durability in mind, the hoist's aluminum body not only contributes to its low profile but also enhances its resistance to harsh industrial environments, suitable for temperatures from -4° to +104° F. Safety is paramount, featuring an integrated friction clutch for overload protection, preventing operators from exceeding the rated capacity. Mechanical paddle upper and lower limit switches ensure safe travel limits, while the pull-rotor motor brake firmly holds loads without relying on a disc brake. The ergonomic pendant control, complete with a mainline contactor and emergency stop button, provides intuitive and secure operation, delivering reliable value for critical lifting tasks.

Key Features:

  • Dual Voltage Operation: Factory-wired for 460v, easily adjustable to 230v for flexible power supply integration.
  • Overload Protection: Integrated friction clutch prevents lifting beyond the hoist's rated capacity, enhancing safety.
  • Compact Aluminum Body: Die-cast construction ensures a low headroom design and lightweight profile for versatile installation.
  • Pull-Rotor Motor Brake: Provides superior mechanical force to securely hold loads without a disc brake mechanism.
  • Upper/Lower Limit Switches: Mechanical paddle switches prevent the load chain from exceeding safe operational limits.
  • Ergonomic Pendant Control: Modern design includes a mainline contactor and a red emergency stop button for intuitive and safe operation.
  • Wide Operating Conditions: Suitable for environments ranging from -4° to +104° F with recommended humidity of 85% or less.
  • Low Headroom Design: Maximizes available lifting height in spaces with limited overhead clearance.
  • Lightweight Construction: Facilitates easier installation and relocation compared to heavier units.

FAQ about this model

How much weight can this hoist lift?

It is rated for 1/2 ton, which is 1,000 lbs. That rating is the maximum working load, so add up the weight of the load plus any rigging, slings, or below-hook attachments and keep the total under 1,000 lbs. If your loads routinely approach or exceed that figure, choose a higher-capacity model instead of running this one at its limit.

What electrical supply does it need?

It requires a three phase supply and is dual voltage, wired for either 230v or 460v. Single phase shop power will not run it, so confirm you have three phase service at the installation point before ordering. Because it accepts both 230v and 460v, the same unit suits most industrial buildings, but the voltage must be set to match your incoming supply.

What protects the hoist and load if something goes wrong?

Three systems: an integrated friction clutch for overload protection, mechanical paddle limit switches at the upper and lower travel points, and a pull-rotor motor brake that holds the load when the motor stops. The pendant also includes an emergency stop. Together these guard against lifting beyond capacity, over-travel at either end of the chain, and uncontrolled lowering.

Where can this hoist be installed?

It is rated for an operating temperature range of -4° to +104° F and a recommended humidity of 85% or less. That covers most indoor production areas, warehouses, and unheated shops in cold climates. Very humid environments, wash-down areas, or applications outside that temperature band call for a hoist specified for those conditions rather than this one.

How is it operated?

Operation is by an ergonomic pendant control with an emergency stop, hanging from the hoist within reach of the operator. This is a 1 speed unit, so the hoist raises and lowers at a single fixed rate with no slow-speed setting. If your work requires fine positioning or a creep speed for precise load placement, a two speed hoist is the better fit.

What is included with the hoist and what warranty does it carry?

The hoist ships with the pendant control and carries a 12 month warranty. The body is die-cast aluminum, which keeps the unit lighter than a comparable steel-bodied hoist while housing the motor, brake, and clutch. Mounting hardware, trolleys, and the supporting beam or structure are separate items and are not part of the hoist itself.
