Unique hoist safety
Siguren claims a multitude of previous hoist safety concerns have now been solved by its MotoSuiveur mechanical hoist safety device, distributed in the UK exclusively by SCX Special Projects.
According to SCX, the MotoSuiveur’s technology will never allow a free-fall condition to develop in the event of a hoist drive or gearbox failure, instead bringing the load to a safe stop within 30° of angular drum rotation; typically within just 30mm of hook movement.
Incorporating a worm and wheel drive mounted directly to the hoist drum, the product operates in an open loop configuration so that it simply ‘follows’ the rotation of the hoist barrel. In the event of any unexpected acceleration or movement it will lock the worm and wheel assembly. The patented function of the MotoSuiveur then allows the worm to translate into a hydraulic damping chamber, absorbing the impact force, protecting the hoist structure and keeping the load stable.
