US based Oz Lifting Products has introduced a wireless remote control option for its electric chain and wire rope hoists.
The chain hoists have capacities of between 230kg and 1,800kg while the wire rope hoist range– which the company refers to as builder’s hoists – runs from 230kg to 450kg.

The wireless control adapter can be ordered with a new hoist or as a retrofit kit for those who already own an Oz hoist. The wireless controler offers a 76 metre line of sight range.
Sales manager, Richard Miller said: “The wireless options give the user greater flexibility, without the limitation of where the hoists can be operated. We have offered other wirelessly controlled hoists in the past and have always had success with them. We feel that both of these styles of hoist will be popular with a wireless option.”

“Wireless use is favourable when the operator is trying to operate the hoist from a longer distance away or in an area where it is hard to run a traditional, wired pendant. The wireless option gives the user more flexibility and freedom while making the lift, whether they are sourcing a new lifting product or buying an adapter to fit to an existing hoist. The plug-and-play adapters can be installed in minutes; there is no wiring.”
Headquartered in Winona, Minnesota, and established in 2005, Oz Lifting manufactures lifting products and solutions operating within construction, oil & gas, aviation and mining.
