Swiss manufacturer GIS has unveiled the latest addition to its range of GP electric chain hoists, the GPM.

The 14kg hoist is suitable for portable use, which is often found in the entertainment industry, can lift loads from 80kg to 250kg both safely and reliably.

Featuring a helically geared, 3-step drive, the quiet-running GPM has a long-working life and is suited for outdoor use thanks to its standard protection class IP65.

Hidden inside the chain hoist are shaft-hub connections that built to a polygonal design, which is claimed to his enable "significantly faster disassembly and reassembly" during maintenance.

The GPM hoists can be specified with a range of accessories with the user able to choose between eye or hook suspension. Lifting height can be increased up to 90 metres, if required.
