Taurus Lever Hoists South Africa: Medium Duty

Taurus lever hoists are medium-duty hoists ergonomically designed for maximum output efficiency and safe operation, and fitted with an OLL (overload limiter). These portable lifting devices are used in factories, mines, farms, construction sites, wharves, docks and warehouses for a wide variety of lifting and materials handling operations. Capacities range from 0.75 ton to 9 ton.

Toco Lifting supplies Taurus lever hoists from 0.75 ton to 9 ton across South Africa and the SADC region, models HSH-0.75 through HSH-9. Taurus is a medium duty range that gives sites a dependable, lower cost lever hoist for ratcheting, tensioning and confined space work. Taurus lever hoists comply with SANS 1636 and are fitted with SANS 1592 load chain, with an OLL (overload limiter) as a standard feature and double ratchet pawls. Each unit is supplied with a Performance (Load Test) Certificate, and Toco load tests and recertifies hoists in its own workshop.

Range

Models HSH-0.75 through HSH-9, covering 0.75 ton to 9 ton, with one, two and three falls of load chain depending on capacity.

Specification

Taurus lever hoists comply with SANS 1636 and are fitted with SANS 1592 load chain. An OLL (overload limiter) is fitted as standard. Units carry double ratchet pawls, a free mechanism device designed so free spooling cannot be activated under load, and a mechanical friction braking system with high quality performance brake disks. The gearing assembly is not attached to the outer covers, which prevents external impact damage reaching the gears.

Taurus is a medium duty range. It is the right choice for general site work and lower duty cycles where a heavy duty hoist is more than the job needs. For sustained demanding service, ask about Vital®.

Testing and certification

A lever hoist can suspend a load and halt its motion when input energy stops, so it is supplied with a Performance (Load Test) Certificate. Toco carries out testing and recertification in its own workshop under the oversight of an ECSA registered Lifting Machinery Inspector.

How does Taurus compare with Vital?

Taurus is a medium duty range and Vital is heavy duty. Taurus suits general site work and lower duty cycles at a lower cost; Vital suits sustained, demanding service. Both comply with SANS 1636 and carry a OLL as standard. Ask the team which fits your duty cycle.

Is an OLL fitted as standard?

Yes. An OLL (overload limiter) is a standard feature on Taurus lever hoists, together with double ratchet pawls and a mechanical friction braking system fitted with high quality performance brake disks.

Toco load tests and certifies lever hoists in its own workshop, with technical oversight by an ECSA registered Lifting Machinery Inspector, and recertifies them for the life of the equipment.
