Air Hoists

Accessories such as filter-lubricator units are also offered. Our Service Professionals are more than willing to assist in determining the hoist most suitable for your application.

Cost, service support, features, and quality are all considerations when we select products to offer in the market. If your application has special requirements, contact us. We will be happy to work with you to solve your hoisting needs.
Electric Wire Rope Hoists
Today’s wire rope hoists offer a variety of standard features and can be customized with catalogued options at low cost. They are available in both electric and air powered models.
Lever Hoists
Lever hoists and pullers have the advantage of being easy to transport, require minimum set-up, and are a practical option in confined spaces. They are suitable for different applications ranging from heavy-duty construction work to day-to-day maintenance and repair jobs. FHS offers a variety of lever hoists and pullers to fit your needs.
Manual Chain Hoists
Hand Chain Hoists are a suitable alternative for applications in which portability and easy rigging are critical. Hand Chain Hoists are useful for fine control applications in which accurate positioning of the load is essential and are suitable for hazardous environments where electrical arcing is a concern. Suspension alternatives include hook mount, plain trolley, geared trolley, low headroom, and army type trolley options.
Twin Hook Hoists
Twin hook hoists offer the benefit of a stable lift through the use of twin hooks that lift simultaneously. They are also highly suitable for customization. Applications requiring the lifting of long and bulky loads need the use of equipment capable of handling the oversize dimensions. FHS represents several brands in both manual hand chain and electric twin hook models. Please consult us to identify the hoist best suited for your application.
