Story Behind the Invention
Inventor Robin Sargent of Houma, LA has created a cost-effective lifting device that transforms an existing pulley-mounted chain hoist into a motorized lifting device.
Typical chain hoists are manually operated. These devices are used for raising and lowering loads in areas like small warehouses, garages, or shops. Overhead cranks are not practical in these areas and they are also expensive. Raising and lowering manual chain hoists takes a lot of time. Motorized lifting devices that use electrical, hydraulic, or pneumatic power are usually found in large manufacturing facilities and distribution centers. Smaller operations do not typically have the chance to benefit from a motorized lifting assembly like their larger counterparts. Inventor Sargent has created a means for an inexpensive lifting device that can retrofit an existing pull-mounted chain hoist into a motorized lifting device.
This clever new invention can be easily incorporated with a manual chain hoist. It saves time and money. It reduces manual labor. It allows for safer lifting and lowering of heavy loads. It is great for small shops. The use of the Lifting Assembly transforms an existing pulley-mounted chain hoist into a motorized lifting device in a manner which is quick, easy, and effective.
