The powered chain hoist finally meets the digital era. 

Digital position / velocity control with true variable speed operation. Integral load sensing. Tailored product design for your application. Real time lifting data and lifting history. Easier servicing. Cognition’s approach to design and manufacturing changes the game.  Giving you the hoist you want with standard features no other chain hoist on the market offers.

Patented ParaMod™ hoist design allows your choice of lift capacity, lift speed, and safety factor in days - not weeks or months.

Standard specification for all Cognition™ electric chain hoists includes:

• Compliance to all aspects of ASME B30 and European machinery directives

• Standard variable speed operation that is easily reconfigurable at any time

• Choice of operating modes – position control, speed control, or torque control (“load floating”)

• Integral load sensing and adjustable electronic overload protection

• Dual, redundant position sensing with software limits alongside one set of hard limit switches

• Integral wired (Ethernet physical layer) and wireless (WiFi / Bluetooth) networks

• Wireless user interface accessed via standard web browser

• Onboard continuous operation monitoring with diagnostics and flight recorder capability

• “30 Minutes or Less” guarantee for inspection and servicing.

• IP55 standard protection against dust and water intrusion with operating temperature from 0 to 100 deg F. IP66 protection and arctic packages available.
