With the ability to design hoist performance to the speeds required to support high volume production, Cognition™ hoists are a safer, more efficient alternative to air hoists in lineside applications.

With built in networking and digital control, Cognition™ hoists can be part of automated workstation systems with a single or multiple units in a coordinated system to move high value assemblies swiftly, precisely, and safely into the right position.

For RV manufacturing, moving work platforms can be implemented with multiple hoists coordinated for safe movement with a single control station. Incorporating obstacle detection / slack chain conditions, operator safety interlocks, and precise control at each hoist location, Cognition™ hoists give you safety and control that avoids the speed / position differences found in conventional powered chain hoists.

Entertainment

Why are you paying up to $20,000 per hoist to get variable speed operation, load sensing, and networking capability compatible with event control systems? Cognition™ hoists provide all these as standard features. Both we and our hoists speak EtherCAT. BGV-C1 and SR2.0 compliant models are available.

Given that show designers are always looking to push the envelope for lifting applications, our exclusive ParaMod™ digital design technology allows us to create new custom designs nearly as quickly as you can think them up.

By the way, be sure to ask us about our dual motor configurations for the ultimate in safety – including flying people on stage.

Manufacturing

Imagine the hoist moving from a dumb object that requires a person to command movement to a device capable of responding with low latency to system position / velocity commands as part of a coordinated manufacturing system. With onboard computing power and sensing capabilities far beyond other hoists in the market today, Cognition™ hoists enable you to think differently about your material handling applications.
