One of the oldest hoist manufacturers in the world.
Yale’s leadership in the hoisting industry was
recognized from the earliest times. In fact, the
Yale name has stood for quality for over 100 years!
It all began in 1875, when Linus Yale invented the
Differential Hoist launching the monorail hoist
industry. Since then, the Yale company has
contributed numerous advancements, as well as a
continued introduction of safety-oriented
accessories like the Weston Screw Load Brake, first
introduced way back in 1879.
Quality engineered and performance tested, Yale
products, like the company itself, are built to
last.
Yale hoists come with two choices of load chain;
roller and link. Roller chain provides smoother,
quieter operation for light to medium duty
applications. Roller chain models are available only
in hook suspension. Link chain hoists are ideal for
heavier service applications requiring repeated
lifting cycles. All link chain models are available
in either hook or lug suspension.
All Yale electric hoists are equipped with a heavy
duty, positive acting, short-stroke DC rectified
disc motor brake. The brake is rated at 150% torque
to stop and hold the load. In addition, all hoists
are provided with a Weston-type mechanical load
brake for load lowering control and as a backup to
the hoist motor brake. An overload device is also
standard on all Yale Electric Chain Hoists. The
overload device protects the hoist, operator and
supporting structure by preventing dangerous
overloads.
A wide variety of trolleys are provided for both
hook and lug-suspended Yale hoists. Trolleys are
available in push, hand-geared and motor-driven
versions. Hook-on trolleys are available in either
push or hand-geared versions. Rigid Mount trolleys
are available in push, hand-geared and motor-driven
versions.
Yale hoists are available in a variety of controls
to meet the specific need of your application. The
standard control is single speed with options
available for two speed and variable frequency. All
Yale electric hoists and/or motor-driven
trolleys are CSA approved.
Whether you are looking for a Yale KEL2, YJL, or the
compact Yale shop hoist, Ergonomic Partners can help
you choose the correct hoist for your application.
In addition to electric chain hoists, Yale offers a
full range of air chain hoists for your most
rigorous applications.
The flagship of Yale’s lineup, the
Yale KEL2 Hoist is loaded with features:
- High-torque, heavy duty hoist motor. Motors
are 30-minute rated with class “B” insulation
provided with a thermal actuated switch (TAS)
embedded in the motor winding for protection.
- Motor brake is a 150% torque, DC rectified
short stroke, spring set disc brake for positive
braking action and long life with minimal
maintenance.
- Load sprocket is provided with a full
floating chain guide that assures proper
engagement of chain on sprocket.
- All gearing is totally enclosed, oil-bath
lubricated for long life.
- Hoists are available in either roller or
link chain.
- The lower block is provided with a 360°
rotating hook riding on thrust bearings. As
standard, the hook is provided with a spring
loaded latch.
- The hoist frame and housing are constructed
from lightweight, rugged aluminum alloy. Housing
is precision machined for accurate gear and
bearing alignment.
- All hoists are provided with mechanical load
brake and Manguard™ overload protection. The
load brake provides load lowering control and a
backup for the DC disc motor brake.
- Manguard™ prevents lifting loads beyond the
hoist’s load range which may damage the hoist.
- Hoist control is located under a removable
cover for easy access.
- Reduced control circuit voltage of 115 volt
is standard.
- All hoists are provided with an upper and
lower control circuit limit switch.
- Hoists are available in either hook or lug
suspension.
- Hook suspension permits portability of the
hoist while lug suspension reduces headroom and
can be used with any of our rigid-mount
trolleys.
- Standard push-button control station is
contoured for operator comfort allowing easy
one-handed sure grip control and provided with a
weatherproof.

- NEMA-4X enclosure. The push-button cable is
provided with built-in strain relief to help
prevent cable damage.

Remember to always use an approved
filter lubricator with your air hoist. It should be
located as close as possible to the hoist.
