The hoist is designed and tested to comply with EN1808:2015, UL 1323 and ASME A120.1-2008 and is certified in accordance with EN1808:1999+A1:2010 and Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
Competitive advantages of the XSClimber
The hoist by XSPlatforms is engineered to outperform other hoists, providing the following advantages to the user:
Plug and play
With the help of a single electrical connector, the XSClimber can easily be connected to the centrally mounted control box without requiring any extensive know-how.
Global usability
It is engineered to exceed all relevant standards worldwide, so that it is globally applicable. It can easily be adjusted to meet the requirements of any specific region, because we have designed the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) - with all electronic components in one place - in such a way that it can easily be replaced. It can also be fitted with both types of secondary brakes without needing any adjustments.
Less maintenance and shorter downtime
Its high grade materials ensure a long lifespan. It is also equipped with a dust and waterproof housing at an IP54 protection level (protected from limited dust ingress and water sprayed from any direction) and ventilation slots that prevent overheating. The supports on the bottom and the four-point access system allow quick access to the interior of the hoist, making maintenance especially fast and easy. In addition, there is a digital running hours counter on the control panel that can be read without dismantling. All electronic functionalities are gathered together on the single PCB, speeding up maintenance and possible replacement substantially.
Integrated operation system
Because each individual hoist is equipped with its own control box, the suspended platform is easy to control using the XSClimber. It is equipped with an all-in-one control panel, with emergency stop and lifting and lowering function. This way, the suspended platform can be corrected in case it tilts. The extra control panel also ensures easy installation. So the wire rope can be used to maneuver the hoist to its correct place by only one operator.
