Kennards Hire Lift & Shift announces the addition of Ingersoll Rand
FA5i air winches to their impressive line-up of hoists and winches.
Ideal for a variety of tensioning applications, air winches are simple
to operate, rugged, reliable and capable of enormous lifting and pulling power.
Since air motors cannot burn out, they can be stalled all day without damage.
Ingersoll Rand FA5i air winches are suitable for the Australian
environment with their ability to operate in hot, cold, dusty or wet
conditions. Key benefits also include no electric shock hazard, no requirement
for special enclosures, and no high-pressure hydraulic lines susceptible to
leaks.
The latest acquisition by Kennards Hire Lift & Shift significantly
expands the selection of winches that meet stringent specifications and
industry regulations for their customers.
Key features of the Ingersoll Rand FA5i air winches include capability
to hold 484 metres of 16mm rope, achieving five tonne-plus top lay pulling
capacity with a line speed of up to 16 metres per minute; and operational air
supply requirement of 700 CFM.
Combining cutting-edge technology and enhanced safety standards with
reliability, Ingersoll Rand FA5i air winches meet the evolving needs of
customers from diverse industry sectors including oil, gas and pipe laying,
mining, manufacturing, telecommunications, electrical, and civil
infrastructure.
Kennards Hire Lift & Shift also supplies a Dyneema fibre rope for
use with the FA5I winch to provide increased site safety as it does not have
the recoil force of steel wire rope in the event of breakage. The addition of
the fibre rope has also reduced the overall operating weight from 1800kg down
to 1100kg.
