Tiger TAH-M Monorail Pneumatic Air Hoist – 10t-20t WLL

Description

Tiger TAH-M Monorail Pneumatic Air Hoist

The Tiger TAH-M Monorail Pneumatic Air Hoist (10t–20t WLL) is a high-capacity pneumatic lifting and traversing system designed for demanding industrial applications where reliability, continuous operation and precise load control are essential.

Part of Tiger’s MTH Series, the hoist combines a powerful pneumatic lifting motor with an integrated monorail trolley, allowing loads to be both lifted and moved horizontally along a suitable monorail beam. Operating from a compressed air supply of 4–6 bar, the system provides a 100% duty cycle, making it suitable for intensive and repetitive lifting operations where conventional electric equipment may be unsuitable.

The MTH Series is used across demanding industries including mining, shipyards, offshore construction, automotive manufacturing, foundries and power generation. Its robust construction and comprehensive safety features make it particularly well suited to harsh industrial environments.

Pneumatic Power for Continuous Operation

The Tiger TAH-M is powered entirely by compressed air, eliminating the need for an electric lifting motor and providing a reliable solution where electrical power is unavailable or where ignition risks need to be minimised.

The 100% continuous duty cycle allows the hoist to operate continuously without the duty-cycle limitations commonly associated with electric hoists. This makes it particularly effective for repetitive production, maintenance and heavy lifting applications.

Operating pressure is between 4 and 6 bar, while variable-speed pneumatic control allows operators to position loads smoothly and accurately.

Integrated Monorail Trolley

The MTH Series combines the pneumatic hoist with a robust monorail trolley, allowing the suspended load to travel along an overhead beam.

This provides a complete lifting and traversing solution for applications where loads need to be moved horizontally as well as vertically.

The trolley incorporates several safety systems designed to maintain stability during operation, including:

• Anti-fall protection
• Anti-derailment protection
• Anti-tilt mechanisms

These features help keep the trolley and suspended load securely positioned during lifting and travelling operations, including demanding industrial applications where dynamic forces may be present.

High-Capacity Industrial Lifting

With a 10t to 20t working load limit, the Tiger TAH-M Monorail Pneumatic Air Hoist is designed for high-capacity industrial lifting applications.

The combination of high lifting capacity, continuous-duty pneumatic operation and powered monorail travel makes the system suitable for moving heavy machinery, components, equipment and industrial loads across defined lifting routes.

Typical applications include heavy engineering, manufacturing, mining, shipyards, offshore facilities and power generation.

Automatic Overload Protection

An integral differential pressure load limiter provides automatic overload protection.

The system prevents the operator from lifting a load exceeding 125% of the working load limit, with the load limiter designed to operate consistently at different working pressures.

Unlike systems that rely on friction or heat generation, the differential pressure design provides repeatable overload protection without generating damaging heat or experiencing wear through normal operation.

Fail-Safe Disc Brake

The TAH-M incorporates a fail-safe, non-asbestos disc brake that automatically engages when the air supply is interrupted.

The self-adjusting brake is designed to hold loads in excess of 125% of the working load limit, helping to maintain load control in the event of an interruption to the pneumatic supply.

The brake is designed for long service life without requiring continual adjustment.

Emergency Stop System

A main-line emergency stop is supplied as standard on the MTH Series.

When activated, the emergency stop immediately shuts off the air supply to both the hoist and traverse motors, allowing operators to rapidly stop lifting and travelling movements in an emergency situation.

This provides an additional level of control for demanding industrial lifting operations.

Precise Variable-Speed Control

The TAH-M uses a pneumatic vane motor designed to provide high starting torque when lifting under load.

Variable-speed control allows operators to make smooth and controlled adjustments to lifting and travelling movements, helping with accurate load positioning.

This is particularly valuable when handling large or high-value components where precise positioning is required.

Heavy-Duty Construction

The hoist is designed for demanding industrial environments and incorporates a number of features intended to maximise durability and reduce maintenance requirements.

Key construction features include:

• Robust pneumatic vane motor
• Sealed planetary gearbox
• Heat-treated gears
• Low-friction bearings
• Grade 8 load chain
• Non-asbestos self-adjusting disc brake
• Modular construction for simplified maintenance
• Integrated pneumatic silencer

The sealed gearbox protects the internal gearing while the heat-treated gears and high-strength bearings are designed to withstand demanding lifting cycles.

Reduced Operating Noise

An integrated exhaust silencer helps reduce operating noise to below 83 dB(A).

This can help improve the working environment in busy industrial facilities and enclosed areas where noise levels are an important consideration.

Grade 8 Load Chain

The MTH Series uses Grade 8 load chain manufactured to meet the requirements of EN 818-7 Appendix B.

The chain is designed for demanding high-speed duty cycles and provides the strength and durability required for high-capacity industrial lifting.

Optional stainless steel chain carriers are available to safely contain excess chain during operation and transportation.

ATEX Certified Pneumatic Hoist

The Tiger TAH-M Monorail Pneumatic Air Hoist is available with ATEX Category 3 certification, making it suitable for specified hazardous environments where electrical ignition risks must be minimised.

The standard ATEX designation is:

Ex II 3 GD c IIB T4 IIIB T135°C

The equipment is suitable for:

• Zone 2 gas environments
• Zone 22 dust environments

This makes the pneumatic monorail hoist suitable for applications where potentially explosive atmospheres may be present, including certain offshore, chemical, industrial and processing environments.

Simplified Maintenance

The modular design of the TAH-M allows technicians to access key internal components without unnecessarily complex maintenance procedures.

Components including the:

• Pneumatic motor
• Gearbox
• Brake
• Load limiter

are designed for straightforward access, helping to reduce maintenance time and minimise operational downtime.

Optional Chain Carriers

Stainless steel chain carriers are available as an optional accessory.

These carriers are designed to store excess load chain during lifting and travelling operations, helping to prevent loose chain from becoming snagged or contaminated.

Different carrier capacities can be selected according to the required chain length and application.

Typical Applications

The Tiger TAH-M Monorail Pneumatic Air Hoist is suitable for a wide range of demanding industrial applications, including:

• Mining operations
• Shipyards
• Offshore construction
• Offshore platforms
• Power stations
• Automotive manufacturing
• Foundries
• Heavy engineering
• Industrial manufacturing
• Maintenance facilities
• Machinery handling
• Heavy component handling
• Hazardous-area lifting
• ATEX-rated industrial environments
• Continuous-duty lifting applications
