Description
Tiger TAH250 Pneumatic Air Hoist
The Tiger TAH250 Pneumatic Air Hoist (25t-60t WLL) is an ultra-heavy-duty pneumatic lifting solution developed for applications requiring exceptional lifting capacity, continuous operation and dependable performance in demanding environments.
Designed for industries including mining, shipyards, offshore platforms, power stations and heavy manufacturing, the TAH250 operates from a compressed air supply of 4-6 bar and provides a 100% duty cycle. This allows the hoist to operate continuously without the duty-cycle limitations commonly associated with electric lifting equipment.
With a lifting capacity range of 25 tonnes to 60 tonnes, the TAH250 is designed for large-scale industrial lifting where high capacity, precise control and robust construction are critical.
Extreme-Duty Pneumatic Lifting
The TAH250 is engineered for applications where conventional lifting equipment may not provide the required combination of capacity and continuous operation.
Powered entirely by compressed air, the hoist is suitable for demanding industrial environments and applications where electrical power may be unavailable or unsuitable.
The 100% duty cycle allows continuous operation, making the TAH250 particularly suitable for repetitive and intensive lifting applications.
Its pneumatic design also provides precise load control, with toggle and pendant control options available for accurate positioning of heavy loads.
High-Capacity Overload Protection
An integral differential pressure load limiter provides automatic overload protection by preventing the hoist from lifting loads exceeding 125% of its Working Load Limit (WLL).
The load limiter is designed to provide repeatable protection across the operating pressure range without generating damaging heat or experiencing mechanical wear.
A fail-safe, self-adjusting disc brake automatically engages when the air supply is stopped, helping to hold the suspended load securely.
The brake is designed to hold more than 125% of the hoist’s WLL.
Powerful Vane Motor
The TAH250 uses a pneumatic vane motor designed to provide high starting torque when lifting heavy loads.
This ensures reliable starting performance under load and allows the hoist to handle demanding lifting applications with controlled and consistent operation.
The pneumatic motor is particularly suited to environments where continuous-duty lifting and dependable starting performance are required.
Sealed Planetary Gearbox
A sealed planetary gearbox provides reliable power transmission and long service life under intensive operating conditions.
The gearbox incorporates heat-treated gears and high-strength, low-friction bearings, helping the TAH250 withstand demanding duty cycles while reducing the need for routine maintenance.
The modular construction of the hoist also provides straightforward access to key internal components, including the motor, gearbox, brake and load limiter.
Grade 8 Load Chain
The TAH250 is fitted with Grade 8 load chain designed for demanding high-speed and heavy-duty lifting cycles.
The load chain complies with the requirements of EN 818-7 Appendix B, providing a robust lifting medium for the high-capacity TAH250 range.
An optional stainless steel chain carrier is available to contain and protect loose chain during lifting operations and transportation between work areas.
Suitable for Hazardous Areas
The Tiger TAH250 is available with ATEX Category 3 certification for hazardous environments.
The stated ATEX designation is:
- Ex II 3 GD c IIB T4 IIIB T135°C
This makes the hoist suitable for:
- Zone 2 gas hazardous areas
- Zone 22 dust hazardous areas
ATEX Category 2 versions for higher safety requirements are also available on request.
The TAH250 is manufactured in accordance with the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU and Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
Reduced Operating Noise
An integral exhaust silencer is incorporated into the hoist design to reduce operating noise.
The stated noise level is below 85 dB(A), helping to reduce noise exposure in demanding industrial working environments.
Air Supply and FRL System
Tiger pneumatic hoists require a suitable Filter Regulator Lubricator (FRL) system to maintain reliable operation.
The FRL system:
- Filters water and contaminants from the air supply
- Regulates air pressure
- Lubricates the pneumatic motor
Tiger recommends using a 10-micron airline filter as close to the hoist as possible to help prevent dirt and grit from entering the motor.
The airline lubricator should be installed close to the hoist and operated using suitable light oil. Tiger recommends ISO VG10 lubricant.
Using the correct FRL equipment helps maintain consistent hoist performance and extend component life.

- Mining operations
- Shipyards
- Offshore platforms
- Power stations
- Heavy manufacturing
- Industrial engineering
