The Boss Hoist

The Boss is a new, low headroom catalog hoist being introduced by Integrated Machinery Solutions to meet the demanding performance requirements of American industry. It has been designed to include many of the features that make IMS hoists stand above the competition. Below is a list of the general features of The Boss:

• Capacity from 5 ton through 35 ton

• Meets the critical performance requirements of CMAA Class D service

• Hoist motor power from 15 through 60 horsepower

• Gage from 6 foot through 10 foot in any increment desired

• Low headroom at 21 ½” from rail to top of hoist

• 80 or 120 fpm travel drive speeds

• 10” diameter heat treated wheels

Stacker Hoists

IMS hoists for stacker cranes are designed and built for a multitude of applications and industries including coil production, heat treatment operations, product storage and retrieval, aerospace paint stackers, etc… The stackers can be designed to operate from either a cab or from a pendant station and can be either manually controlled, semi-automated, or fully automated. IMS can design and produce stackers that are capable of high cycle operations in extreme environments like those typically found in CMAA Class F applications. Some of the features typically found on IMS stacker hoists include:

• High capacity and high lift design and production capabilities

• Single mast and carriage or collapsible masts

• Cab on trolley or on mast

• Custom grabs, mandrels, platens, etc…

• Continuous or defined amount of rotation

• Heat treated drum grooves

• Position sensors for rotary and trolley travel

• Modified or 90-degree MCB wheel assemblies

• High hardness trolley wheels, typically 60 HRc tread hardness

• Load limit and/or load measurement systems

• Hydraulic bumpers

• Centralized lube lines

• Cameras, video recorders, lights
