a new era of chain hoist
put an ace in your hands

DISCOVER THE EXE ACE D8 CHAIN HOIST family

This collection is for you if you’re looking for a cost effective solution for one-off events or for installations that last weeks or months at a time.

Since these types of events don’t require constant starts and stops day after day after day from the hoist, the EXE Ace collection has been designed for a lower duty cycle. While EXE Ace hoists are all compliant with D8 requirements, we have been able to make them more lightweight by designing them to a standard 5-to-1 safety factor with a single brake unit, though a secondary brake is available as an add-on when ordering new EXE Ace hoists.

All EXE Ace hoists are engineered with the clutch positioned outside of the load path for compliance with the highest entertainment safety requirements, made by high pressure die cast aluminium “steel alloy” with two layers of black powder coating for extra toughness, feature flexible handles and chain bag bracket for ease of handling whether rigging the EXE Ace body up or body down, and operational noises is as low as 67.5 decibels.

 

We can configure new EXE Ace hoists to comply with your country’s mains power supply and can provide either direct or low voltage control. These hoists pair very well with the EXE Drive 4 – or 8 – channel Basic Controllers.

Available hoist capacities include the D8 ½ ton compact medium frame, 1 ton medium frame, or the 2 ton compact XL frame.

If the authority having jurisdiction does not require D8+ hoists, then save transport weight, install time, total structure weight, and money with the lightweight D8 model EXE Ace hoists. Perfect for exhibition halls, concert halls, studios, soundstages, casinos, residency shows and more…

eXE ace D8 chain hoist Features

SINGLE BRAKE

The chain hoist EXE Ace series are supplied with single brake as standard according to the SQP2 standards. The brakes are supplied as complete units which allows for trouble free use and quick and easy inspection.

DOUBLE BRAKE

If extra safety redundancy is required, and additional second brake can be mounted (on request) to give a double brake configuration.

IRON AND ASBESTOS FREE BRAKE

Shoes and stainless steel brake discs will not rust in the presence of moisture, preventing brake assemblies from seizing.

SELF CLIMBING OR STANDARD SUSPENSION

Without any adjustment required. Swivel hooks on the chain and body reduces the risk of chain twist and allows easy positioning.

CLUTCH OUTSIDE THE LOAD PATH

Positioned on the motor shaft in front of the motor assembly. With this arrangement, the brakes will hold the load in the unlikely event of a clutch failure.

body

The body is made in cast aluminium to be as light, yet as strong as possible. The matt black finish is corrosion resistant and non reflective.

GEAR BOX

The Gear Box is manufactured with a thicker aluminum wall, comparing to the rest of the body, to respond to the very stringent mechanical requirements.

CHAIN BAG BRACKET

Allows the hoist to be used motor up or down. The design ensures the bag is positioned correctly to accept chain without the need for any adjustment, reducing the chance of chain spills.

BEARING GREASE

High load molybdenum disulphide plain. It has been designed for the effective lubrication and protection of plain bearings and sliding surfaces used in extreme environments, particularly in heavily loaded, slow moving applications.

EXTERNAL CHAIN GUIDE

Made from a special PVC is used to minimize the chance of chain jamming should the chain become twisted. This sacrificial plate helps protect both the chain and internal chain guides. Supply in two parts for fast and easy replacement.

handles

EXE chain hoists have handles that work in either orientation. Regulations state handles shall be provided to make access to hoist the easy in any orientation.

load wheel

All EXE chain hoists have load wheels with 5 pockets; this ensures compliance with European standards and delivers a smooth, quiet movement. Load wheels are heat treated.

VERY LOW OPERATIONAL NOISE

With just 67.5 dBA, you can take the quiet jobs.

hertz / volt

EXE Ace chain hoist technical data have been calculated considering European power and control supply 230/400VAC – 3 – 50Hz. On request it is possible to have technical data at the different power and control supply and at the different frequency values.

CHAIN

DAT type, RTS chain made of galvanized alloy steel grade 80, and complies with the standard DIN EN 818-7. Available in BLACK color with T grade and DAT type.
The quality is RTS and the surface is phosphate
