ATEX Rated

Standard Slip Clutch

The VLCB's slip clutch protects the hoist from damage and helps the operator maintain balance in the case of an excessive overload. This feature keeps the hoist working safely in position on the job site, reducing costly downtime and repairs, and maximizing the safety of the operator and co-workers in the immediate area.
