After adapting to the scorching heat of 40℃ and the severe cold of -20℃, is your equipment still unfamiliar with the extreme low temperature of -40℃? Please follow the editor to pay attention to Yale low-temperature products, learn more about the details of low-temperature hoists, and under what circumstances you need to choose extreme low-temperature products of -40℃.

Extreme low temperature application environment

Generally, low-temperature industrial products are usually applied in the northern regions of the world, such as Norway, Sweden, Finland, Greenland, etc. In actual applications, there are also many working environments below -20℃ that require the use of material handling products.

Construction and mechanical industries
Oil and gas exploration and production
Wind power
Cryogenic laboratories
Commercial fishing
Other low temperature environments

For example, cable car assembly or maintenance work in cold mountainous areas, cold storage, oil and gas exploration and production in the North and Baltic Seas, or exterior assembly and maintenance work in the construction industry in cold regions can be exposed to extreme temperatures. In all these areas, cranes must operate safely in extreme temperatures to minimize potential dangers to personnel and resources and to ensure efficient work. Choosing the right crane and hoist is crucial for the operator. If the hoist is not selected appropriately, expensive equipment damage, personal injury and loss of productivity due to failure of the handling equipment may occur.

Why choose low temperature products?

Although general high-quality lifting equipment has used high-quality and reliable engineering materials and designed safety factors, it is worth noting that after verification in some specific industries, many materials will change related properties at extremely low temperatures, such as fractures, which cannot be foreseen by users. Therefore, if the lifting equipment needs to work at extreme temperatures, special materials and accessories must be selected. For example, the lubricating oil used in the hoist must be suitable for low temperature environments, otherwise the safety performance of the hoist will be impaired.

CMCO’s low-temperature products are coming

CMCO’s standard hoist products are suitable for temperatures ranging from -20°C to +50°C! The ARCTIC EDITION series hoists use special materials and lubricants, and have been tested and certified through a carefully designed low-temperature test program, including functional stress testing, endurance testing, breaking strength testing and impact testing. In addition to static tests, ARCTIN EDITION products are also subjected to dynamic low temperature tests to exclude mechanical and material failures.

Therefore, ARCTIC EDITION hoists can withstand low temperature environments and can be stored or used in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +50°C and meet the highest safety standards in a temperature range of -40°C to +50°C.

Low-temperature products—two series

The AICTIC EDITION of the Yalelift 360 and YaleUNOplus A series is specially designed and tested for applications in extremely cold regions. It uses cryogenic fluid drive and is designed in Germany for material handling in extremely low temperature environments of -40°C.

Yalelift 360 Arctic Edition - Chain Blocks - Rated Loads 1,000 – 3,000kg

Yale UNOplus -A Series Arctic Edition - Hand Blocks - Rated Loads 750 – 3,000kg

Yalelift 360 Arctic Edition

In the new ARCTIC EDITION version, the Yalelift 360 has been given a tried and tested chain block with a standard load of 1,000 – 3,000 kg for an extended range of use in extreme temperatures. All the features of the Yalelift360, especially the innovative 360° hand brake chain guide, have been retained and expanded with new functions.

Yale UNOplus -A

The Yale UNOplus A series has a load capacity of 750-3,000kg. As with the Yalelift 360, all familiar and proven product features are retained and extended for use in extreme temperatures
