Leo Variable Speed Hoist

The Beta Max Leo Hoist is our largest capacity portable hoist designed for heavy duty long lifts.

Two programmed speed sets are standard but, additional speed setting are available. The standard slow speed is 8 ft. per minute, for toggling materials into place and precision placement. The second set will smoothly graduate up to 80ft. per minute, for quicker movement between floors.

The hoist is available in two models, a standard drum holding 220ft. of cable or an extra long drum that allows for 400ft. of operational lifting height.

When the hoist is used on a single line it has a 1000lb. capacity. The solution includes a double rope kit that when installed, increases the hoists lifting capacity to 2000lbs.

Two hand held wireless controllers compliment this powerful tool by creating wireless freedom from long cumbersome pendant cords. This allows the worker waiting to receive/ place the panel to have control of the hoist and the payload.

How your hoist is mounted can make all the difference when installing or replacing panels.

When erecting scaffolding on a roof, adding additional IBeams running perpendicular as well as parallel to the building gives you full access to run the hoist along the full side of the building. We offer rigging solutions that save you time and money.

No re-rigging. Reduce time or eliminate moving counter balance weights.

Move more materials across several scaffold bays with ease and more efficient use of man power.

Stop waiting on slow chain hoist or wasting money on expensive cranes and let Beta Max help you lower costs, win more bids and get your payload to the work level on time and within budget!

Miami International Airport officials hired Hensel Phelps Construction Company, a nationally known general contractor, to be the general contractor for the South Terminal expansion.

The hoist has had no breakdowns or malfunctions since its installation, and it is in use for 24 hours per day," said Cumpton. "It requires only routine maintenance just once per week and it has performed flawlessly."

Based on this positive experience, Cumpton asserted that he would unhesitatingly use Beta Max hoists again. "Interior hoists present fewer issues from a structural standpoint, primarily because the traditional exterior hoists tend to be much heavier," he said. "Beta Max hoists are ideal because they combine high performance with ease of use and a low cost."
