The Nova Cronos is a high-speed manual chain hoist featuring a dual-speed mechanism that lifts up to five times faster when unloaded. Engineered for fast, repetitive handling, it automatically shifts from high speed to standard speed as soon as load is applied—no neutral position—ensuring smooth, safe, and reliable operation. Its high-strength steel frame protects internal components, while sealed ball bearings on both side plates deliver exceptionally low-effort, fluid rotation. Alloy-steel hooks with cast safety latches offer superior toughness for demanding industrial environments. By reducing the amount of repetitive hand-chain pulling, it also helps limit cumulative strain compared to traditional manual hoists.
