EUROCHAIN VX VARIO, the electric chain hoist with speed variation
EUROCHAIN VX VARIO, the electric chain hoist with speed variation from Verlinde, lifts loads from 125 to 2500 kg. It benefits from all the technical advantages of the EUROCHAIN VX range in addition to features associated with speed control: increased productivity and service life.

Increased productivity
Continuous speed control provides smooth starts, quick accelerations and smoother stops to optimise load-handling operations. The ESR system makes it possible to adjust the lifting speed of the acceleration and deceleration ramps in accordance with the load, up to twice as fast with lighter loads. This threshold-free variation of the lifting movements ensures extremely precise positioning of loads and greater flexibility of use. Having a minimum speed of 0.15 m/min to 0.65 m/min depending on the version, with EUROCHAIN VX VARIO, even the least experienced operators can handle loads without risk of damage. The continuous speed control also offers greater productivity.
Longer equipment life
Continuous speed control reduces mechanical shocks through smoother starts and stops. Reducing the number and level of shocks to bridge, jib or structural components significantly increases the life of the structure.
In addition, continuous speed control allows the electric brake to be used first during deceleration before the mechanical brake is applied. Using the mechanical brake only as a holding brake ("parking" brake) increases its service life.
Uncompromising safety
The EUROCHAIN VX VARIO hoist incorporates an electronic load sensor to prevent overloading and slippage control with torque limiter. The hoist is equipped with a 50% active damping system against the polygon effect.
