February 27, 2006 -- Beta Max Inc., Melbourne, Fla., provides multiple combinations of hoists, mountings, and baskets for a variety of industries. One such package that's ideal for the plant maintenance and construction industries includes the Gemini Plus portable hoist, Scaff-Trac mounting option, and Equipment Basket.

 

The Gemini Plus portable hoist has a single line lifting capacity of 600 pounds and a double line lifting capacity of 1200 pounds. The Gemini Plus comes equipped with a non-rotating cable to help prevent loads from spinning while lifting and lowering objects, as well as an up limit switch to automatically stop the load when it reaches the top. Its failsafe brakes ensure there will be no free-falling even in the event of power interruption.

 

When the Gemini Plus is used in conjunction with Beta Max's Scaff-Trac Mounting Option, it is attached to the scaffolding and hangs just under the horizontal members of a frame scaffold using Beta Max saddles and pins. The Scaff-Trac works with frame scaffolds using either 7- or 8-foot cross braces and allows the load to be rolled back into the scaffold for unloading. The Scaff-Trac allows a cantilever of 3½ feet. Unlimited system lengths are available using add-on 7-fooy Scaff-Trac Extensions.

 

In addition to offering the hoist and the mounting option, Beta Max also offers an equipment basket in two different weight capacities. The 800-pound capacity basket is 36¾ inches long by 36¾ inches wide by 18½ inches high. The 400-pound capacity basket is 30¾ inches long by 20¾ inches wide by 12¼ inches high. Using a spreader bar, the basket attaches to the Gemini Plus hoist.

 

All Beta Max Hoists Systems meet or exceed ANSI and OSHA specifications.
