All Yale electric chain hoists are equipped with a heavy duty, positive acting, short-stroke DC rectified disc motor brake. The brake is rated at 150% torque to stop and hold the load. In addition, all hoists are provided with a Weston-type mechanical load brake for load lowering control and as a backup to the hoist motor brake. An overload device is also standard on all Yale Electric Chain Hoists. The overload device protects the hoist, operator and supporting structure by preventing dangerous overloads.
