Tiger TAH-M Twin Hook Pneumatic Air Hoist – 2t to 6t

Description

The Tiger TAH-M Twin Hook Pneumatic Air Hoist is purpose-built for demanding lifting and pulling operations. Originally developed for the mining sector, this versatile hoist is now trusted globally across marine, offshore, and industrial environments where performance, precision, and reliability are essential.

Powered by compressed air and operating at 4�6 bar, the TAH-M offers a 100% duty cycle, enabling non-stop operation without risk of overheating. Ideal for continuous or repetitive lifting tasks. Unlike electric hoists, pneumatic air hoists do not produce sparks, making them suitable for explosion-risk and ATEX-certified environments.

The balanced motor design ensures equal power distribution, while the integral load limiter provides dual overload protection in both lifting and pulling directions. This safety feature automatically prevents the operator from exceeding 125% of the working load limit (WLL) and remains fully effective at all operating pressures.

Operators benefit from smooth, variable speed control via lever, pilot pendant, or direct pendant options, offering exceptional accuracy for positioning heavy or sensitive loads. The fail-safe, non-asbestos disc brake automatically engages when the air supply is cut, holding more than 125% of the WLL for absolute safety and control.

The integral silencer keeps noise levels below 83dB(A), supporting quieter operation even in enclosed or high-activity environments. A sealed planetary gearbox with heat-treated gears and low-friction bearings ensures maximum durability under heavy load cycles.

Constructed with a Grade 8 load chain, compliant with SANS/ISO 3077 and EN818-7 Appendix B, the TAH-M meets stringent international lifting standards. Its modular design allows quick access to key components such as the motor, brake, gearbox, and load limiter, reducing downtime and simplifying maintenance.

The hoist is ATEX Category 3 compliant for Zones 2 (gas) and 22 (dust) and carries the designation Ex II 3 GD c IIB T4 IIIB T135�C. This makes it ideal for use in hazardous or explosion-prone environments such as refineries, shipyards, and offshore installations.

A range of hook configurations is available including standard, closed eye, grab, and self-locking hooks, to suit different load handling needs.

Pendant control options include nickel-plated SG iron E/Stop pendants, twist-grip pendants, or toggle controls, all designed for precise and reliable operation.

To ensure optimum performance, Tiger recommends using the TAH-M with a Filter Regulator Lubricator (FRL) unit, which filters air contaminants, regulates pressure, and lubricates the system. The FRL should be installed within 3 metres of the hoist, using ISO VG10 light oil and a 10-micron air filter for maximum efficiency and motor protection.

Backed by ISO9001-certified manufacturing, EN14492-2, ASME B30.16, and SANS 1638 compliance, the Tiger TAH-M delivers exceptional safety, longevity, and performance. This makes it a trusted choice for the vacuum lifting and handling industry, industrial lifting, and hazardous environment operations.
