SHB Ultra-Low Headroom Trolley Hoist
4.5 inches of headroom at one ton
6 models · 1 – 10 ton · 1 mounting option
Harrington
The lowest headroom Harrington builds. A one ton SHB needs four and a half inches between the beam and the hook — roughly a third of what a conventional hoist and trolley stack up to. It exists for buildings that have run out of height.
Where it fits
- Buildings where there is genuinely no room left overhead
- Recovering hook height without touching the structure
- Maximising lift under an existing beam
Features
- Ultra-low headroom — 4.5 in at 1 ton
- 20 ft standard lift
- Wide flange width adjustability
Worth knowing
The wheelbase means an SHB cannot negotiate a curved beam. Straight runs only.
