Kito Crosby Unveils Harrington RNER2 Series Hazardous Location Hoists

Kito Crosby has introduced the Harrington RNER2 series to its line of three-phase electric chain hoists, specifically designed for hazardous location environments where fire or explosion hazards may be present due to flammable gases or combustible dust.

These new hoists are ideal for industries that demand stringent safety in volatile conditions, such as petrochemical, grain processing and mining.

The RNER2 series includes three model variations, each designed to meet specific hazardous location requirements:

• RNER2: Ideal for Class II Division two locations, this model is suitable for dust groups F (coal) and G (grain), offering enhanced safety in combustible dust environments.
• RNER2B: Designed for Class I, II Division one location, this model protects against gas groups C (ethylene) and D (propane) as well as dust groups F (coal) and G (grain), making it a versatile option for environments with flammable gases and dust.
• RNER2D: Tailored for Class I Division two areas, this model covers gas groups B (hydrogen), C (ethylene) and D (propane), addressing safety needs in hydrogen-rich or propane-laden atmospheres.

Each model offers lifting capacities ranging from 1 to 5 tons, with a standard 10-foot lift height. They are available in either a top hook configuration or with a trolley for added mobility.

The RNER2 series boasts several safety and durability features, including low-headroom upper and lower limit switches, a long-life slip clutch to prevent hoist damage and a super-strength, nickel-plated load chain.

All models in the RNER2 series are certified to applicable Underwriters Laboratories and CSA standards. The RNER2B and RNER2D models are marked with the cULus certification, verifying their compliance with Canadian and U.S. safety standards.

One of the standout features of the RNER2 series is the patented “The Guardian” Smart Brake Technology, which provides a maintenance-free failsafe brake with a 10-year warranty, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.
