Power Climber

Power Climber's PC3 powered traction hoist is designed for service efficiency. Engineered polymer covers and unique easily accessible components save time. By cutting turn service to less than 10 minutes and annual maintenance to one hour, the PC3 frees fleet owners from extensive service time to prepare a hoist for rental. With a voltage range of 170 volts to 229 volts, this fully featured hoist operates at lower voltage than other hoists on the market, according to the company. The PC3 family of hoists includes 1,000-pound and 1,500-pound single and 3-phase hoists, a 110-volt unit and air hoists.

Ted Crosby, owner of C.E. Merkel, a scaffolding rental company in Largo, Fla., likes the voltage range of the PC3 hoist. “It can run on very low electrical currents or very high,” Crosby says. “It is easy to switch out the electrical components, and it's very easy to rebuild the unit if you need to.”
