Description
E-Float Hoist™
Knight Global E-Float Hoist™
Series: KSBA150 / KSBC150 / KSBC300
The Knight E-Float Hoist™ is a high-performance servo hoist built for flexible, efficient material handling. It delivers Knight’s exclusive Float Mode without an inline load cell.
The extremely low-profile design reduces stack-up height, which suits headroom-limited installations. Maximum capacity is 300 lbs [136 kg].
A sealed gearbox gives long service life and quiet running. The modular construction allows fast access during inspection or maintenance. An E-Float Hoist+ version is available with custom tooling integration, custom programming and full I/O capability.
*Note: Models ending in -P are the E-Float Hoist+ version with full I/O. Contact FULLSHARP for help choosing the right configuration for your project.
