Knight Global E-Float Hoist™
Series: KSBA150 / KSBC150 / KSBC300
The Knight E-Float Hoist™ is a high-performance servo hoist designed for flexible, efficient material handling. It features Knight's exclusive Float Mode without the need for an inline load cell.
Its extremely low-profile design reduces stack-up height, making it ideal for space-constrained environments. Maximum lifting capacity is up to 300 lbs [136 kg] .
The sealed gearbox ensures durability and smooth operation. The modular construction allows quick 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 advice on the right configuration for your project.
