Skip Hoists

Skip hoists manufactured by Macmet have special application for transporting raw feed material in batches to the processing equipment. Skip hoists are a solution in places where space restrictions do not permit use of conventional belt conveyor systems. A skip hoist consists of a bucket raised or lowered with a motorized winch drive. The bucket is equipped with wheels, which move along the guide rails fixed to the structural framework. The bucket tips at the uppermost point of travel and returns down automatically after a fixed preset time interval.
