The Guardian controller range has been extended and six of these units will be displayed. A briefcase controller has been developed for direct control hoists with 4 or 8 channels. Local controls are fitted into the brief case and an optional pendant with Go and Emergency Stop is also available.
LTM have manufactured motor/ hoist controllers for many years, constructing systems for both direct control and low voltage controlled hoists. The Guardian controller range has steadily grown from the first simple 4 channel units to incorporate larger complex multi channel controllers.
Flightcased units, rack mounted or wall mounted systems for permanent installations are all available. LTM will design and construct bespoke Guardian control systems to fit clients' exact requirements.
LTM offers an extensive range of lifting equipment including the Lodestar and Prostar electric chain hoists which are being highlighted at the show. The Lodestar is the entertainment industry standard hoist and these products can be found on most tours, events and in many venues around the world.
LTM offer a comprehensive range of spare parts for these hoists and also offer repairs and routine servicing. Staff are fully trained in both standard equipment and BGV C1 certified equipment and they are all undergoing certified training under the auspices of the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association to prove competence.
