Compressed air hoists by J. D. Neuhaus from Pacific Hoists

J.D. Neuhaus produces hoists, winches and crane systems which are powered by compressed air. Thanks to more than 50 years' experience with compressed air as a driving medium, we have become a recognised specialist in this field. The unbeatable advantage of this technology compared with electrically driven hoists is its suitability for standard application in explosion areas endangered, as air power presents no risk of ignition.

Other benefit include sensitive control, numerous further drive-related advantages and our patented vane motor, which already enjoys a legendary reputation thanks to its durability and high load resistance.

The quality of our products is no coincidence as it results from our state-of-the-art precision production facilities coupled with the selection of the highest grade materials.

The complete JDN production range with hoists, cranes and winches includes a total of 12 product lines, which are precisely adapted to their respective areas of application and the customer's requirements in terms of carrying capacities. We consistently set new standards with customised solutions for exceptionally demanding applications. Example include two air-driven monorail hoists with a total capacity of 250 US tons (= 226 metric tonnes) for the BOP handling system on the world's largest Gorilla-series jack-up drilling platform.
