They have also developed some innovative features for LoadGuard motors when used in production applications. The hoists come complete with sealed bearings around the loadchain wheel so there is little chance of rain entering the hoist components. They have also fitted a drain system which consists of a short tube from the load wheel area (where water can sit after rain comes down the chain) to the exterior of the hoist. The drain system means that the water exits the hoist in the hook area.
