FER SERIES

Work clean with confidence.

For lifting applications in food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries—
where maintaining a pristine environment is critical—the FER food-grade
electric chain hoist is the one to choose. Food-grade lubricants used on
the load chain and in the gearbox are NSF H1 compliant for safe use in any
facility where incidental contact with product is a concern. The standard
model also features white epoxy paint, stainless steel /nickel-plated
hardware and a nickel-plated load chain, making the FER the perfect
choice for contaminant-controlled or corrosive processing environments.

Chip-Resistant Bottom Hook

Since the bottom hook can come into direct

hook of the FER are designed to resist
potential contamination from flaking and
chipping.
