Pointman Lifting Products’ new Flex-Phase hoist, initially available in the 1/4T capacity Model S unit, continues the company’s tradition of bringing new features to the world of electric chain hoists. This new-to-market hoist gives users the flexibility of powering their hoist with either 115 Volt single phase power or 230 Volt three phase power. With a lifting capacity of 500 pounds at 16 feet per minute regardless of operating voltage, Flex-Phase is well suited for  companies whose projects run the range from small events projects up to large tradeshow events. The compact chassis and low self weight of the SM series platform combine to make the Flex-Phase hoist easy for crews to handle, and leaves more of the rigging points capacity for the support of the production equipment.

The SC1008 is a branch circuit emergency lighting transfer switch (BCELTS) designed for installations that require emergency control of a single, 20A circuit. 2017 changes to the National Electrical Code (NEC) article 700 clearly define requirements for devices that can be used for emergency transfer of branch circuits. Most existing products do not meet these fault-current rating and endurance requirements. The SC1008 does. This BCELTS is designed to transfer one or more lighting loads from one power source to another during a power failure or other emergency situation. ETC’s rugged construction and fail-safe circuitry are UL 1008-approved for any North American emergency lighting application where life safety is an issue.
