Rescue Hoist Model 44316

Externally mounted, 28 VDC electrically powered rescue hoist Model 44316 uses the Collins Aerospace proprietary translating drum cable management system. The Model 44316 design also incorporates a Weston style load brake and overload slip clutch for added safety.

Model 44316 is the successor to Model 42325 hoist and adds a secondary shaft locking mechanism that meets Human External Cargo (HEC) requirements, improves the level wind system design for enhanced durability, includes fault code readout on the built-in test functionality, provides cable length readout in both feet or meters and improves readout accuracy. Cable lubrication extends cable life and helps arrest corrosion.

Symmetrical braking reducing dwell time on direction reversals and enhanced braking capability
Cable foul onset sensing on all models
Continuous duty cycle allows for multiple victim rescues without a cool down period
Single point payout reduces potential for hoist-induced load swings using translating drum technology
Worldwide field engineering services available

Translating drum technology

Fixed cable payout point
Reduced chance of load spinning
Significantly reduced loads on the level-wind
Allows for the use of larger diameter rollers at the cable payout point for improved fleet able capability and cable life
Tighter fairing fits for reduced FOD & environmental ingress into the hoist system
A consistent cable location relative to the aircraft, winch operator and doorway
